Summary: Clear and Easy How-to
Review: Even though the exact window treatment I was looking for was not included in this book, there were enough examples and construction tips to complete my project. This book is pretty, with lovely pictures and good illustrations, as well as many step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow and adapt to suit anyone's particular needs and creativity. A very good reference for both the novice and the experienced seamstress or home decorating buff. I recommend this book.

Summary: Worth every cent!!!
Review: I am not one to spend on a decorating magazine but this was a must!! Tons of Ideas that can be altered to accommodate the decor of the room your window is in. They show you all the how to's in simple steps. Not to mention all the color photos of the finished product! 220 pages of ideas that even the most challenged home decorator could appreciate!!Buy it and if not at least go borrow it from the library!

Summary: A real disappointment
Review: I was hoping for a book to give me some great ideas for window treatments and this book is full of just plain tacky window treatments. It does make it very easy to make them, but who would want to? The fabrics are cheap-looking and who wants a window with ties connected to potted plants? The book is also lacking some of the most basic design concepts that I really wanted like balloon valances or just plain old curtains that open along a rod. This was my first return to Amazon. I have no use for this book.

Summary: outdated
Review: The ideas in this book are almost laughable. The projects that are shown wouldn't even look good with different fabrics. If you are into lots of ruffles and pouffy things everywhere, then this is for you. If you are into simpler window treatments with exquisite fabrics that complement a room, this isn't for you.

Summary: If you want to buy one window treatment book - this is it...
Review: This book has a great selection of window treatments and shows you how to make every one of them. The book covers panels and swags, cornices, rod pocket panels, valances, roman shades etc. The drapes range from formal to casual. Some of the drapes do not require sewing, and the ones that do use very simple techniques. The two sections that I would have liked in this book are on scarf draping techniques and what to do about problem windows/doors. In spite of these omissions, this is a very good book.

Summary: THE best book for making your own window treatments!
Review: This book is absolutely awesome for ideas and instructions. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert at sewing, this book has step by step pictures so you can see exactly where you need to be in your project. I made a 12 feet long soft cornice that came out absolutely beautiful (with welting that I made and all!) and up until then, my sewing experience was in Jr. High sewing class. All the projects have complete step by step instructions and photos. There are lots of great ideas for just about any type of treatment you could want. You'll be re-doing all of your windows! This book is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in saving a lot of money and making their own window treatments. I have yet to find any other book that even compares to this one.

Summary: Great book with great examples
Review: This is a great book with wonderful examples of various curtain/drape styles. The pictures show the exact steps one needs to take to complete a project--from measuring, cutting, sewing, hanging... If one is a beginner, one can follow the book step by step and end up with wonderful curtains. If one is an accomplished seamstress, one can really take off with various ideas from this book. This is a no-nonsense, solid and beautiful book.
