5.0 out of 5 stars design and make curtains and drapes
This a good beginners book. It gives a lot of good basic instructions. The pictures and directions are clear and easy in understand.

I especially like the large full color photos of the finished products.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay for Basic Curtains, April 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Design & Make Curtains & Drapes (Hardcover)
This book was okay for examples of basic drapes without valances. Emphasis was on hand sewing techniques instead of machine sewing. I can't speak for the reader of this review but I use the machine for practically everything. Also, not much instruction or examples of decorative embellishments which lift a drape from bland to something special. Bottomline: Okay if you wish to make simple drapes (by HAND) without swags, jabots, valances, etc. If you are looking for something more -- purchase another book.
