Quote: Not conventional but living in Texas it gets HOT...and its even hotter in South Texas than other places...I made curtains and put car window shades inside them - so the back is the same as the front but the silver shield you put up to keep the heat out of your car is sandwiched between. You can't see it and it really works! All but 1 of my window's have that.....so if they are looking to keep out light or heat - this worked for me!
This sounds like what we need. Do you sew the curtain over a pre-made car sun shade or buy the shade fabric by the yard? If so, where can we get it? I tried a search but wasn't able to find yardage...maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing?
I bought the pre-made shades...I got them at Dollar General for about $3.00 each - which was way cheaper than buying something like that by the yard...you can't tell that they are in there except on one side of my son's curtains where I used white fabric and the only time you can see then is if the sun is pouring right in the window....
