My husband would like me to make some lined curtains for the basement to
block out the sun. This is to avoid the reflection on the TV or computer
monitor. The windows are approximately 3 feet deep and 6 feet across. There
are two of them. Does anyone have a simple idea for this task?
Thanks,
Cindy Hutchison

I hate making curtains, but have made lots. I have more to make, as the
living room needs doing... :(

I made the simplest of window coverings for my back porch. I got
double-faced quilted fabric -- the kind with printed patterns on both
sides, not the tricot on one side. I put a casing top and bottom, and
hung them with wooden dowels. I used cup hooks to hold the dowels. I
put a second dowel at the bottom, and an extra pair of cuphooks so that
I could just lift the bottom dowel and hang it, leaving half the window
bare, for daytime and nicer weather.

I wanted the insulation from the quilting, but they block light very
effectively. Cozy!

When I was in my local JoAnn's, they had RocLon black out liner fabric,
that is what I use in my room since I sleep days. For other rooms
where we want to dim the light but not neccessarily black out, I bought
some inexepensive microfiber fabric at walmart and used that as a
liner.
