Re: Curtain Etiquette
I couldn't decide either so when I made new curtains I lined them with the same fabric ...
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will p.iss off enough people to make it worth the effort

Re: Curtain Etiquette
The most important thing to do is close the bloody things before you start any personal goings on,some in the past have forgoten

And make sure they are not "see-through" when the interior lights are on!

Re: Curtain Etiquette
We have the thick lining as a core, and then a pattern on either side! That way everyone can enjoy the pretty pattern!

Re: Curtain Etiquette
I've got the original westie curtains which have wires top and bottom as standard for the side windows. I'm not bothered about privacy, but I do like my curtains to keep the daylight out in the early morning.

Re: Curtain Etiquette
We had tint thermal blinds and curtains, no ones seeing in . And all lining is supposed to face outwards.
Sounds like a golf

Wish you'd posted this had last Monday..
I pretended I could sew & made a set for my van last week. Had to do a bit of research (aka Google & Van Mags) to see what was deemed right/ wrong when it came to hanging.
Hung 'em on wire (top only for now) Lining outwards.
Thanks!

Re: Curtain Etiquette
buy fabric that looks the same upside down, that way just measure the drop, double it add 8 inches [for 2 inch turns all round] and just make one big square, fold in half and sew the heading tape half inch down from the fold....that way you have a self lined curtain. If you buy the right weight of fabric, not only will they hang down better they will be much better at keeping the heat in.
