Thermal lined curtains

[Phoenix4725]

Ok I need some help please my lounge has 2 sets of french doors opposite ends and a large window ,as well as glass door and full window in the hall next to it and omg brings new meaning to the words cold front !!

THere all going need a 90 inch drop and one set plus the window is 6 foot width.the other is older style doors and is 8 foot width .Hall and door is 7 foot width
But need some cheap but decent thermal curtains up .Do not use door in hall so can be covered ,Bloddy house has more doors than anyone can use

so any advice please

Blackout linning keeps the draughs out or you can use interlinning.

BLackout lining is also thermal but I think interlining is warmer. More expensive though, as obviously you need that sewn behind the lining so more work.

I have interlining in our curtains...MIL hand made them for us. They also seem really think and luxurious.

I consider them an investment...like losft insulation. They really do amke a diffeence to the warmth of the house, and we have double glazing.

Thank you
Hmm guess going to have to hunt round for somewhere that sells it .I'm a stich split seems in school pants kinda person and that's about my limits but do know need to do something for the lounge otherwise oil costs going to be high

I've never done it myself but I've heard of someone buying cheap fleece from Ikea and then cutting to size and sowing onto back of curtains. I suppose if you bought a neutral colour it could look okay as most curtain backs I notice are cream or white. I might actually try this myself for next winter.

I bought Laura Ashley material & went to a local haberdashery shop for advice about lining. They suggested black-out material. I asked the lady behind the counter about getting them made up (because the material is a bit stretchy & I knew I might mess it up). She said 'Bring in your material & I'll make them for £30!' It was well worth it, she did a classy job.

wow please tell me was East herts dont think seen haberdashery anywhere near here that be best soloution not worried about the fleece have horses as neighbours one side and truck driverx coming and going other side lol be just my luck one of them be a interior design critic

oh and if you happen to be on either the Cambridge train fromn London or Stansted express and see my mismatched curtains feel free to wave

Amazing difference since we changed to interlining we had blackout lining before but interlining has made such an amazing difference.
