Huge eyelet curtains

sooz

(That would be huge curtains with eyelets, not HUGE eyelets)

I am after some nice ready-made lined eyelet curtains sized 108 by 108 (or 274 by 274cm)

In brown or cream or a mixture of both, but not garish. All I keep finding are the same ones that look like flock wallpaper or christmas crackers.

Has anyone seen any nice ones, or can you recommend somewhere not enormously expensive to have them made?

Thanks

I got a pair in Argos, lined burgundy velvet, 30 quid in their bargain bucket - didn't notice the eyelets til I got it home, but it looks great

If you've got a TJ Hughes near you they often sell them in a suede fabric at a reasonable price in browns and creams so worth a look there. Not sure if they do them online though.

Roseby's (sp?) is another reasonably priced shop, as is Harry Corry(sp?) if you have one of those too, to have a look in.

Or at the dearer end of the scale have you tried Debenhams? They would be worth a look too especially during sales which I think they have one on now.

I got some lovely curtains from Debenhams albeit not ones with eyelets in them for £20 a pair for 90x90ins reduced from over £100 so well worth a nosey.

Good luck

Surprisigly, B & Q do quite a good range of eyelet curtains and reasonably prices also. Or if you have a Dunelm near you they do curtains and I believe you can order online as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have looked at them online, but the problem I am still having is finding the correct length.

In most places the standard longest size seems to be 90, even in John Lewis, Debenhams, Dunelm etc.

I have, however, found loads I like in 90x90 :mad: Why don't they make them any longer?

It's a pain isn't it, I've had that problem. Google "long curtains" and a few online companies come up saying they do longer lengths.

I can just about sew a straight line, but then get stuck when it comes to lined curtains. I don't want to risk it on curtains that cost a lot in the first place!

I think I will try to find some not hideously expensive made to measure ones. For some reason really large curtains only seem to come in lurid fabrics. :mad:
