Window Treatments are the Easiest Way to Dress Up Your Home

 What are "window treatments?"

Window treatments are any type of window "fashion" that allows you to dress up your room, provide privacy at your windows, and compliment your furniture and decor in your room.

Window treatments can be:

• Drapes
• Cafe curtains
• Sheers
• Shades
• Roman Shades
• Swags
• Cornices
• Valances

Making your own window treatments allows you to design the windows the way you like them.  By making the curtains or drapes, etc. yourself, allows you to personalize your room to your taste.

Another important factor in making your own window dressings is cost.  Making your own is far less expensive than buying ready made ones in a department store.

Within the follow pages, I will help you learn how to make simple curtains, cafe curtains, roman shades and window scarves.

If you are a beginner sewer, start with the more simple projects such as simple curtains or cafe curtains.  Then as your confidence grows, stretch your sewing abilities and attempt more difficult projects.

The personal satisfaction you will get out of making your own window dressings will be well worth the effort.

So, have fun and happy decorating!
