<p>Cartonnage, the art of box making, is a craft which originated in France. With a minimum of basic equipment and some simple techniques, you can make fabric-covered boxes of all shapes and sizes as well as decorations and accessories for every room of the house: little pots for pencils, correspondence folders, concertina files, trays, picture frames or blotting pads. The boxes themselves can be compartmentalised to make specific containers for sewing materials, writing implements, make-up or cutlery. Easy and quick to make and requiring no specific skills, the projects are grouped into sets for the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, the office and the dining room. This book takes you through all the procedures with clear instructions and photographs of every stage, to ensure that each of the 35 step-by-step projects and the numerous variations presented will make pretty but practical gifts.</p>

Written by a professional curtain designer, this sketchbook is a starting point for anyone considering new curtains, whether to make themselves or to be stitched by a professional. Two-colour illustrations and accompanying notes present a huge range of style and fabric options for each type of window, from small casement to large picture windows. They also show what works best for a particular weight and style of fabric; how different trimmings can alter the appearance of a curtain and how pelmets and tiebacks can be added to basic window dressings. There are sketches of every type of classic and contemporary window dressing, as well as ideas for combining treatments, such as curtains with blinds or using up to three layers of curtains. A final section gives facts and figures on planning and measuring fabric.
