Where can I buy curtains in Boston — besides the usual chain places? I'm looking for patterned or detailed contemporary curtains to dress three large windows in my bedroom. Thanks, AT Boston!
If you're looking for patterns on the more organic — dare we say feminine — side, Anthropologie is among our favorite curtain sources. Anyone have a suggestion that's outside the chain store realm?

If you can't sew you can always have some made by a local seamstress. If you buy the fabric yourself I can't imagine it would cost that much to have some made. Curtains are all straight seams and are one of the easiest first sewing projects out there!
I am with Monica on this one. I have priced cool curtains EVERYWHERE, and it is soooo much better to find a cool fabric, and sew them. The supplies section on Etsy typically has some great fabrics, and it is REALLY easy to make them.
Email me, and I can send you easy instructions on how to.
I've had great luck with buying printed sheets from places like Urban Outfitters or Marshalls and just sewing a straight line to create a pocket for a tension rod.
There's a fun tutorial on thepurlbee.com, too, for a fabric-to-curtain project.
A good source for fabric right now is the Fabric Place (Woburn and Framingham.) They're sadly going out of business, but are selling most fabric at 50% off (or more) and will likely be closed for good by November. They have/had a selection of modern/contemporary decorator fabrics. I just bought the remainder of a bolt of Amy Butler fabric to make curtains with. Online, a good fabric source is purlsoho.com
