These 50 simple fabric projects can be made in less than a day, most of which take less than three hours from start to finish, whether that is a patchwork throw, table linen, pillow covers, curtains or lampshades. Each project has a quick introduction, an estimated time, list of items needed, advice on cutting out and step-by-step diagrams and instructions. A 'low sew' table runner requires minimal sewing and has a beaded trim and looks its best when made with luxuriant fabric. Rather than buying a new duvet set, sew a cover with appliquéd centre which offers a decorative element. Add a personal touch to the home with braid trimmed curtains or button-and-tab seat covers which work well with painted furniture. There are also professional tips including the use of an elegant ready-made trimming, crocheted trimming or pom poms on items such as a lampshade. The tip on ribbon ties shows readers how to make the detail in just three steps while the advice on tassels shows crafters how to make them using cardboard. There are sewing machine features, guidance to prepare and cut fabrics and practise a range of stitches including the style of basting, buttonholes, hemming and slips. 13-page techniques section, paperback, 8.2" x 10.9", colour photos, 160pp.
