Simply Pillows

As you may know from other reviews, I feel strongly about the books that please me. I love pillows. Again, I have all the books. This book explains Knot corners, etc., I could never get. Now I get it. Maybe it's me, but I don't think so. It's a great instructive book. If you need all the books, like me, you will love it. It's a great inroduction book. More importantly, if you don't know specfic techniques, it is a great instrucitve book. You should purchase it. I loved it. Non book junkies need not apply. But maybe you should.

Lots and lots of different styles and shapes of pillows. Instructions are pretty good with drawings of what the fabric needs to be cut like and step by step text to describe what to do. One thing I especially like is that for each pillow they indicate special techniques used and then tell you where to read specifically about those techniques.

This book is packed with ideas on how to design beautiful pillows and seat cushions. It shows a wide variety of fabrics (cotton, organza, silk, etc), and explains how to use each type to its greatest advantage. The directions for measuring, cutting and sewing are clear and concise. Many clever and fresh design ideas. Inspiring.

I checked this book out at a local library last night, and ordered it today to make sure I always have it. Great, inspiring photography, creative ideas, a good range of skills, and concise illustrations and instructions make this book one of the best I have seen.
