Create linen as beautiful--in time--as your grandmother's! Carry on the family tradition with handmade sheets, pillowcase sets, comforters, matching tablecloths and napkins, and more. With instructions on adding decorative edging.

These compact guides provide a wealth of information and ideas on making soft furnishings. Each volume contains an overview on selecting fabrics and styles and then offers clearly written instructions illustrated with drawings for basic types of styles e.g., a duvet cover, a roman shade, a slipcover, and a bolster pillow. Suggestions for variations of fabric and trimmings to use are also included. Color photographs of the finished projects help illustrate the choices. The books conclude with a section on cutting fabrics, seams, piping, and a glossary. Recommended for public libraries.
