Sounds boring I know....but thought it may be a temporary escape from you know what?. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what I can do to some curtains I’ve spoilt. I washed blackout curtains. I did the first pair on a 40 degree short wash. When I got them out, the lining at the back was stuck to itself, and in trying to release it, I damaged it, and now it’s letting chinks of light in. For the second pair, I read the label. It said to dry clean only?. It was going to cost about £30 upwards for this, for each curtain. So reading up on it, I could do a delicates wash, which I did for the second pair. All was going well, until I left them to be ironed, folded up, and then the same thing happened with the lining. I don’t mind buying new one if I have to, still probably cheaper than dry cleaning, and they’d be new. I would like to save them if I can. Make do is what my granny always said?. I’ve tried using a blackout pen on the backs, all to no avail. I’ve thought of paint maybe, but was wondering if there are any seamstresses out there who could advise, or anyone who perhaps has done the same thing. What did you do. Thanks ladies.
