About Jennifer Thoden
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer all questions related to sewing window treatments... roman shades, window valances and drapes. I am glad to help troubleshoot a design or an issue with a project. I will not offer detailed instructions on exactly how to make a window treatment from scratch. I can also help with sewing home decor and quilting questions. Plus sewing techniques.

Experience
I run a sewing projects web site http://www.SimpleSewingProjects.com where members can enjoy step by step video tutorials on how to sew a project... learn sewing techniques... and print illustrated step by step instructions. The sewing projects range from window treatments, home decor, clothing, tote bags to fun projects. I've been running my online sewing publishing business for about 10 years. I also produce a weekly video podcast show called HowToSewWithJennyT.com showing viewers how to sew.
