Making dolls house curtains is notoriously difficult if you want them to look natural. This book shows how to create fantastic curtains in a variety of styles to suit many periods. It gives really clear and concise instructions for every aspect from the materials needed to making up the individual curtains. Each step is outlined clearly and is easy to follow, with good explainatory photographs. In the book there are pages of patterns that you can photocopy and use as templates making life even easier. Curtains available include roller blinds, simple hangings, swags and tails, cafe nets and a whole host more.
Following the instructions I have managed to completely curtain my house and make some curtains to sell - which they have done and my customers have been more than happy with them. I like this book so much I am currently in the process of purchasing the whole set of Dolls House Do It Yourself titles.
