DT78 – why would your made to.measure curtains be crap?
Oh and why does everybody want something for nothing nowadays?
As a professional curtain maker you lot are putting me out of business 😉
There’s a saying ‘you get what you pay for’.
The cheapest option is to buy some blackout lining (mine is £5.20 per metre to give you an idea.)
Cut it to window recess size, with extra for hems on sides and base, also extra for putting under a 1″ curtain tape.
Buy a cheap rail, top fix this and hang.
We didn’t even do that in our last house, we just hung the blackout piece from 2 screw hooks.
You don’t even have to hem the sides and base as blackout doesn’t fray.
