Summary: Excellent instructions, fun to read
Review: As a former technical writer, I am very critical of most instructional materials. This book, however, contains the best organized, clearest, most thorough, and best illustrated instructions I have ever seen. As an experienced sewer, I was impressed by the many sewing tips that I picked up from this book. The sections on decorative trims and buttons and buttonholes were especially helpful. The book was simply fun to read. The layout is pleasing, and the writing style is casual without being condescending or chatty. The ideas for window treatments are wide-ranging and creative. I originally borrowed this book from the library; now I'm going to buy a copy for myself.

Summary: More Splash Than Cash Window Treatments
Review: Home decorators from Dunces to Divas will love this book.The treatments are lovely but once again, Ms Babylon has outdone herself on the instructions. This book is packed with details, suggestions, hints, tips, all in easily understood, easy to follow instructions. I've been sewing my own window treatments for years and even I learned many time saving, workroom tips. I loaned my copy to my teenage daughters and they were able to design and complete window treatments for their rooms. This book gave them the tools and the confidence to tackle the project! Thanks Donna and Victoria for another great hit! Carolan Kviklys

Summary: just okay
Review: this book is okay -- the projects are very ordinary and the fabric shown is not very designer like. There were some good project ideas but nothing very splashy. Much better books available.
