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....
