can anyone help me with where to get thick door curtains? we get a big draft from our front door and downstairs window and I really want to get organised and get it blocked out! Can sew if necessary but would prefer not to have to!

pigpen

rach.. try freecycle, ebay (for collection!!) and charity shops first. Failing them I'd get a thinner pair and stitch old bedsheets or blankets to the back! dunelm usually has them in but they are pricey!
