ISO EXTREME FABRIC STIFFENER FOR SLIDING FABRIC PANELS, TOTAL NOOB
Hoping this is a basic question, but not sure.
I am on a budget, and have at least two storage spots I need to affordably cover (specifically, the lower portion of some open shelving in my kitchen and ugly sliding mirror doors in my living room).
I'm inspired by the Chicology and Ikea sliding fabric panel systems. What makes them look finished is that the panels themselves are extremely stiff, so they are more like the material of a roller blind, say (almost a non-woven) than a curtain, but still have a bit of "bend."
Addressing the first project: I had rod panels in the kitchen, but they just didn't look right: too flouncy and unfinished. I found some great thrift shop Marimekko/Ikea fabric that goes swimmingly with my mod/Scandi style in that room, and want to use that. It's actually a duvet cover--just perhaps 300 th ct cotton. So what I need is a means to make the fabric stiffer--like, as stiff as possible--so it will work with, say, the Ikea panel system hardware.
Is there a specific kind of lining/interfacing that I should look for to make this fabric as stiff as possible? Or some liquid treatment--I was even contemplating modge podge or some glue/starch solution... Found this post that gives options including gelatin, diluted PVA glue, and interfacing options, but I was lucky to find this fabric on the cheap and don't want to ruin it w/o some input from those who know...
Oh. And I should mention. I can sew by hand (poorly, but will do my best), but don't have a sewing machine--so something other than interfacing might be ideal, although if that is the best solution, would love to know. Might be able to get one of my more skillful friends to sew if I do the cutting.
Appreciate any guidance that can be given :)!
