Frustrated- Searching for thermal lined kids curtains-not commercial

You can buy the thermal lining - by the metre in various widths - at Spotlight and add it to any fabric you like.

Sounds frustrating. Could you go to a specialist curtain / blind shop (you know the ones who'll do the whole in-home measure, quote, make & install kit & caboodle) and just ask what material they have available and whether you can buy it direct from them to make yourself? Surely they have access to more styles & colours?

Dunno, what a PITA.

That's what I did when I made curtains for my old house. It just means the curtains are 2 layers not 1. I even unpicked the decorative curtain of DS's curtains and replaced it with a different one.

Yeah, i saw the thermal lining at Spotlight. it was around $15 / metre. this is same price as the material i like and also the disney thermal lined material. Still keeping it as a possibility, but it doubles the price of the curtains overall to around $320 (instead of $160) just for the fabric.

I found another curtain shop that will sell material direct, but they have to order it in. Will have to go down to check out range and prices.

If they're going to work out at $320 you'd probably be better off seeing what Dollar Curtains can do.

I found some thermal lining (100% block out) for just $7.50/metre at a local shop. Think i am going to get this, and the good patterned material from Lincraft.

thanks

did you join the two layers either at the sides or the bottom? or do you have two layers joined at the top and hemmed separately at sides and bottom?
