Want to refurbish old deck or director's chairs? Spruce up a seat from the flea market? You'll find directions for all these--with only basic sewing skills required to make slip-on or classic loose furniture covers; tie-on cushions; and other room-refreshing projects.

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.
