From the Back Cover
Make Your Own Curtains & Blinds is filled with expert practical advice on the many ways to dress-up or dress-down a window. Illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout, this delightful book covers how to evaluate the windows in your home, choose the correct curtain tracks or rods, heading tape or fabric. It also shows how to measure and make up curtains and accessorize them with pelmets, valances, swags and tails, tie-backs, bows and rosettes. Blinds offer infinite scope as an alternative to curtains, and are often the solution to decorating awkwardly shaped windows. They can easily be incorporated into the overall decoration of a room to evoke the effect you wish to create. Make Your Own Curtains & Blinds will act as a constant source of inspiration and you will soon be able to camouflage an ugly window, enhance a beautiful one, create a mood in any room and, above all, reflect your individuality with effective window dressing.
