I am about to blow my life savings on an old wreck of a house and need to update everything on quite a tight budget, saving money wherever possible. We only own one pair of curtains as our old place had shutters/blinds everywhere, but I was reasonably adept with a sewing machine back in my school days, so I reckon I could run up a few pairs of curtains (please don't laugh at my naivety!)
I don't own a sewing machine and obviously don't have much spare cash to spend on one. Looking at the cheapest cheapy ones though, I don't know if they would work well with several layers of medium-weight fabric. I know my friend bought one of those colourful ones from John Lewis and said it wasn't up to much.
Down the line, I might branch out and make a few childrens costumes with it if I don't end up bashing it in with a big mallet after failing to make curtains...
What's the cheapest I can get away with that will do the job?
