5.0 out of 5 stars A great book which SHOWS YOU HOW TO MAKE Designer Curtains, 24 April 2001
By A Customer
I ordered this book by mistake when browsing for a book on curtain making. The pictures are clear and instructions are detailed. A really nice book which I will be happy to keep and recommend to my friends. If you are making your own curtains or soft furnishings it is a must have, professional looking curtains and a mine of information. If you want a book that shows you how to actually make designer curtains and soft furnishings and not a book with with just pretty pictures then this is the one to go for. You may have guessed already I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellant and informative book with clear instructions, 8 Oct 2000
By judithpratt@lineone.net (Nottinghamshire UK) - See all my reviews
As a tutor of soft furnishings at a local college I am always looking for new books both for my use and for recommendation to students. I find this book both interesting and informative with very clear instructions and diagrams. The styles range from simple to expert and are up to date in design. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to both beginners and experts as a good reference and learning aid.

This has to be a must have for all committed curtain makers. The instructions are clear and concise with superb step by step diagrams. Worth every penny.
