If you’ve got a nice, sunshiny yard, why not gussy it up a little with one of the contemporary curtain ensembles that decorators now call, window treatments? I found Creative Publishing’s guide to be insightful and a true resource, it’s good even with the basement windows that my X put inwhile trying to give a basement woodshop some natural light, but on the other hand nosy neighbors mean that you have to have some cloth over the glass.
Whether your view overlooks a garden in the country, or St. Patrick;s Cathedral in the city, you’ll want a book like this here “More Creative Window Treatments” so you can look at the color photos and decide for yourself, and for your family, which setting would look nicest. And then the book gives you complete instructions for how to sew it together yourself. Or perhaps you can enlist the assistance of the birds and mice Disney’s Cinderella used to help her whip together her gown!

This book is okay but limited in window ideas. I was looking for formal swags and jabots and it didn’t have any.

While this book does have a few pictures, they seem quite old. The one or two items I liked didn’t have any instructions for. If you are not a sewer, than this book is not for you. I found the book very confusing – definitely written for the person with sewing background. Sorry.

This was one of three books I purchased on window treatments; I turn to this one for advice and direction. Step by step directions with pictures on such topics as installing hardware, including hanging a mounting board, to the basics of sewing. Great ideas for rod pocket curtains and custom shades. I used it to create two different window treatments, scarf swag and shoji-style screen. Each project tells you how to measure and materials required. Due to the great instructions, both treatments turned out very professional!!
