An ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL if you plan to sew your own curtains! Step by step guide, photos detailing every inch of the way, details on how to measure, what supplies are needed, best materials for the style you want, etc. Seriously, I wouldn't attempt to make your own without either a) enrolling in a course or b) reading this book. Check it out from the library and it is free!
