CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Leaves much to be desired... -
I, like another reviewer, noticed many details and instructions missing. Diagrams provided were pretty worthless. Good photos of what a project might look like if you are an experienced sewer & can read between the lines of the written instructions for the missing details. Cannot recommend, leaves much to be desired.

Save thousands of dollars making your own shades -
This book was my primary reference while I made shades for 13 windows, saving thousands of dollars over having them made by a workroom. Not only did the book provide inspiration by use of many pictures, I found the instructions to be more than adequate.

Directions are difficult to follow -
I've purchased this book and have found that the directions are not at all easy to follow. Details are left out, and diagrams are few and far between. I wouldn't recommend it.
