Giving your home a facelift is easy and inexpensive with the clever use of decorative soft furnishings. This book show how you can transform your sitting room through the simple addition of a few scatter cushions or a throw. Add a hint of luxury and elegance to your dining room with a silk-bordered tablecloth, and lift your bedroom with a brightly coloured quilt, a pristine white headboard cover or a gathered and fitted bed valance.
The book's expert advice on what to put where, which type of fabric to choose, and how to coordinate colours and patterns, ensures professional-looking results with that designer touch. This is followed by information on the different types of pads and fillings available, and details on how to measure up seating, beds and tables and work out the amount of fabric you need. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step photographs explain all the basic techniques, from stitches and seams to mitering corners, inserting zips and adding eye catching frills, fringes, tassels, buttons and ties.
