Took some curtains in to the local cleaners ( that does alterations) to have them taken up. Basically lop 10 inches off the bottom and run a straigh hem along.
They charge £8 a metre :o :o :o It's a 2 minute job !!!!
Four 90" curtains ------ £72 :o :o :o Sheesh ... I'll get a stapler and do it myself !!!!!!!!

Cheaper to get new curtains!
I had a Fleece I liked, nothing special, just a medium quality Tog24 fleece, but a long length and windproof, quite unusual.
Quoted £40-50 to fix the zip.
So it went in the bin :'(

Cheaper to to buy new ones. Or just get Loo-knee to sort them. ;D ;D

That is what you can use on lighter curtains, but I have always found with heavier ones nothing beats good stitching with cotton and thread! ;) ;) And especially if lined :y :y
Doh! I meant to put thread and needle!! :D :D ;)
