I bought this book on the strength of Mark Montano's work on While You Were Out and it's fantastic! So many adorable projects, and most of them are super easy and you don't even have to know how to sew well. You can use glue guns or safety pins and still get a really nice, professional look.

There were things for kids' rooms too, which I really loved. I made a window treatment for my cousin's bedroom in one afternoon! Great
book. Good job, Mark and Carly!!

With the help of this book I was able to make a pair of roman shades for my guest bedroom and I must say they turned out pretty darned good. I'm going to tackle a slip cover for my wing chair next!

The directions are straightforward and easy to understand. They also help identify those projects that are easy for a beginner as well as ones that take a bit more sewing knowledge. Good book to add to your DIY library.

This was given to my daughter, who wanted to learn to make slip covers and curtains. I went thru the book and found it to be good with detail about making the different items. I found this book easy to follow.

The book arrived in a timely manner and was a bargaiin in price. My skills are limited in DIY sewing projects. I am a visual person and so I was disapointed that the manual had fewer diagrams to follow. than other instruction manuals.

Save your money and buy a good magazine or go to the library. The pictures and ideas in this book look like grade school projects. Definitely not top shelf patterns or methods. Very unsophisticated and downright ugly projects. There are many better books for sewing and decorating for beginners.

This was my first for dummies book (and will be the last). Some information is ok, but there is better books out there. In another words, do not waste your money
