McCall's Home Fashion Sew-It Book - 1965

Check out these colour schemes! The furniture! "Home decorating is one of the most exciting and stimulating activities you can undertake whether you are a bride-to-be planning the "trousseau" for your first home, or giving a face lifting to your home of many years. It is even more exciting if you are planning it as a do-it-yourself project. For the woman who sews, decorating a house can provide a new field for creativity—a challenge in learning to create with fabric and thread... In plotting your decorating, think of each room as a unit and its walls, windows, furnishings and accessories as its "costume." Think of the home as a series of units, flattering and complimenting each other. Plan for the total look so that each room and your entire home will have a well-coordinated effect that reflects the taste and interests of you and your family. This book has been designed to help you make various types of home fashions. We hope that you will find it a helpful guide to selecting and constructing the items that will make your home a beautiful place in which to live. Basic designs using basic sewing techniques are discussed. By giving the basic designs an individual touch, you can make them seem new and interesting."
