    Need to get curtains for living room window (130" x 72"). Want to get ready made with eyelets but seems to be impossible. Can't seem to get this width with that drop. Getting curtains made seems mad expensive. Am based in North Dublin so would appreciate any advice/recommendations.:D

    130" x 72" is not a standard size. Sew two 72" * 72" together, or buy made to measure.

    Harry Corrys have some curtains in a 130" width, but only in a 90" drop so you'll have to get them altered.
    as blindman already mentioned you could also get 2 sets and sew together but with this you'll need to ensure that the pattern at the top of the curtains is matching.

    Hi Foxyrose,
    My Mother makes curtains. She's quite good, probably cheaper than the shops, and can make any type of curtain. I'm not sure how busy she is; coming up to Xmas is the busiest time of year. But if you PM me I'll get you her contact details.

    The last readymade 132 * 90 that I've seen is hanging in my sitting room for the last 3 years. Do harry corry have them in eyelets.

    Ready made are generally not made in over 104 widths, you will not find them, especially in ring top. I was a manager in a curtain shop so I know of what I speak.

    As mentioned above the only option here if you do not want mtm would be to sow two pair of 78 x 72 together.

    If you were lazy and did not wish to sow, with ring tops you can run the pole through the last and first ring of two curtains to make them hang together without actually sowing them.

    Unless things have changed, the largest eyelets Harry Corry carry is 104 width and this is a rarity.
