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.

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