Classic Cushions - Tapa blanda

"Kaye Pyke's Classic Cushions" will show the average sewer how to turn basic scraps of fabric and trim into a pillow with a designer label (your own!). An expensive sewing machine is not necessary - all the pillows are made with straight stitch and a zigzag finish. Here are all Kaye Pyke's special effects such as putting a satin picture in the middle of a cushion, or a piece of tapestry, or a piece of hand-painted enamel, or a crest. For the avid embroiderers there are more original Kaye Pyke designs for cushions - or anything else!
