[VAL] RE: window awnings



Hi John, I got some outdoor canvas at the fabric store and sewed them up
myself. I took a piece about two inches wider than the window, and 8 inches
longer. I took the 8 inches, which hung over the bottom of the window and
folded it up to make a pocket about 3 inches deep for the bottom of the
window to slip into. Then I just slip it onto the window and hold it on with
some plastic clips I got from the office supply store. They hold it on
securely, but gently, because I was worried about breaking the glass if I
used anything that held on too tight. I also put a little elastic loop at
the top corner of each awning and loop it around the arm that raises the
window, so if it blows off it won't blow away. So far they haven't blown
off. And they look pretty snazzy :-)
