| Article Title :: How To Make No Sew Window Treatments |
| |
|
Not everyone wants to crack out the sewing machine to make some
simple window treatments. With the right products you can have a
professional looking window treatment without any sewing.
Before we jump right in, let me say that the no-sew method isn't
for everyone... and it's not for every window treatment. A no
sew method will use a web adhesive or fabric glue which is
permanent. So, there is no room for error.
With this in mind, use these instructions for simple unlined
kitchen curtains and valances. Or maybe a whimsical window
treatment for a child's room. Do not use a no sew method for
expensive lined drapes... silk anything... and any material that

good solution is to make some cards. Cards take less thinking
and time then doing a scrapbook page. And you can often get a

photographs, but also newspaper clippings, pamphlets, documents,
and other assorted items. Unfortunately, the impulse to save is

both detrimental and contrary to the collector's initial
intention of long-term preservation.

compiler, scrapbooks as a group exhibit some common
characteristics. Album and scrapbook pages are almost
universally made of poor-quality paper that deteriorates rapidly
and may become stained and embrittled with time.

Philadelphia was July 4, 1775. General Cornwallis surrendered at
Yorktown, Virginia on October 19, 1781, with the peace treaty
