heading for double-sided curtain

not sure if this is the right forum, please move if not

my daughter has no room for a door in her bedroom so I am making a curtain for the doorway - the fabric she has chosen is loud and lovely for her room, but I can't live with it in the landing on a blearly morning, so I've backed it on the landing side with a more neutral material that I've already got.

above her doorway is a window and you can see the heading of the curtain through this so the heading has to be neat on both sides.

I usually put in buckram and hand sew double pleats for curtains, but this won't work on the window side.

I don't want to use eyelets as the only ones I have are plastic and left me with bleeding fingers when I did my son's curtains they were so awkward.

tabs won't run smoothly enough for her to draw the curtain on the (wooden) curtain pole. unless anyone has any ideas?

grateful for any other ideas for gathering and attaching to the pole?

curtain rings with clips on the bottom, from ikea?

'Frosting' the window with some sticky backed plastic stuff? (I did this on a window and it looks like the window was bought with it already done!). B&Q have some different choices of the window sticky backed stuff and it's not too bad on price.
