Check out discount retailers Check your neighborhood discount and second hand stores for textiles at a lower price. Choosing the textile you want your window treatments to be made out of provides you with the opportunity to find the perfect color, shade and and shape (length) you are looking for. If you don't know how to sew, make use of a local seamstress that wont charge you a lot of money to produce your window treatments to suit your needs out of the material you've got found.
