House Beautiful: A Seasonal Guide to Decorating With Fabric

You can have a new decor for every season if you're clever with a sewing machine. Just a few yards of luxe fabric can be transformed almost instantly into something that will change the whole character of your room: a tablecloth, sofa pillows, a bed canopy, or slipcovers for your occasional chairs. The editors of House Beautiful have assembled a number of patterns suitable for the intermediate sewer, and their sophisticated fabric suggestions create an English-country-manor atmosphere of richness and comfort.
