I was thinking of using Barkcloth and a UV protected fabric for the outside. I sew, so this should be a fun project. Duck cloth? Or a medium weight quilt fabric?
I'm going to place reflective panels in the shuttle windows to decrease heat load.

I actually bought black out drapes from Kohls and used that as the fabric. I was looking for a lighter grey for the cab curtains and a darker grey for the house/bedroom. Couldn't find any material that matched nicely, so I figured drapes would work and already be lined. It worked well. They are starting to show a bit of "pulling" in places. Go with a sturdy material, not something that has a weave-look to it. OH, if you are replacing with a heavier fabric, make your tie backs longer! They will have more material to go around before they snap on the wall. (Ask me how I know! haha!) Best of luck!
