I've purchased this book and have found that the directions are not at all easy to follow. Details are left out, and diagrams are few and far between. I wouldn't recommend it.

This book was my primary reference while I made shades for 13 windows, saving thousands of dollars over having them made by a workroom. Not only did the book provide inspiration by use of many pictures, I found the instructions to be more than adequate.

I have had this book as well as her other: drapes and swags for over 12 years. I have used both extensively and have been very happy with the finished results. Some are able to be simplified in steps but I found most to be well planned. I have done window treatments out of my home for over 5 years and these books were a wonderful resource. I only wish I had had her slipcover book as well!

I, like another reviewer, noticed many details and instructions missing. Diagrams provided were pretty worthless. Good photos of what a project might look like if you are an experienced sewer & can read between the lines of the written instructions for the missing details. Cannot recommend, leaves much to be desired.
