    Have you got a Dun Elm Mill near you? They do fab curtains, ready made or will make to fit your windows. Loads to choose from and really very plush but not too dear.
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Agree with the comments on DunElm - great choice of fabrics. Can add to this by suggesting - do you know any friends who can sew? - much cheaper to pay them to make the curtains than to pay a shop... If you have't got a Dunelm, try your local market if you have a good one. My sister-in-law got some lovely quality fabric from St Albans market and had curtains made up for a fraction of what it would have cost to buy them.:)

    Ditto the Dunelm suggestion. Also Fabric Warehouse seem pretty good, you can pick up some good deals on roll ends etc too.

    Hardly likely to help anyone in the UK as that appears to be an American website.

    Yes, 66" = width, 72" = length
