[Heidi Thorsen]

This book gives you detailed guidance on how to make many types of window treatments, from simple rod-pocket curtains to more complicated balloon shades and valances. There is a surprising amount of math involved to calculate the proper length and width of fabric necessary to create the desired look. But if you're handy with a sewing machine and you want custom window treatments without spending thousands of dollars, this is the book for you.

step-by-step patterns for classic window treatment styles.

Perfectly adequate book for basic projects. Simply has nothing useful to me with the specific project I am working on now.
