<p>This book will help you learn how to decorate with fabric. The creative use of fabric so richly demonstrated in this book will inspire you to decorate any room in your home with both, style and economy. Endlessly adaptable, soft furnishings can be used to establish a mood, camouflage an ugly corner, create a richly welcoming atmosphere, and, above all, to reflect your own personality. These beautiful needlecraft projects, which range in scope from covering entire walls with fabric, to making delightful small accessories, are all explained with foolproof, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by clear, carefully detailed drawings. Here, both, the beginner and the more proficient needlewoman will find a treasury of wonderful ideas for all kinds of furniture coverings, curtains and drapes, blinds, cushions, pillows, bedspreads, tablecloths and lampshades. Each of the more than forty items may be seen in an imaginative room setting, photographed in full color, which displays the charming and inspiring results that can be obtained from the combination of good design and fine needlecraft.</p>
