Not what I expected at all!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Designs for Window Treatments (Hardcover)
This book does not give any directions on how to make window treatments at all. This book has "tips on the best use of particular designs, the desirable proportions in any room setting, and the quantity of material needed." It is difficult to imagine your own material in the different styles of window treatments because there are only line drawings. Overall, I thought it was a pretty useless book and I feel I wasted my money because I was looking for a book to give directions for making window treatments.

Good design sourcebook - but not for beginners,

This review is from: Designs for Window Treatments (Hardcover)
As the title states, this is a book of designs and styles. The author assumes that you are already familiar with the basics. Thorough instructions are provided in the author's other book, appropriately entitled, "Curtain Making Course." (The one downside of ordering books on-line - you can't flip through the book before you buy!)I found this book very useful. For me, the line drawings are preferable to photographs. The lack of pattern makes it easier to either scan or photocopy the curtain style and fill in with colors/designs from my fabrics. The line drawings also made it easier to understand the construction of each curtain since nothing was hidden by fabric patterns. The author's placement suggestions were very helpful (i.e, certain designs should only be used with tall, wide windows). It's advice that designers provide - at a cost of $100 an hour or more. All in all, this is a terrific resource book.

This review is from: Designs For Window Treatments - Over 100 Styles For Curtains and Other Soft Furnishings (Hardcover)
This book is pretty specialized for a limited audience. If you like to make your own curtains or valances for windows or beds, then there is likely something of value for you herein. If not, this won't do anything but gather dust on your bookshelf. This is not really a how-to book, but rather something that will give you ideas of what could be done if you have the skill or know somebody who does.
