Question

What kind of fabric can I get for privacy and lets light in to make window treatment?

Answer 1

you can have a sheer panel that will let the light in, but not sure if that would be enough privacy.

you can also try muslin, its very inexpensive (from $0.99 to $4.99/yard) and easy to work with.

Check out IKEA or a Joann's for fabrics. there's plenty to choose from.

Answer 2

I would suggest to put up window blinds for privacy, then you can use any kind of fabric you wish to use. You would be able to open the blinds when you wish and close them for privacy! Good Luck!

Answer 3

i like the idea of having wax paper on the window, it lets in light, but no one can see you because its all traslucent.

you could get blinds and put up whatever curtains you want, the blinds will keep the curtains from fading quickly versus direct sunlight.

or if you dont want to put up blinds, you could just go with straight up gauzey type curtains. they let lots of light in but people cant see through them
