Sew Decorative Quick and Easy Home Accents from Sew News



"Sew Decorative Quick and Easy Home Accents from Sew News", published by Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place, is a fun and creative book that will help you make wonderful items to decorate your home.  And many of the projects would also make great gifts too!
There are 24 projects in this book, each with easy to follow instructions and great visuals.  Projects include a variety of items, from table toppers, pillows, pot holders, placemats, curtains, lampshades, pillow & sheet embellishments, and more.
This book also provides insights on basic hand embroidery stitches, a basic sewing glossary, and insights on a variety of sewing techniques from pleating, gathering, boxing corners,etc..
I believe this book is a good fit for anyone interested in sewing items to decorate their home, as well as to make for gifts.  It is also an appropriate book for those with sewing skills from beginner to advanced, as there are a variety of projects perfect for all levels.
Projects are refreshing and modern, where all the projects are inspirational.  I hope you get a chance to check this book out at your local sewing store and/or online at Martingale & Company's store.
