Customer Reviews:
A great little book!.......2003-01-11
"Here Pretty Girl" is a wonderful adventure. It is heartwarming, funny, and absolutely delightful. I was kept on the edge of my seat, hoping that Sabrina would be rescued before it was too late. The author does a great job of drawing the reader into the story. I was rooting for Joanie, Mary, Nancy, Cindy and of course, Sabrina.

"Slipcovers are to furniture what clothing is to the body," declares this creative, common-sense guide. "They camouflage, dress up or down, give character, and convey style." They can transform an ordinary item into something exciting that helps make a room work. Less pricey than new furniture or reupholstery, they can nevertheless be somewhat costly when custom-made--unless you learn to make them yourself. Simply Slipcovers is an excellent choice for this purpose. In keeping with Sunset's winning how-to series format (see also Simply Window Treatments and Simply Upholstery), the book offers a common-sense approach to choosing style, fabric, and trim, supplementing its extensive step-by-step instructions with good, clear photos and diagrams. In addition to actual construction information, the 20 projects explain measuring and cutting (with measuring diagrams and cutting layouts) and include loads of great tips on achieving a professional appearance. Besides cover-ups for futon, daybed, and ottoman, and both simple tailored and elaborately swagged sofa designs, projects feature various chair styles, from easy folding- and dining-chair disguises to skirted armchair and welted wing chair covers. Several projects also feature "designer details," ideas for finishing touches like contrasting borders, decorative bows and binding, or pleated swags. The "basics" section explains yardage calculations for many types of soft furnishings, cutting and fitting directions, general construction techniques, and an overview of essential equipment. Although some pieces require advanced sewing skills, many can be handled by the novice. --Amy Handy

Simply Slipcovers.......2006-04-02
I have been studying this book and plan to begin my slipcover project just as soon as I find my perfect fabric. This book is of great encouragement to me and I believe I will be successful on even my first attempt at slipcovers. Sandra R.
Simply Slipcovers.......2005-09-08
Very interesting book - can't wait to see if it's as straight forward as it appears. The directions are clear and encouraging. Some of the covers are really beautiful. Great value for money and the fabric calculator is very helpful.
Behold! A beautiful informative book!.......2005-07-15
As both a novice seamstress and an avid thrift store/ antique mall/ flea market shopper, I needed to learn to make a slipcover. After reading the reviews, I bought this book - and it's been amazing. The instructions are clear, and my confidence (and competence) has grown immensely. I've been slipcovering everything that will stand still long enough.
Very impressive content.... but poor book construction.......2004-11-04
I have never seen such a wonderful and varied collection of slipcovers in one place. There are examples of slipcovers with piping, ruffles, bows, ties, swags, borders, pleats, fringes, scallops, cording, tassels, and flanges. And then there are some plain, unadorned slipcovers for those who prefer that style. Then there are excellent and easy directions for creating the slipcovers. The photos are all in color and the drawings are very good, and also in color. My one complaint about this book (ISBN 0376015144) is that the pages are glued to the paperback cover and they are coming loose. What a dreadful way to put together a book that deserves so much better!
Thank goodness for slipcovers!.......2004-09-03
I am an experienced sewer so I didn't think I needed a book to teach me how to make a slipcover. After all, I had made slipcovers for two upholstered chairs before. But I decided to buy this book to get "tips" on slipcovering my sofas--definitely much bigger projects than 2 chairs. I am happy I bought it. I love their techniques for roughly cutting out all the fabric you'll need in rectangles and squares and then simply draping these pieces over the couch, pinning in place, removing and sewing. This resulted in a very fitted and tailored look. One sofa down, one to go..... I'll admit I didn't follow all of their instructions--they are so long and detailed! They would probably be helpful for a beginner, but like I said, I've sewed for years so once I got to the pin-fit method on the couch I didn't open the book again.

Excelente libro para primerizas.......2006-05-24
Cuando estaba esperando a mi pequeña Ema, tenía muchos libros que me explicaban el proceso del embarazo pero sólo este libro pudo ayudarme a aprender cómo cuidar de ella. Lamentablemente mi mamá vive lejos y no pudo acompañarme las primeras semanas así que puedo decirles que este libro fue mi salvavidas. Como está lleno de fotos demostrando cómo se baña, cómo se limpia el cordón umbilical, etc, en verdad deja muy poco a la imaginación y por ende no hay tanta improvisación. La parte del proceso del embarazo está bien, pero hay libros más completos. Sin embargo, los capítulos sobre el cuidado del bebé en los primeros meses de su nacimiento son invaluables. Imagínense lo que es recibir miles de consejos de la pediatra, las enfermeras, etc. sobre cómo colocar al bebé para amamantarlo pero nadie se había dado cuenta que yo tenía pezones invertidos así que la pobre Emita sufrió 3 días hasta que, entre llanto y llanto, llegué a la página del libro donde muestra los pezones invertidos y sugiere utilizar los protectores de silicona, santo remedio! Ema se "agarró" como se dice y fuimos felices desde entonces.
