Cost of having curtains made, Dublin

Jellybaby1 · 18-03-2017 01:57AM #1

I've been shopping for new curtains, Duffy's, Hickey's, and Material World. I'm finding the cost is way beyond my purse. I can make curtains for the smaller windows but I can't manage the bigger ones myself. My windows are 10ft - 15ft wide, some are ceiling to floor drop. Any suggestions of other shops or curtain makers I could try in or near Dublin please.

I'll move this question to crafts now as there's no response here at the moment.

I got curtains in Ikea, their lengths are very long. I had two pairs sewn together, and had them French pleated, and they're fab. Some of the curtains aren't great quality, but I was lucky enough that one of the better quality pairs was exactly the colour I was looking for.

Could I ask how much it cost to have them sewn together?

It was €80 I think altogether, I had them taken up, turned upside down, French pleated and sewn together. I'd imagine the bulk of the labour was in the French pleating though, but it looks great!

You could also try guineys for ready mades

€80 might be do-able depending on the cost of the ready mades. I'll definitely keep it in mind, thanks. I never thought of Guiney's, thanks.
