Customer Reviews

A curtain making course for everyone
I thought curtains were dull squares of material. I was wrong this book really shows you how you can make the window of a roon a centre piece and show off your work at the same time. It starts simple and by the end you are tempted to try embroidery. There are easy to follow diagrams and even a basic skills section so anyone can give it a go.

Packed with ideas it will inspire you, curtains mean so much more now. So whether it is blinds, tiebacks, lightweights, lined, interlined, tab top, bindings, borders, etc. this book has it all so give it a go.

steer clear
Not worth my money, unless you like pretty picture and no info how to make the curtains. Look elsewhere. I DID buy the book, unfortunately.

Not for beginers
I bought this book thinking that it would help me as a first time curtain maker. It may be good for getting ideas, but it tells you to do things, without actually telling you HOW to do them. I found good instructions for curtain making on the web without actually using the book at all, so ended up returning it.
