[quote=Anonymous]I made curtains for my son's room. That fabric is pricy, IMO ($17/yard) -- I think you can cut some costs there if you want to. Lining with blackout increases the weight of the curtain so you can get away with a less heavyweight fabric. I used quilting fabric from equilter.com, which has an enormous range of patterns. You can get grommets on amazon. Instructions on the package: http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-16-Inch-Diameter-Curtain-Grommets/dp/B0016ZZS32/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430676119&sr=8-1&keywords=curtain+grommets Those would be if you want to thread the grommets directly on to the curtain rod. Make sure to measure to ensure the rod will slide through the width. They come in a few different finishes (black, white, metallic ...). Be sure that the blackout lining also lines the part where you insert the grommet (so the grommet should go through two layers of curtain fabric and one of blackout. That will help to strengthen where the grommets are inserted.[/quote]
