Hi,
I have a large window that I can't get readymade curtains for and if I was to get get them made it works out quite dear. Someone suggested that I get 2 sets of readymade and sew them together as they'll hardly ever be pulled and that a join wouldn't be that noticeable anyway.
But what I need to know is sizes if there's an expert out there - the window is 123inch wide so I suppose allow another 16 inches (8 either side of the window for the pole etc). So say its 140 inches wide what size curtains would I need to buy in order that when they're sewn together they fit when pulled etc. Would 2 sets of 55inch curtains be enough or would I need wider?
