Be careful! I started out with a make do design wall using cardboard and an old plastic tablecloth. That fit perfectly in my little 8x 6 sewing room. I thought what more could I want. LOL I now have two 8 x 4 felt covered insulation foam boards in my converted den with attached bedroom that is now my sewing studio.

I have sliding pocket doors to my sewing room and since there are windows and closets on other walls there is mo real room for a design wall. But a thought popped into my brain about hanging a flannel Roman shade just above the door way on the inside of the room. Maybe I could lower and raise it and it would be out of sight from the rest of the house??

I agree, some of my initial cheap ideas included hanging a flannel sheet, length of batting, etc. over the curtains in my dining room...nothing stuck. You kind of need the firm surface underneath to press things onto. The cardboard or other firm surface works MUCH better, blocks stick just fine.

Depending on the style of the door, you could put flannelette or fleece right on the surface of the sliding doors. Would need to check that the one at the back would still have room to slide, if it had the covering plus blocks on it.
