I sewed up awnings for the streetside windows last night. The fabric was about 3 inches wider than the windows, so there was a little to fold over each side. I cut it about 8 inches longer than the window, hemmed it top and bottom, and then folded the bottom so it fit tight to the window and made a pocket for the bottom of the window to slip into, and sewed that fold. The rest just hangs down like a fringe. I don't want to risk breaking the window with clips, so I'm trying to hold the edges on with just a piece of plastic tubing split lengthwise, and slid onto the edge. I've got them on now to see if they blow off. I'm pretty happy with the way they look. If I ever get a sewing machine I might do it again but make it fancier, but that was about all the hand sewing I could handle. Actually, this is the only sewing I've ever done, except occasionally putting a button back on.
Now I just need to make a small one for the kitchen window and a big one for the bathroom.
