this is very boring, but if you live alone and you're a bloke you may find this very handy.
I bought some curtains 2 years ago for my new house. as a bloke I didn't bother to measure the window, just plodded off down to the curtain shop and bought some that may have fitted they did, well sort of, they where well too long, but it didn't matter, it's fashionable for curtains to drag on the floor by about 3 feet
anyway I decided to wash'em today, and I couldn't be bothered waiting for them to dry. Label said 'Do not tumble dry' so I tumbled dry'ed them and now thay fit perfectly who needs to know how to sow when you've got the magic of a tumble dryer

you could of course have used wonderweb. ikea put it in with their curtains for you to use, which is thoughtful.

no, you iron it on. turns up trousers in about a minute, from cutting it to fit to ironing. you use a wet cloth between the iron and material folded over the wonderweb, its kinda like a steam heatweld i suppose. fairly permanent if you do it right. works for me!

It only involves putting a hot iron flat down. no need to get rid of creases.sisxbeforedawn wrote:aha! I see the flaw in your enlightening way.

Best I could do.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

I find that painting the inside of the windows black negates the need for curtains. Hammerite does the job well. Watercolours tend to fade after a while.
Next week I'm going to scratch some bullet-hole shapes in the paint for the sun to shine through. Should be great.
