My big sewing project this month was to make a new cover for Kat's bird cage. Every night since she left I've been draping it with this piece of fleece to block out the light so the birds can sleep. It's too thick to let air circulate well, though, and keeps falling off.
Here's my solution. I made it out of thin black broadcloth (leftover from MegaCon 2014, believe it or not) and fitted it to the top, front and sides. I didn't use a pattern, but just eyeballed it. The back of the cage remains uncovered, and combined with the thin fabric allows plenty of air to get into the cage while blocking light.
The birdies seem to approve; with the new cover they didn't make a peep all night. :)
