Opinions on these curtains please

[lollypoppy123]

These lovely curtains are too long and unlined.

Would it be madness to buy them and try to take them up myself (no machine and limited sewing skills!) and buy and attach blackout lining? 😬

Also, what about the top slot thing - will they be a pain to open a close? I suspect these are designed for curtains that don't get so much use but these are for a bedroom and I'm desperate to make them work as they cost a fraction of made to measure! Can't find anything readymade that works for our space. 😕

Charming! What a lovely comment to make….not! Do you like hurting people’s feelings?

Lateral thinker, I like it.

Absolutely!
OP was asking about the top of the curtains , not the curtain material itself ( Which I think looks absolutely fine)

Probably the people bitching about stripes like things that the rest of us would think were in poor taste- but it’s Ill mannered to say so.

This is Mumsnet though, where petty jealousies abound- especially if someone is excited about something

How about those who like to critique put up pics if their curtains or blinds for us to judge?!😎

Necessary to say that, was it? Bit unkind to burst her bubble!

I like a 'chalet by the sea' vibe, they'd look lovely in my bathroom, where I've tried to recreate that seaside chalet look.

It's my little happy place.

A ticking strip curtain isn’t just a seaside look. These are perfectly ok. As long as they fit the room decor. That’s all that matters!

Ticking stripe!! Autocorrect!
