This book is more than I had hoped it would be. It's fantastic. The directions (with measurement info) are such a big help. Finally a way to decorate your windows economically and easily too. Anyone can follow this book since it is really a step by step book with a lot of photos.

I loved this book. It is extremely well written. I wish the author would write a few more books on the subject. I have made several of the curtains and they all look beautiful. I consider myself a beginner. I am using it to train myself to make curtains for others. If you get any book on making curtains, this it the book to read.

This book was exactly as represented in its description. It filled my requirements in several ways by offering simple instructions that can be adapted to most any fabric and situation. These instructions can be understood and followed by anyone who has modest experience with needle, thread and machine. No fancy equipment required, just the ordinary accoutrements found in any sewing cabinet. Not having constructed anything of this sort in 40 years, I needed encouraged that I could remember all the steps required before cutting into my expensive fabric. Like the carpenter said, "Measure twice, cut once." This book allows me to do that with confidence. It actually pushed me to do something more sophisticated than I first intended. It has my highest recommendation.

The book provides good information, and pictures that can inspire. However, not being at all a seamstress, I still felt intimidated by the process of making my own. Perhaps down the road it will be more applicable to what I am doing. Would recommend if you are not a complete novice.

Excellent resource. I need ideas and a little help on how and what to do. I haven't sewn in ages, so this book is really handy.

The book says it best: "from inspiration to installation." I felt inspired & less intimidated about the process of using window treatments as part of my decor

Directions were very clear & easy to follow, even for a novice seamstress. Nice variety of curtain patterns.

love this book.....am making curtains and this gives me an idea of how to do several different kinds to make
