I'm a keen needlewoman, I almost always use blackout linings when I make my curtains - I first used them in my son's bedroom when he kept waking up too early and wouldn't go to bed until it was dark. For best effect though, you need to have curtains which are wider and longer than they really need to be - otherwise the light can creep round the edges. In my new bedroom/garage conversion I bought some blackout blinds instead, professionally fitted, but they let in far more light than the linings. Blackout blinds can be bought fairly cheaply from places like B&Q, the quickest and easiest solution.
