5.0 out of 5 stars THE best book for making your own window treatments!, January 19, 2001

By

This review is from: Windows with Style: Do-it-yourself window treatments (Paperback)

This book is absolutely awesome for ideas and instructions. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert at sewing, this book has step by step pictures so you can see exactly where you need to be in your project. I made a 12 feet long soft cornice that came out absolutely beautiful (with welting that I made and all!) and up until then, my sewing experience was in Jr. High sewing class.

All the projects have complete step by step instructions and photos. There are lots of great ideas for just about any type of treatment you could want. You'll be re-doing all of your windows!

This book is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in saving a lot of money and making their own window treatments. I have yet to find any other book that even compares to this one.

This is the most comprehensive resource that I have ever found on window treatments. It covers all the aspects window treatments from start to finish. Provides many decorator tips that are easy to do to provide a professional look. If I had but one book for window treatments, this would be it.

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated, March 12, 2002

This review is from: Windows with Style: Do-it-yourself window treatments (Paperback)

The ideas in this book are almost laughable. The projects that are shown wouldn't even look good with different fabrics. If you are into lots of ruffles and pouffy things everywhere, then this is for you. If you are into simpler window treatments with exquisite fabrics that complement a room, this isn't for you.
