  Plastic canvas is a modern material which offers the creative embroiderer endless possibilities for making three-dimensional and practical items for the home. Plastic canvas is rigid enough to hold its shape when handled, does not snag embroidery yarn and requires no hemming, making it particularly suitable for three-dimensional pieces. These advantages are exploited in the designs presented in this book. Each of the designs suits a room in the home, such as the detailed chest of drawers for the study, the collector's clock for the living room and the napkin box for the dinning room. The author provides all of the practical information that the reader needs, such as detailed guidance on how to make each item, from cutting the canvas to assembling the finished product, with step-by-step instructions accompanied by diagrams, charts and photographs.
