blackout curtains

In place of the odoriferous curtains, I bought fabric in a pretty pattern and sewed curtains from it. I attached them to the old blackout liners with velcro strips. It turned out looking very good, such that every time I look at it, I'm pleased with my accomplishment.

Light still leaks in a bit on the bottom sides and through the pinholes in the blackout fabric where the seams are. So I'm also thinking about how to improve it yet more.



After unbending/bending the track, and cutting it. That was difficult.
