Book Description

October 1, 1991
Her books have sold over 100,000 copies in the United States and her seminars across the country are always sold out. She’s the world’s foremost authority on window treatments, and her name is Caroline Wrey. The New York Times wrote, “To Lady Caroline, diamonds are not a girl’s best friend, but table clamps, Velcro, and a staple gun are.”

Combining her skill as an accomplished seamstress, an artistic eye that takes a dim view of boring curtains, and her experience as a teacher, The Complete Book of Curtains and Drapes is the definitive book on the creation of this most vital element of interior design, inspiring both beginners and experts to create luxurious living environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secrets of Making Classy Curtains, January 11, 2005
This covers all the details of measuring the window and deciding on style, fabric, etc. Learn to make standard drapes, swags, Austrian and Roman blinds, tie-backs and rosettes to dress your windows. The big color photos show lush room setting with handsome curtains.
I used the book mostly to look at styles and fabrics, but for a sewer, this book has all the how-to you could want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great step by step for beautiful silk drapes, December 22, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Book of Curtains and Drapes (Hardcover)
I am an intermediate sewer (my projects include curtains, roman shades, pillows). I needed step by step instructions for creating professional looking, interlined, silk, pinch pleated drapes for my living room. I went to the library and checked out every book on the subject -- and this was far superior to the rest. I would highly recommend.
