The third revised edition of the Curtain Sketchbook is a comprehensive collection of quintessentially English designs for curtains. There are many new designs and an informative measuring section with sketches of various shapes of windows. The black line drawings are purposely kept simple so that the lines of the design can be seen clearly and for that reason also they are not coloured - colour can be added to the sketch at a later stage. Decorators and curtain makers find Wendy's books an important tool for their work especially when trying to explain certain window treatments to their clients. The sketches can be reduced to put on a sample board together with the chosen fabrics for the room scheme. The Curtain Sketchbook, along with Wendy Baker's other books, is used in many Interior Design Colleges and Degree courses in the UK and widely in America. The inspirational ideas take into account all kinds of windows shapes including those difficult ones, eliminating costly mistakes.
