Lots of good information, but the designs were pretty dated. This book would probably be great for older people with very traditional tastes. But for younger folks who want cleaner, more minimal decor, this book would be a bust. I appreciate the work the author put into the descriptions and instructions, but wouldn't want to make any of these projects for my own home.

Useful section on making curtains for odd shaped windows and making goblet pleats

[Emily]

A good book with good information on making different kinds of curtains. I weeded through a big stack to find two that I liked. This one was okay.
