Wonderful instructions for a klutz like me or anyone else who wants to make a nice slipcover for a sofa or any kind of chair. Some are very easy for never before sewers, others take a bit of skill. But I swear if I can do it so can anyone else. I needed instructions for making a futon cover for my old futon with the beat-up cover. Determined not to pay the overblown prices the futon companies charge, I bravely checked out this book from my library. Then bought it! Not only did I make the one in the book, EXACTLY, but I went on to make a few throw pillows too. Every step of the way is explained and illustrated for you. Since then, with renewed courage, I covered a round ottoman. Wow, it looks great! my hubby thinks I'm a sewing genius. I love this book!
