Book Description

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Each of these books provides sewing projects for sprucing up the home. The two Krause publications are very similar and cover a wide range of projects, including window dressings, bed and table linens, cushions, and pillows. Cowan's book begins with detailed information about equipment, fabrics, sewing techniques (including serger instructions and left-handed and right-handed stitching), and projects for pet cushions and computer covers. However, Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor has the more clearly illustrated instructions to the projects, with simple and elaborate styles shown. Window Dressing gives clearly written and well-illustrated instructions for making simple styles of valances, curtains, and drapes. Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor is a good candidate for public libraries. Purchase the other two titles if there is a strong interest in sewing for the home.

Sew-it-Yourself home Decor by Karen Coetzee and Rene Bergh,
This review is from: Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor: Fabric Projects for the Living Room, Bedroom & Beyond (Paperback)
I received this book and was amazed at how easy the instructions were. The first thing I tried were pillowcases, for gift giving. Additionally, I lent this to my friend who claims she is a non-creative type. Would you believe she was able to make her first scatter cushion! I certainly will recommend this book. It's instructions are clear, and easy to follow.

This review is from: Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor: Fabric Projects for the Living Room, Bedroom & Beyond (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. I am new to sewing and I have alot of things I would like to do with my sewing machine for my home and family - I find this book is full of tips, tricks, and "how-to's" for the eager beginner. I would recommend it to anyone who has a do-it-yourself attitude... it's very helpful.
