But no, I'm supposed to measure up (using some calculation I'm bound to get wrong), then go out and buy the material myself - then they'll do a bit of sewing, and charge me an arm and a leg for the privilege.
The prospect of measuring up, and then traipsing round somewhere to buy material paralyses me with boredom - I literally can't summon up the motivation to do it.
I think I'll take the curtains with me to a shop, and just tell them to make up something similar - what a palaver! |
I thought they came to the house with samples, and you picked a fabric. A few weeks later the new curtains are up and you pay the (not insubstantial) bill!
