From the author of Sewing With Oilcloth—brighten up your home with these sewing projects that are as easy on you as they are on your budget. Whether you're moving into a new home, launching a home makeover, or just sprucing up a room, this book, At Home With Modern June, by Kelly McCants, provides plenty of ideas on how to infuse individuality into every room in the house. The 27 budget-friendly projects have a retro style and use materials such as oilcloth, laminated cotton, and chalk cloth in addition to quilter's cotton. Easy-to-follow instructions and helpful photographs guide you to success. You'll make drapes, bed skirts, floor mats, and much more. All that's required is a bit of ingenuity, a little time, and some basic skills. “This follow-up will be welcomed by [McCants’s] readers eager for more of her bright, cheerful, and often-oilcloth-centered designs.”—Publishers Weekly “McCants…took her vintage modern aesthetic—think cheery 1950s housewife with a contemporary flair for design—and applied it to home decor. The result is this collection of fun sewing projects for the home, many featuring [her] beloved laminated cottons. Most of the projects are beginner-friendly and require little more than the ability to machine sew in a straight line, but there are a few for sewists looking for a challenge, such as the reupholstered bar stool.”—Library Journal
