5 out of 5 stars The only guide for making curtains!   August 4, 1999

I would recommend this book to anyone. It guides the reader in making all types of curtains-from sheers to swags to bed linen. It is easy to follow and although no patterns are included, one can easily follow the steps for making the pattern!

This book is full of wonderful and clear information that has helped me not only sell features, but construct them as well. Thank you!

I own many books of this type, and this one is the most complete guide to window coverings all in one place. I refer to it constantly, even when using other guides to sewing drapes. The instructions are clear and well illustrated with drawings, not photos. Lots of photos in the idea section, however.
