Product Description

Can't afford a new couch? Cover it with pillows! Every interior decorator worth her measuring tape knows the easiest not to mention cheapest way to transform a room is with fresh, colorful cushions. For this beautiful sewing book, veteran crafter Shannon Okey created more than 25 patterns for every room in the home. Projects range from beginner friendly throw pillows, shams, and bolsters to more advanced bench pads, ottomans, and oversized floor cushions. We've tucked ready-to-use (no photocopier enlarging here!) pattern pieces into a pocket and used Wire-O binding for easy reference while sewing. With photographs and designs inspired by the hippest looks, The Pillow Book is just the fix for quick and easy home makeovers.

Customer Reviews

Pillow patterns make it easy!
The best part about this book is the clear, large removable patterns. Making and designing pillows from these templates was fun and easy. The book has a spiral format which is very durable. I recommend this book over others I have seen and purchased.

Not What I Expected
The book doesn't actually come with 25 patterns. There are 6 patterns tucked into a pocket. The rest of the book is written out instructions for various pillow projects, supported by one picture per project. No step by step photos or illustrations in this book.

Cover misleading
Very good directions, simple and easy to follow. The pillows on the cover of the book are sitting on a wicker-back chair, which makes the pillows appear to have "handles" in them. Not the case. Nice photographs inside the book. Good value for a "how to" book.
