Review of The New Curtain Book . . .,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Curtain Book: Master Classes with Today's Top Designers (Paperback)
This book contains many ideas for curtains and drapes grouped in a logical order. As a drapery maker, I found it useful as an idea book for clients, but not as useful for the do-it-yourself at home sewer. I agreed with most points in the book, but there were some ideas that I did not agree with, as if it were written by someone who had not actually sewn the draperies. It had many examples of different fabrics, and, thus, was very colorful. Great for some one in my line of work, but probably not as practical for someone who wishes to sew some drapes for her/himself.

Misleading Title?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Curtain Book: Master Classes with Today's Top Designers (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. The title suggests that it is a how-to book and I was expecting "lessons" in curtain making. This is not at all what this book is about.

Wonderful,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Curtain Book: Master Classes with Today's Top Designers (Paperback)
This book gave me such wonderful inspiration for redoing my window treatments. So many different styles are covered that I had a hard time deciding which was my favorite, but I love feeling like I got advice from a variety of designers. If you aren't sure what kind of curtains or blinds will go with your room, get this book!
