A guide to making curtains and blinds, from measuring-up and cutting-out to the finishing touches, enabling professional results within a limited budget. It explains in detail how to create over 35 projects, with easy-to-follow artworks and photographs of the finished effect, including simple unlined curtains, decorative pelmets, swags and tails, and simple no-sew curtains.
