Our grommet curtains were a little bit too perfect. When the buyers put in an offer on our home, they added a contingency that the sale include our curtains! Do you think they knew they were DIY?
In the end, I convinced DH to let the curtains go, but I can't say, 10 months later, that I don't miss them!
I won't bore with you the DIY-details, you can find the directions here.

Dollars and Cents:
10 panels took 3 days to sew and I ordered the panels at separate times in order to maximize the discount.
Hardware: same
Fabric: Panels- 30 yards, with a coupon for a total $871.50 (No liner--Fabric is thick and keeps its shape.)
Sewing Machine: Already own one!
Misc: Thread and Grommets $80.00 after 50% off coupon
Savings: $1,298.50; Based on the quote we received for our Spring/Summer curtains, this project would likely have cost us an estimated $450 a window--labor and the heavy fabric. Winner!
