fabric magic by melanie paine A coffee-table book on fabric for the home: coverings, beds and bedding, window curtains, drapes, pillows, lining, pleats, tie-bands, headings, swags, etc. The author demonstrates how fabric can be used creatively in decorating a room, illustrated throughout with color drawings and photographs. first american edition 1987 hardcover

Fantastic resource.

I've had this book for over ten years, and have made several projects from it. It probably is not ideal for those with only basic sewing skills, as the projects describe proportions rather than measurements (so that they can be adapted to any home), but I have had good results. As a book to inspire, it is wonderful. Paine has created beautiful interiors and has many creative ideas for transforming spaces with fabric.
