Review
Tailor-made furnishings are what every home needs and a professional touch makes all the difference. This book shows how to avoid the time-wasting pickles amateur sewers are familiar with. The wealth of experience includes advice on cutting out various types of fabric. Many classic designs are covered - properly covered chairs, various styles of curtains, blinds and cushions. Advice is given on the techniques professionals use in measuring up and hanging, sewing tips such as how to insert zips or add piping, to make this a distillation of the author's 30-year career in the field. Thirty-five step-by-step projects put the techniques into practice. (Kirkus UK)
