Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In Fabric Magic, designer and decorator Melanie Paine reveals an infectious enthusiasm for her subject. While her other publications have concentrated on curtains, Melanie now expands her scope by exploring bedding, soft furnishing and other coverings as well, in a comprehensive revised edition. Setting out a diverse range of suggestions and illustrations, all geared towards encouraging the reader to experiment with adventurous colours, patterns and textures, she engagingly admits that some of her favourite effects--such as the free "movement" of rip-stop nylon--have been achieved by happy accident rather than design. Each chapter begins with informative introductory text and a series of inspiring photographs, followed by detailed instructions on how to achieve the desired effect. Aiming her book at a wide range of skill levels, Melanie includes useful advice so that pitfalls such as not measuring the window properly or cutting off the string from the heading tape may be avoided! Jargon and sophisticated techniques are demystified as she provides a glossary and lists of useful suppliers, further reading and other tips. At the same time, she also makes it clear when corners cannot be cut and the professionals should be called in--to install curtain tracking, for instance. Her advice-- "enjoy yourself"! --Fiona Murphy --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Synopsis
This revised and updated guide to soft furnishings reflects the look and mood of today's interiors. It helps readers design and create soft furnishings, from curtains and blinds to bed canopies and chair covers. The numerous techniques covered include: making roller, Roman, festoon and inverted pleat blinds; making lined and interlined curtains using pencil pleat, French pleat, box pleat, gathered, bunch, slot, goblet and scalloped headings; draping and dressing sheers and curtains with swags and tails, tie-bands, pelmets and valances; transforming fabrics by layering, joining, pleating, stitching, adding edgings and insetting borders; and making loose covers, bedlinen and tablecloths. The ideas are affordable and stylish, and should inspire anyone wanting to make professional-looking soft furnishings themselves or to commission others to create the perfect result. Melanie Paine is the author of "Textile Classics" and (with Caroline Clifton-Mogg) "The Curtain Book".
