Customer Reviews

Good basic book with charts helping calculate fabric needed (conversion)

Well, I looked though the book and it is a good basic book of how to's and I believe easy to follow. Would have more details or pictures/diagrams on some items but it does have fabric conversion chart on buying fabric etc., which is awesome tool. I am glad I did not realize the author was the author of the BIG ASS BOOK OF CRAFTS before I ordered this book. IT IS WORTH BUYING AS A GUIDE. ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY! YOU WON'T BE SORRY .

Dummies book

This was given to my daughter, who wanted to learn to make slip covers and curtains. I went thru the book and found it to be good with detail about making the different items. I found this book easy to follow.

You really Can Do it yourself

With the help of this book I was able to make a pair of roman shades for my guest bedroom and I must say they turned out pretty darned good. I'm going to tackle a slip cover for my wing chair next! The directions are straightforward and easy to understand. They also help identify those projects that are easy for a beginner as well as ones that take a bit more sewing knowledge. Good book to add to your DIY library.

Window Treatments & Slipcovers For Dummies

I bought this book on the strength of Mark Montano's work on While You Were Out and it's fantastic! So many adorable projects, and most of them are super easy and you don't even have to know how to sew well. You can use glue guns or safety pins and still get a really nice, professional look. There were things for kids' rooms too, which I really loved. I made a window treatment for my cousin's bedroom in one afternoon! Great book. Good job, Mark and Carly!!
