Average Customer Ratings:





This collection of projects and techniques is a comprehensive guide to sewing fabric decor for the home. It includes a variety of designer pillows with lots of ideas for personalizing them. The window treatment projects cover a wide range of styles and forms, from pinch-pleated draperies to triangle-pointed valances; some that require minimal sewing and others that are a bit more elaborate. There are styles suitable for every room in the house and every skill level, with information about window treatment hardware and installation. Slipcover techniques also run the gamut from casual quick and easy to formal fitted, with advice for achieving professional-quality results. Each section contains information on selecting fabrics, working with patterns and colours, and developing a personal decorating style.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Reference Book - 




I ordered this book because I was out of ideas and needed some help with slipcovers. I have been sewing for more years than I can count, however, never to old to learn a few new tricks. I found this book to be very helpful, very simple instructions, step-by-step, they assume you are new at sewing, and take each step of the process & add photos so you can see what it is suppose to look like to keep you on track. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants to improve their sewing skills and/or new sewers or just looking for good ideas.

Its a good book for beginners, I am a beginner. ALOT of the projects in this book seem like they are from the early 80's (yuck) even though it was published in 2000. If looking for a how-to book this one is good with tips only. MOST of the projects are pillows and window treatments, with only a hand full of other projects. NOT a good book for the younger crowd looking for tips and projects for decorating their home. Or anyone looking for something modern. I personally was very disappointed, and there are book out there that are SO much better.
Book review - 




Very good book, with easy to follow instructions. My only reason for not giving it a 5-star rating was because I would have liked to see a few more curtain/drapery styles than were offered. Lots of really good tips in this book.
Comprehensive Step-by-Step Instructions - 




I wish I had seen this book first! This one reference combines numerous topics in one. What I like best are the step-by-step instructions - with photos! I am new at sewing and being able to see what the steps should look like is extremely helpful. Also, the book covered every type of curtain I could think up does such a thorough job with pillow descriptions that I think of the slipcovers section as an added bonus. If you want to decorate your home with neat and professional looking work, get this book!
For all home decor needs by Star City Home DecorGood on Pillows and Windows - 




I love this book , the instructions for pillows are just what I needed and the photos and inspiration for windows are perfect. More attention is paid to other types of decorating though than window treatments. Still this is among my top 5 favorite home decorating books.
