DECORATING To the growing list of how-to books on curtains and blinds (e.g., Yvonne Rees's Quick and Easy Curtains and Blinds, LJ 1/96, and Carol Parks's Complete Book of Window Treatments and Curtains, Lark, 1994), Luke brings her expertise as head of a soft furnishings school. She begins each book with clear, well-illustrated instructions on basics such as sewing techniques, measuring, equipment, and set-up. She then proceeds with directions for the simplest treatments unlined curtains and roller blinds continues with more complicated designs such as interlined drapes and Austrian blinds and concludes with embellishments and decorations. A glossary and care instructions are also included. Missing are illustrations of the various hardware used for curtain and shade hangings that is included in Parks's book, which prevents these books from being truly comprehensive. Still, these are solid additions where more window treatment instruction books are needed.-

Vanessa explains how each of her collections was developed, and what inspired her designs, but if you prefer to choose your own material, there is plenty of advice on selecting fabrics, using color, cutting out, matching pattern repeats, piping, and hand-stitching, as well as a techniques section covering the basic sewing skills you will need. Guidance on measuring for curtains and shades, and on ways to hang them, as well as instructions for valances and an upholstered cornice, make this a complete introduction to sewing your own window treatments, and more. Previously published as The Home-Sewn Home, this new edition includes four completely new projects and inspirational photography featuring Vanessa’s most recent fabric collections throughout.
