Although there are many fabric options for a Window Warmer these are some chosen fabrics that we feel work well and cover a wide range of tastes. Included here is all the information about the fabric, specifically the price per yard. If you don't see anything you like here check out the "Fabric Vendor" tab for other fabric options or, if you live near Madison, stop into the store and look through our extensive fabric library.
Not all fabric is workable as a Window Warmer fabric. Look for fabric with a fairly tight weave. Poly-cotton blends and preshrunk cottons with wrinkle-resistant finishes work well. Material with body is easier to work with than a lightweight blouse or shirt-type material. If you will be piecing a patterened fabric together, actual drapery fabric will make pattern matching easier.
We suggest that you DO NOT make Window Warmers with:
Loosely woven fabrics
Stretchy fabrics
Foam-backed or Rubber-backed fabrics
Pre-quilted fabrics
Chintzes
Heavily napped fabrics such as velvet or corduroy
Horizontal stripes, plaids, or fabrics with
a distinct horizontal grain - for shades over 3 feet wide
Many fabric vendors will usually allow you to order a Memo (small sample) of a fabric for you to see how it looks - color and weave.
There can be a charge for Memos if they are not returned to the vendor in a timely manner.
NOTE: These prices are "price per yard" of the designer fabric ONLY. This price is NOT the price of a completed Window Warmer.
