Simply browse through the illustrations and choose the designs most appropriate for the windows you are dressing. Then choose the design details which complete the overall effect. The drawings can easily be photocopied for use on sample boards. To display colour and patterns, simply photocopy the chosen illustration onto clear acetate film and lay it over a fabric sample. Designs can also be combined by tracing different details onto the illustration of your choice. Or you can use an illustration as the basis for your own interpretation. However you use them, try and imagine the line drawings in three-dimensional fabric. The drawings are diagrammatic to help construction, but, after all, fabric hangs in softer, fluid folds. Then again, each fabric has its own look - silk with its glorious light play will look different from a crisp linen. To calculate fabric quantities, see 'The Fabric Quantity Handbook' for quick, easy-to-use tables. You will find some of the make-up techniques required here are explained in 'The Encyclopaedia of Curtains'.
