The Secrets of Making Classy Curtains
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 colorful photos are quite large (unlike the cramped decorating pictures squeezed into the magazine) and sometimes even a double-page spread. The photo captions explain the decorator's ideas, use of color, framing a view, etc. plus ...

Design & Make Curtains & Drapes

design and make curtains and drapes
This a good beginners book. It gives a lot of good basic instructions. The pictures and directions are clear and easy in understand. And although it does seem to focus a bit on hand sewing instead of the machine, there is no reason why you can't use either one to make your curtains. I especially like the large full color photos of the finished products.
