Summer Screen Door
 OK so it's not really a door but it works like one. It lets the summer breeze in and keeps most of the bugs out. We don't have a lot of bugs here in Western Washington but this screen really does seem to help keep them out. Here's what you'll need:
Cut another strip 8" X 38", for header. Cut a liner for the header 4" X 36". Fold the header in half long way to make it 4" X 38". Fold the bottom out 1/2" on each side and iron. Sew both ends only using a 1/2" seam. Turn it inside out and press it. This will give you a pocket that is sewn on both ends and has a 1/2" edge folded in on both sides. For the long strips fold them in half long way and sew with a 1/2" seam on the edges and one end only, not the other end. Turn each "tube" inside out and press. Place the liner for the header inside the header pocket. Arrange the eighteen strips evenly inside the header pocket. Sew the header close 1/4" along the bottom. Continue sewing all around the header 1/4" in from the edges. Add the grommets across the top of the header. Place one in the center and the others 1" in from each end. Hang it over an exterior doorway using three cup hooks. That's it now enjoy the cool bug free breeze. At least we hope it's bug free! We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
