Plenty of nice fabric on the market but if you are ok with your existing curtains make linings for the winter with thermal fleece fabric and take them down in summer. Easy sewing job.

Captains Wench, you could buy lengths of fleece are previously advised, then just attached loops of velcro to the fleece and you then easily hang the lengths of fleece over the curtain poles with the velcro loops! Very easy to sew the loops on but you may also get away with using a haberdashery glue. Good luck.

Our curtains are quite thick and lined. It is amazing how much warmer the room is when we close them. If we felt the need for more insulation at the windows this is exactly what we would do. Slip some thermal fabric between curtain and lining fixed with velcro or even large safety pins. Remove it for the rest of the year.
