Very Wide Curtains

Hi All,
My first post here and I'm not very knowledgeable about these things so bear with me.

I have a big window in the living room and I need some curtains but I need them to be
142” (360cm) wide for the pair with a 64” (163cm) drop, and they should have a tab top

I can’t find any anywhere and the only places I can find who will make them want an awful lot of money to make them. I’ve trawled the internet for hours but to no avail.

I am no good with a sewing machine so cobbling them together is out and I’m on carers allowance so can’t afford to shell out a lot

Does anyone have any ideas what to do so I can keep what hair I’ve got left?

Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Have you considered buying 2 sets of narrower curtains so you have 4 in total to cover the width, 2 on each side.

    That's what we've had to do for our windows. Looks OK:)
