Hi
I have a new blind on my kitchen window, and wanted a blind or just curtains on my back door..Its a new(ish) door, so i dont really want to drill anything on it..How do i go about doing something..My sister is good at these things, as they had a curtain on their door, not sure if she even did it herself..I dont want to ask her cos theyve done loads for me already ( fitted the blind(s), there were two)..Is it easy to make curtain one..Kitchen is all pink and cupcakey
I have seen some material online with cupcakes on, but not sure..Hope someone is good at this sort of thing , to give me some tips..Back door is looking lonely without anything on it lol

this one..Or the either one..lol..Just to cover the glass really
Do you sew?
Fitting a Portiere rod may be a little ambitious for you.
yeah i thought it would read easy, but not so easy at sewing it..I cant use a machine but i can try it at hand sew..I was useless at school, i never took the stuff in and got told off for doing so
Ask your sister to do it and pay her for it. It's not a big job but still it's her time. Maybe a tenner.
Get some curtain wire from screwfix or B&Q or similar.
Hand sewing will look a mess unless you are an accomplished seamstress which it doesn't sound like you are.
I was useless at needlework at school, can't use a machine either. But I have made simple curtains. It can't really get much easier, it's all straight lines! All you need is to hem it on each edge, with a slightly larger hem at the top to slide the curtain wire through. I am sure you could do it.:)
He suggested we give Graham Wynne a call as 'this kind of stuff is right up his alley', but sadly he's not one of my dear old friends and I don't have his number to hand (I also have a suspicion that the dandy fellow may have been attempting a joke at Graham's expense, but you can never tell with him.)
Not many people seem to know what they are, though
I think they are a brilliant invention myself
If you get a single ready made curtain, all you need to do is 'thread' it on, fix the pole and that's it.
Orangemaid, this is the one for you!
I needed to research one for myself, when I got a curtain for my own door - which is made of UPVC and I also didn't want to make holes in it.
I think i might have to leave it now, as i have a wall recess and the blind will bang into it when the back door is opened ( fully)..Its in the wintertime when its darker at night i wanted it for, but have to see
We bought some of that window fablon and have put it on the glass panel. Got it from Wilkinsons I think.
The sheets are lightly patterened so there is a choice and it is easy to peel off if you don't like the effect.
You can still get the light coming into the room but people cannot peep through your window. Suits us fine.
