Simply Pillows from Sunset: I checked this book out at a local library last night, and ordered it today to make sure I always have it. Great, inspiring photography, creative ideas, a good range of skills, and concise illustrations and instructions make this book one of the best I have seen.
many varieties!: Lots and lots of different styles and shapes of pillows. Instructions are pretty good with drawings of what the fabric needs to be cut like and step by step text to describe what to do. One thing I especially like is that for each pillow they indicate special techniques used and then tell you where to read specifically about those techniques.
SIMPLY PILLOWS: HATS OFF TO AMAZON.COM ! ! I purchased Simply Pillows after finding it in a local bookstore and comparison shopping at Amazon.com. The savings through AMAZON.COM were terrific! SIMPLY PILLOWS is a fantastic "users" book. I have been sewing for well over 30 years and found this book to have many great qualities. The graphic illustrations are easy to follow and the instructions are precise and concise -- not leaving anything out. The only DILEMMA? WHERE TO PUT ALL THE PILLOWS I HAVE MADE THIS PAST WEEK? and I'm still making them ! ! THANKS SO MUCH.
Just What You're Looking For: This book is packed with ideas on how to design beautiful pillows and seat cushions. It shows a wide variety of fabrics (cotton, organza, silk, etc), and explains how to use each type to its greatest advantage. The directions for measuring, cutting and sewing are clear and concise. Many clever and fresh design ideas. Inspiring.
