Description
"He offers specific, easy-to-follow instructions for sewing tie-on dining chair covers that chichi caterers use. Other do-it-yourself highlights include directions for creating table napkins with zigzag borders, sofa cushions with scalloped edges, and roulea-edged pillowcases. Best of all, the instructions are accessible and use widely available materials. If you can't stitch a hem, you can always share this resourceful book with your favorite seamstress. All the ideas embrace Conran's signature contemporary, continental, and simple design ethos."--"Better Homes and Gardens."
