Home Decor for Beginners

I bought this book with the intention of making some home decor items, but mostly to help me improve my sewing in general. I thought that the clear, step-by-step instructions and explanations were great, not only for the particular project, but also for obtaining useful general information. I did finally make the Roman shades, and they turned out great. Without this book, I'm not sure that I would have had the confidence to tackle this project.

i'm a beginner sewer, was looking online for a how to book and bought this one. So far have made roman shades and outside chair cushion's. was soooo easy to do and now feel more confident to try other things.

Hello, this book is small, but wonderful. This is the best home decor sewing book I have found, the instructions are clear and helpful. There is a section on your sewing machine, seams, and everything I wanted to know was here. Finally after sewing classes and many other books, I finished my bedroom curtains, and I'm ready to do more. I can't believe I like to sew. Before it was a chore and made me cry in frustration, I wish I found this book a long time ago. Worth the money, I like the series but this book was the best.

As someone who returned to sewing after a 20 year absence, I found this book a wonderful way to "jump start" into projects. The instructions were clear and the illustrations made each project a "never fail" project. Also, there are dozens of tips and sewing term explanations throughout the book that were helpful as well. Coats & Clark even suggests the different fabrics you can use for each project which was a plus for me. I've completed all but one project from the book and get raves from people who see my handiwork. There are so many DIY projects and suggestions for decorating your home in this one book, it was well worth buying.

Okay...I learned to sew in home ec. and havent since then (let's say 30 years or so)...and this book brought it all back. Wow, I made the best tablecloth in 2 days...great instructions...easy measuring and fabric guide! I am impressed
