I'm certainly not an expert, but I have made curtains before. In my experience, the best thing is to get a reasonably heavy material so that you get a nice drape and make sure it doesn't crease too easily in case it gets a chair or something pushed up against it.
If you are going to buy material in a sewing/knitting shop, it's worth asking them for advice. If your buying on ebay it tends to be listed as material which is suitable for curtains. If you do end up choosing a lighter material, you can always line it.
