It would be easy to make a curtain out of sheets, putting a rod through the top hem of the sheet and make a hem on the bottom to put some kind of rod or weights to hold it down. You could even make a few different ones to use for different seasons, moods, etc. Sheets can be an inexpensive way to shade and then just put it in the wash whenever it gets dusty from the wind blowing dust and dirt.Helpful Reply -
