i've curtains that are very light, got rid of all my others and excess sheets etc, kept the linings but none of them fit the new curtains 66" by72", i have a spare set which i thought to sew onto the pair i've hanging, but before i do, does anyone have any other cheap option for me please.....

if anyone is interested ,i can give tips on how i made 3 built-in wardrobes/press/shelving for under €100, again with garden and shed trellis, revamped a garden wooden seat and garden table.

hi there a basic set of curtain lining ready to hang should only cost you around 20 euro n hickeys , they will be basic linong for this price but will do the job lovely for you . or to really keep cost down you could buy a cheap single duvet cover in plain cream or whatever and cut in 2 around the seams so you are left with front and back of the cover and each piece will be ideal for lining for each curtain . when you have them hemmed yo can just sew directly onto the curtain or you can add curtain tape to the new lining and use curtain hooks to attach so you have choice to unhook and wash seperately . can forward you some curtain tape if you want some
