Where can I purchase blackout curtains?

[milkyman]

We have a long narrow window 60 x 182cm - having trouble sourcing for this. Already have blackout blind.

You should be able to buy blackout material per metre really cheaply in any material shop. Tis what I've always done for odd shaped windows.

Argos sell blackout lining that you can just hook into the curtain itself.

Thanks, can I be stupid and ask how you would fix to window - no good at sewing!.

I buy the material (online or any material shop - Dunelm, Terrys Fabrics online) and sticky back velcro cos sewing them leaves little pinholes that let in light. Put one side velcro on window frame , other on material - job done. One of my kids was always awake early so I velcroed all the way round the material. Total darkness, great.

Msg above is about curtain fabric

Sorry, yes you want curtains. Try buying from www.myfabrics.co.uk/blackout-curtain-fabrics.html
use the iron on hemming web. put your curtain pole through the top. Made-to measure is an option too.

this may be what you are looking for. They're brilliant

Like someone said above you can get blackout fabric by the metre on eBay. This could then be sewn into the back of existing curtains or you could use bulldog clips to hold the lining up temporarily. If you are feeling extravegant Curtains Made Simple have a reasonable choice of kids fabric.
