bumping, anyone? TIA!

I recently purchased thermal drapes for my slider online from JC Penney's. I was surprised how lightweight they are. They seem more like lined drapes. Anyway, I don't thing they are meant to keep out drafts. They are meant to block sun in the summer, and help keep cold air out and warm air in. To block drafts, you are going to need weather stripping, door draft stoppers, and other things to seal the window. Mine is hung on a regular rod with clip rings.

You don't really need a pattern for this unless you want a fancy one that looks like a snake or wiener dog. I'm sure there are patterns on line or in pattern books for those. To make just a roll---=Measure your door and add 5 or 6 inches to the total. Cut a piece of sturdy fabric 8 inches x your measured length+ the extra. Sew the long end and reinforce it. You now have a 4 " tube. Sew one end closed again reinforcing it. Turn to the right side and push out the corners. Fill with non-clumping kitty litter to 1 inch of the top. Don't tamp it down. You don't want a solid lump so it won't conform to the door. Turn under 1/2 inch on remaining end and top stitch closed

Both of those cat draft stoppers are really cute. I made two draft stoppers years ago. I took pool noodles and cut them to length to fit our doors, then made a tube out of fake fur to go over them and tied the two ends shut. They aren't cute like those shown above, but they serve the purposed and were cheap enough to make.
