Why not just buy some blackout curtains? Wal-Mart has them at a very reasonable price...

I bought roman shades to put in my den and let me tell you they sure do darken the room. its great on a hot day keeping the sun out of the room. I have not idea what to use to line those with.. Sorry. Love the color though

Jo Anne and Hancock's have lining fabric that is blackout material. It comes in light and dark color (at least it did when I looked) and is 54" wide. It is not cheap though and I agree with MinnieKat.

I was going to, but we were there yesterday and I did not like the curtain selection at all, and anything in a fabric that was decent and that I actually liked... did not come in the black out or they were sheer... and they would come in one panel at $15 or more... but I saw these and I liked the fabric... and it comes with both panels...

I just used black knit fabric for my "black out" curtain in my Motor Home. It is soft and totally blocks out the light.

I have a friend who needs a room totally dark to sleep. She has drapes over her window, which she keeps closed, and behind that a flat black sheet has been folded over a suspension rod in the window frame. Does that make sense? So, the blinds hide it from the street and the drapes from the room view and she has three layers blocking her from the sun! This would be an inexpensive, no-sew fix (if, like her, you don't care to open those curtains!)

I did black out curtains out of dark bath towels. I sewed seam binding along the top edge and made loops to match the loops on the curtains and hung them behind the curtains on the rod. I figured I could just cut off the seam binding loops later and use the towels.

Why not just buy blackout curtains while you are at Target?
Target is where my g-daughter got blackout curtains for her dorm windows.

They surprisingly didn't have any... I might check the target that is closer to school... they might carry more...
