I am an intermediate sewer (my projects include curtains, roman shades, pillows).

Add Style to Your Windows!

This covers all the details of measuring the window and deciding on style, fabric, etc. Learn to make standard drapes, swags, Austrian and Roman blinds, tie-backs and rosettes to dress your windows. The big color photos show lush room setting with handsome curtains. I used the book mostly to look at styles and fabrics, but for a sewer, this book has all the how-to you could want.
