About this product
Product Information
Are you wanting to do a home makeover? Look no further for help! Sometimes the best way to redecorate a room is simply to refresh it. It's possible that just a change of curtains or some new accessories can make all the difference in the world. A bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, or any room can look dramatically different--amazingly better--with just a few updates. Using the expert techniques in the guide, you'll learn everything you need to know to make your own new furnishings, including: *How to take measurements accurately before you begin your sewing projects *Estimating how much fabric to use, a useful skill for any haberdasher *Basic sewing techniques *And much more. One of the easiest and most economical ways to add style and coziness to your home is by adding fabric accents. You can add bed coverings, slip covers, window dressings, cushion covers, and Roman shades. Because many home accessories require no patterns or contentious sleeves, sewing these items is a great starting point for many beginning seamstresses and tailors. Detailed instructions and photos are provided on how to sew ruffles, round corners on cushions and bedding, and shirred welting on cushions and shams as well as how to add zippers to cushions. Instructions are also provided for a variety of techniques used in custom household decorating. Advice is provided to help the reader best understand fabrics, sewing supplies, and special tools. There is a list of fabrics, their recommended uses, how to care for them, and advantages and disadvantages of each type of fabric. Now you can recreate your home with a few techniques that can be applied to any style of décor. If you are looking for a home makeover for your whole house or just one room, this is a handy book that will help you add fashion to your home on a budget with beautiful yet affordable home decorations.

Sometimes the best way to redecorate a room is to refresh it - change the curtains and some of the accessories. Whether a bedroom, living room, bathroom, or kitchen, any room can look dramatically different - better - with a few updates. If you've shopped for curtains, you are struck by two things: 1) the price of good quality curtains; and 2) the limited selection. It's so disheartening to have an idea of what you'd like to do, but be unable to find the right elements needed for the look you want to achieve. However, stroll into an upholstery fabrics shop, and be amazed. Bolt upon bolt of fabrics to suit every taste - solids, patterns, striking color combinations - with prices ranging from about $7 a yard into the hundreds of dollars per yard. Most upholstery fabric shops also create custom curtains, upholstery, and accessories or can recommend people who do. But with very little effort, you can do the work yourself. Many home decorating projects require few sewing skills and produce rapid results. Throw pillows and café curtains nearly put themselves together, while more complicated items like slipcovers require more time and planning. The end result, though, is having exactly what you want, not settling for what everyone else has. Illustrated Guide to Sewing Home Furnishings: Expert Techniques for Creating Custom Shades, Drapes, Slipcovers and More from Fox Chapel Publishing is a do-it-yourself guide for the inventive decorator who is willing to do a little work in order to make decorating dollars go further. Detailed illustrations guide the user through every step of projects that include curtains, bed spreads and skirts, pillows, and Roman shades. There are also instructions for a variety of techniques used in custom decorating, and guides to fabrics, tools, and sewing supplies. Especially helpful are the "Checklist for Fiber Qualities" that lists fabrics, their suggested uses, advantages and disadvantages, and care, and "A Glossary of Fabric Usefulness" which explains what every type of fabric is and where to use it best. Beginners will be surprised at the variety of fabrics available to them. Edited by Peg Couch (how perfect is that?), Illustrated Guide to Sewing Home Furnishings provides all the information needed to give a home a beautiful makeover or some much-needed tweaks. From project start to finish, every step is included and illustrated, while photos provide a look at the finished product. With its projects and instructions, nearly anyone can have custom-designed style without paying interior designer prices., Fox Chapel Publishing's illustrated guide to "Sewing Home Furnishings" provides you with the "how to" steps to sew everything from drapes to slipcovers, to bedskirts. Taking you from the beginnings of selecting the right material for the project, (I was surprised by how many factors should be taken into consideration), through gathering the right tools for the job, sewing your home accessory, to adding those finishing touches that takes your creation from "good" to spectacular. Detailed instructions and photos are provided to sew ruffles, round corners, shirred welting, and add zippers to cushions. With over 200 images throughout the book, each step is clearly described not only in words but the diagrams as well. This is very helpful, making the book a superb resource for those with beginner to advanced sewing skills. If you are thinking about sewing something for your home, this book is a resource you will want to have at your side!
