Good, although I found diagrams a little confusing for an inexperienced sewer - By: Victoria M, 27 Oct 2008 
As the other reviewers say, this is a good book. It has inspirational pictures & ideas & descriptions of how to measure & make blinds & curtains for windows & also cushions. I have found some of the diagrams & descriptions a little difficult to follow, which is why I have given it 4 stars, but I am an inexperienced sewer.
Brillaint book! - By: Pickles, 16 Aug 2008 
I was looking for a book to give me clear step by step instructions on curtain & cushion making, that was contemporaryin style & which would provide me with some inspiration too. This book exceeded my expectations.
Set out clearlyin 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 & achieve a good result. I surpassed my expectations & was able to make a fab set of curtains, some cushion covers & I am now planning my next project!
There is useful information for calculating fabric quantities & a glossary at the backin case you don't know (or have forgotton) the terminology!
The book you need for blinds!! - By: KA, 07 Apr 2008 Love this book!!. It has very clear instructions on Roman blinds, which I have felt most useful. Also, a good directory on supplies for the amateur so sourcing materials is much easier - e.g. corded track sytems. Also bought their encyclopedia but find this the most up to date & inspiring.
UP TO DATE - By: J. Mackness, 03 Dec 2007 I really like this book, for the main reason it's bang up to date, no overbearing stuffy swags & tailsin here, just modern designs & materials which look liked they've just walked out of the pages of a 2007 edition of Ideal Home magazine. It takes the usual & turns them into the unusual. Inspirational pictures on how to top & head your curtains, & 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 & estimating fabric & lists of exactly what you will need, with professional tips doted around to give you practical advice. The pictures are inspiring, modern & fresh. If your bored with the other books & sick to death of the old swag & tail, then this is the book for you.
