5.0 out of 5 stars UP TO DATE, 3 Dec 2007
By J. Mackness (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really like this book, for the main reason it's bang up to date, no overbearing stuffy swags and tails in here, just modern designs and materials which look liked they've just walked out of the pages of a 2007 edition of Ideal Home magazine. It takes the usual and turns them into the unusual. Inspirational pictures on how to top and head your curtains, and ideas on how to treat different types of windows, with easy to understand step by step guides to making them. There's ideas on choosing your best track or pole, measuring and estimating fabric and lists of exactly what you will need, with professional tips doted around to give you practical advice. The pictures are inspiring, modern and fresh. If your bored with the other books and sick to death of the old swag and tail, then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brillaint book!, 16 Aug 2008
I was looking for a book to give me clear step by step instructions on curtain and cushion making, that was contemporary in style and which would provide me with some inspiration too. This book exceeded my expectations.

Set out clearly in easy to use sections, this takes you step by step through the process of making blinds, curtains or cushions. Suitable for beginners or those wanting to try something more challenging. Top tips are suggested to give a professional finish too.

I am not a complete novice but it had been a long time since I had attempted anything so I wanted to go back to basics and achieve a good result. I surpassed my expectations and was able to make a fab set of curtains, some cushion covers and I am now planning my next project!

There is useful information for calculating fabric quantities and a glossary at the back in case you don't know (or have forgotton) the terminology!
