"Pillows are palettes on which we experiment with shape, texture, color, and technique," says this guide filled with lots of fun ideas for easy-sew pillows. Meant to be constructed with the serger or the sewing machine, they range from embellished standard squares to geometric forms to novelty shapes. Step-by-step instructions are supported by ample line art; a four-page section showcases all the finished products in full-color photos. In addition to the 31 projects, there are full directions for numerous stitching, designing, and decorative techniques. --Amy Handy
