Eh, not for me, but for somebody. Definitely don't buy it--get it from the library and see if anything appeals to you. Anyone who already has the skill level to sew won't need the "step-by-step directions", which are no more than 4 steps that are incredibly basic ideas.

Lots of basic, timeless, easy to sew curtains.
