New Curtains
I need to sew some new curtains. Sewing is easy for me so that isn't the issue. Part of having the beautiful woman in my life "Cat" is dealing with her cats. We have 3 of them in here with us. So far, it's going good. They like the window accessability and the changing scenery. I was hesitant but the cats travel well and with a simple modification the litter box issue isn't a big deal as it is in the storage area accessible by a small hole in the coach, and the outside access door.
Because cats are nocturnal these dudes like to sit in their window and watch the night time action. I haven't a clue what that is as it is as quiet as can be around here. Any type of blind will be destroyed in no time. Day night shades are not an option. The cats want to get between the curtain and the window at night, so, that is why curtains are my option.
All this to ask; Does anyone have experience with cat hair and fabric?
I use blackout shades on the outside because I want this place back inside (as well as outside) and then I use our accent colors for the inside panel. The blackout fabric holds the cat hair real tight. It's a pain as I have to remove the curtains and vacuum them. I'm looking for something that will give up the hair easier but, retain the blackout ability.
Being that summer is here in the desert I plan to sew the curtains more like a quilt to have them offer some level of insulation. Two layers of fabric, quilting batting inside and then long armed. I'll sew the hoops after.
Our coach is black on the outside BECAUSE we live in the desert. Just like the Bedouin Tribes of the Sahara we recognize the science behind the black color and intense sunlight. Black on the outside stays.
Thanks for your input on the fabric options.
