design and make curtains and drapes
This a good beginners book.It gives a lot of good basic instructions.The pictures and directions are clear and easy in understand.And although it does seem to focus a bit on hand sewing instead of the machine, there is no reason why you can't use either one to make your curtains.I especially like the large full color photos of the finished products.

Okay for Basic Curtains
This book was okay for examples of basic drapes without valances.Emphasis was on hand sewing techniques instead of machine sewing. I can't speak for the reader of this review but I use the machine for practically everything. Also, not much instruction or examples of decorativeembellishments which lift a drape from bland to something special.Bottomline:Okay if you wish to make simple drapes (by HAND) withoutswags, jabots, valances, etc.If you are looking for something more --purchase another book. ...
