Childrens' curtains with a drop of at least 202cm????

I am struggling to find childrens' curtains with a drop of at least 202cm (width not an issue windows narrow but long). I would ideally like to order on-line but not spend a fortune as I need to buy two pairs. All the catalogues seem to stop at 182cm. I am not bothered about cartoon characters but just something that would suit little boys, rockets or something, would be great. Anyone got any ideas?

buy some fabric and have them made up if you can't make them yourself?

I think IKEA curtains are usually very long - I always have to cut loads off which make really good fabric scraps. They have started a service, so I heard, that you can phone them up with the catalogue number and for about £10 or so get whatever you want posted. I heard that but don't know the details, best bet would be to look here my boys have the Tassa Skog curtains which are longer than what you need, I made cushions with the remaining material.

I thought IKEA may be my only option (we bought DS1's curtains their in our last house, similar sized window), I didn't realise they would send stuff out, I'll have a word with DH he might want to go for a trip to IKEA (means he can go to Costco as it is next door ).

littlemissbossy, I'm trying to avoid having them made up because all our windows are outsized (old house) and need curtains specially made and I find generally it works out more expensive than buying ready-made and is more hassle, although usually a much nicer result, I hoped we could get away with ready-made for the kids' rooms.
