With the revolution in fabric design, more people want the power of upholstering their own furniture instead of relying on what is in the stores, or reupholstering simply because they love the new fabrics so much. Using the bold array of fabrics available, from ethnic and botanical designs to those that are made to match wallpapers, Americans are upholstering in a way that is a world apart from the stuffy and complicated approach of the past.

Fresh, bright designs are made simple with clear step-by-step instructions, materials lists, and cutting details, while color photos of gorgeously-patterned designs provide inspiration. Along with the basics, there are also unexpected and whimsical projects. A glossary is included for beginners
