5.0 out of 5 stars Curtains for Dummies!!!, August 31, 1999
This review is from: Practical home decorating: curtains & shades (vol. 1) (Hardcover)
As someone who has sewn 2 Halloween costumes in her life and only knows the basics of sewing, I found this book extremely helpful and easy to follow. The author gives step by step instructions for 10-12 different projects along with a crash course in the elements of style that enable a more daring decorator to create something unique. These are fully lined, full-sized curtains and roman shades - no 1980's swags and poofs here. Good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Home Decorating Curtains & Shades, October 31, 2001
By 
This review is from: Practical home decorating: curtains & shades (vol. 1) (Hardcover)
I was trying to make Roman shades and none of the patterns or phamplets in the fabric store helped. I borrowed this book from a friend in PA and I just finished my shades. The directions were concise and easy to follow for any level seamstress. I have just ordered my own copy as I think I'll now tackle french pleated curtains for my newly refinished living room. With the help of this book, I'm pretty confident I can do it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for beginners, April 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical home decorating: curtains & shades (vol. 1) (Hardcover)
This book gives you a lot of ideas, especially if you're a beginner. I found the instruction simple to follow and the instructional pictures, unlike drawings, are very helpful. This book is great for the first time sewers like my self; however, no fancy projects included in this book.
