Summary: Easy to Follow Instructions
Review: This book does an excellent job of providing step-by-step instructions. For a set of instructions, there is a sketch that shows what that sheet of fabric is supposed to look like. Even though I don't sew, I am much more confident that I can imitate these instructions than books that give only text instructions along with a big picture of the finished product. I like this much better than the ones intended to be inspiration that include only visuals of the finished products. Another good book to consider is Do-It-Yourself Fabric Decor. This book uses photographs to show the steps and also includes sections pillows and slipcovers. Both books are excellent.

Summary: Good styles, good instructions.
Review: This book has everything that even a beginner seamstress needs to design custom window treatments. The designs lean toward main line traditional, but with accessories and fabric choice, could fit any style. Nice color pictures of windows and room settings. Very good step-by-step instructions for sewing as well as measuring, cutting, and other helpful techniques.

Summary: Very dated and old looking
Review: This book is old, I found. It shows too many ideas that are not current. The how-to is OK, but there are newer books around that do the job better.

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: This book is something no household should be without. Everyone who knows how to sew (from beginner to expert) will find this book useful and will save lots of $$$$ by making their own window treatments. The instructions were easy-to-follow and there were lots of pictures and drawings. I made roman shades, tab top curtains, and cornice boards for several rooms in my home. I saved hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by doing it myself.This book is an inexpensive investment in creating your dream home. Buy the book and start checking out fabric stores. You will love the options that suddenly open up to you when you are no longer constrained by what the department stores sell. And you'll love that you can get custom-made window treatments without paying and arm and a leg. You'll be amazed at the variety of looks you can create with a little bit of imagination and effort. With so many different treatments to choose from, the hardest part of decorating your house will be choosing from among all the great options. This book will pay for itself with your first window treatment!
