Please help me find some pink blackout curtains for a patio door in DD's room

[FrazzledFairyFay]

My 3 year old DD's new room has a patio door. I desperately need to find some reasonably priced blackout curtains to fit it.

I would prefer pink, possibly gingham or spots. I really don't want to pay made-to measure prices so if I can find any readymade then that would be a great help. The measurements are 250cm wide (98") by 215cm drop (84")

Does anyone have any suggestions where I could look online?

Many thanks

do you know anyone who is any good with a sewing machine??

I got a HUGE roll of blackout lining on ebay really cheap. my MIL made ds's curtains using it. but you could always buy curtains and just get someone to stitch int he lining for you?

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Do they hang properly if you just stitch the lining in? My Mum has a sewing machine, so she could probably help me do it.

There's no stitching required - I bought ready made curtain linings made of blackout fabric for my dc's rooms. They come with heading tape and you just hook them onto the curtain hooks with the curtains so they all draw together. Any shop with a haberdashery deaptment should sell them.

not sure they do the ready made ones that big though/??

Boyes in York does!

Also Dunelm Mill. Although its good to have double the width of curtain fabric for the window space (i.e. with a window of 250cm wide, you need two curtains, each 250ish cm, gathered to 125cm each) but blackout linings don't need to be anything like double - if they are you won't be able to draw the curtain coz they're thick and heavy. HTH.

That is all SO helpful, I'll look into those options. Thanks so much
