CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

A must for beginners -
Katrin Cargill is a very resourceful and inspiring designer, with a clean, " livable " style. Her designs are simple, beautiful and functional. She is able of creating an impression of cosiness and elegance out of the simplest of fabrics.

The layout of " Bed Linen " is, just as of her other books in the same series, very user-friendly (to beginners, that should be I believe, one of the top priorities ), with detailed, coloured, fold-out drawings.

Having said that, I would advise the editors to look again at this particular book's choice of designs. Nice as they may be, we tend to have the impression of an inadequatelly researched and somewhat hurriedly assembled crowd of sometimes beautiful but underdeveloped and somehow repetitive ideas. And this certainly doesn't make a favor to the author.

The sub-categories included could be better arranged in two separate books, one with pillows, sheets, bedspreads and dust ruffles, and one with canopies and headboards.

For a more ample idea of what Ms. Cargill can really offer you, look also for her wonderful " Simple Curtains " and her rich " Fabrications ".

This is a useful book, with ideas easily put to practice that won't ruin your budget,while offering the bedroom an immediate graceful uplift.

Not bad, but too little! -
Let me first say that Katrin Cargill is a very inspirational stylist. The format of all her Home Living Workbook series is user friendly and the instructions simple and adequately illustrated. However, she seems to have run out of inspiration on this particular book.The projects and the fabrics used are all too common. The Bed Linens book is not useless, but I believe that an improved edition would be necessary to keep up to her readers' expectations.To anyone new in sewing I would suggest her perfect Simple Curtains. I would also recommend saving money for the wonderful Fabrications, a constant source of sewing inspirations or even sheer day dreaming!
