5.0 out of 5 stars Window Treatments & Slipcovers For Dummies, Feb 13 2006

By Design Lover - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Window Treatments and Slipcovers For Dummies (Paperback)

I bought this book on the strength of Mark Montano's work on While You Were Out and it's fantastic! So many adorable projects, and most of them are super easy and you don't even have to know how to sew well. You can use glue guns or safety pins and still get a really nice, professional look.

There were things for kids' rooms too, which I really loved. I made a window treatment for my cousin's bedroom in one afternoon! Great
book. Good job, Mark and Carly!!

5.0 out of 5 stars You really Can Do it yourself, Nov 17 2008

By A. Clinton "lucywench" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Window Treatments and Slipcovers For Dummies (Paperback)

With the help of this book I was able to make a pair of roman shades for my guest bedroom and I must say they turned out pretty darned good. I'm going to tackle a slip cover for my wing chair next!

The directions are straightforward and easy to understand. They also help identify those projects that are easy for a beginner as well as ones that take a bit more sewing knowledge. Good book to add to your DIY library.

By Peggy Magrady - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Window Treatments and Slipcovers For Dummies (Paperback)

This was given to my daughter, who wanted to learn to make slip covers and curtains. I went thru the book and found it to be good with detail about making the different items. I found this book easy to follow.
