Today's homeowners want their homes to be distinctive and stylish without hiring expensive decorators and designers. They want to do it themselves and realize that the heart of a home's personality is in the details - the window dressings, bed coverings, throw pillows, lampshades - all those subtle accents that in combination make a statement about the people who live there.

This beautifully illustrated book presents simple step-by-step instructions for more than 30 home dec projects - from curtains to chair covers - for every room in the house.

Full instructions for making curtains, swags, cornices, valances, tiebacks, cushions, bolsters, chair pads, throw pillows, chair covers, lampshades, duvet covers, bedcovers, pillowcases, tablecloths, napkins, and place mats

From Library Journal:

Each of these books provides sewing projects for sprucing up the home. The two Krause publications are very similar and cover a wide range of projects, including window dressings, bed and table linens, cushions, and pillows. Cowan's book begins with detailed information about equipment, fabrics, sewing techniques (including serger instructions and left-handed and right-handed stitching), and projects for pet cushions and computer covers. However, Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor has the more clearly illustrated instructions to the projects, with simple and elaborate styles shown. Window Dressing gives clearly written and well-illustrated instructions for making simple styles of valances, curtains, and drapes. Sew-It-Yourself Home Decor is a good candidate for public libraries. Purchase the other two titles if there is a strong interest in sewing for the home.
