  Lavish color photographs of gorgeous room settings are only the beginning. Spectacular soft furnishings that are also quick and easy to make are the focus of attention. Ideas on colors and patterns that will give you the confidence to tailor your projects to coordinate with, add life to, or draw together the decorative schemes in your home complete the picture. Inspiration and how-to-- it's all here! Essential techniques-- from hemming to inserting a zipper-- are explained, and a directory of basic stitches is also included. Dress windows with a tie-on blind and curtains, lined curtains, a Roman blind, or a festoon blind. Make a cushion and give it flair with zippers and vents, piping, and trimming. Whip up a fringed tablecloth, placemats, and napkins. Sew bed curtains, a reversible quilt, and pillowcases. Try a baby towel and a changing mat. There are 40 soft furnishings altogether!
