This pillow book emphasizes the importance of thinking of pillows in two parts: the design and the process. The Basics chapter deals with getting started on pillows, working with pillow forms, construction techniques and essential equipment. The other chapters deal with the three main types of pillows: knife-edge, square edge, bolster & rounds, and pillows for furniture. This is a great book for the beginner or the experienced sewer in search of interesting designs.

A great resource for thinking about pillows differently! The beginning of this pillow book examines how to sew different trims with wonderful photos, along with demos on reverse applique, smocking and shirring, and ideas for using up scraps you may have in your fabric stockpile. Ms. Lee also shows the impact the fabric stamps and button designs have on pillows. Details are the emphasis with this book, and the star pillow (on the cover) and shopping bag "pillow", complete with velvet fruit, shouldn't be missed!
