Review

Extensive, practical, and packed with ideas, this guide presumes only a general acquaintance with sewing and explains pretty much everything you need to know to make dozens and dozens of home decor items. Get your feet wet with easy projects like tablecloths, bedspreads, pocket organisers, hangings and curtains. Move on to pleated curtains, slipcovers, tailored lampshades, fabric-covered window shades and even simple upholstery, or delight the kids with an appliquéd sleeping bag, a bean-bag chair or bunk bed hangings that double as a playhouse. Then when the work is all done, relax in a comfy canvas hammock. Some of the fabric choices and furniture stylings do look a little dated, but the ample directions are still perfectly valid. --Amy Handy
