For people who don't sew (or don't want to), no-sew projects are a dream come true.
No-Sew Fabric D¬cor is the first book that tells how to create real window treatments, chair covers, bed and bath, pillows, and home accessories without sewing a single stitch. Its step-by-step projects make it easy to transform a room armed only with a glue gun, staple gun, fusible web, grommets, Velcro, and other no-sew techniques.
Home d¬cor sewing expert Pamela Hastings has adapted the most popular d¬cor projects to become no-sew. Her 35 original designs include window treatments, seat covers, decorator pillows, lampshades, padded headboard, duvet cover, bed canopy, tablecloths, shower curtains, even an armoire. Each project has been photographed on location, and how-to steps are illustrated with beautiful watercolor drawings.
No-Sew Fabric D¬cor is a breakthrough book in home decorating because it opens up a new market: people with a home to decorate, but no ability or desire to sew. The no-sew approach has wide appeal. It's perfect for a man or woman decorating a dorm room, first apartment, or vacation home, but it's also a smart way to turn top-end fabrics into elegant soft furnishings. It's for people who don't own a sewing machine, but it's also for sewers attracted to these timesaving ideas. At last, here's a book for all the no-sewers among us!
