3.0 out of 5 stars some nice ideas, but didn't like the illustrations, June 28, 1998

This review is from: Slipcover Chic: Designing and Sewing Elegant Slipcovers at Home (Hardcover)
It was good to show the same chair with three different looks, and the how-to diagrams were good if sketchy. But I found the watercolour illustrations rather mimsy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Did not like illustrations, June 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Slipcover Chic: Designing and Sewing Elegant Slipcovers at Home (Hardcover)
I think that this book has some good ideas for beginners as far as (1) how to lay out fabric, (2) how to make basic slipcover patterns, etc.; however, the illustrations in the book are almost child-like in presentation.

This review is from: Slipcover Chic: Designing and Sewing Elegant Slipcovers at Home (Hardcover)
I needed to make a slipcover for a wing chair. I borrowed this book from the library and renewed it twice. It is the best book I have read on slipcovers. The instructions were concise and easy to follow. The wing chair turned out great. I decided that I had to have this book for my personal reference library.
