Help - I don't know if I have enough fabric to get curtains made for my bedroom.
I have found an absolutely gorgeous fabric which would be perfect for my bedroom, but it is ridiculously expensive. I have managed to buy some remnant lengths on Ebay for a more reasonable price, but the shortest piece is 238cm, and I need the curtains to be 198cm long. Is 238cm long enough to do hems top and bottom for a 198cm curtain? It is a heavyweight linen fabric.
Also, does anyone know how to calculate what width of fabric I will need for a certain length of curtain track - I don't want any bulky styles, probably just pinch-pleats. I'm finding a professional curtain-maker to make them up for me (I'm useless at sewing) but there's no point unless I have enough fabric.... I can't see any more on Ebay at the moment, and I'm hoping not to have to pay the full retail price for any extra.
