    I replied to this with the portable screen made from beadboard
    inserted into fabric sleeves. My daughter corrected me: 

    "I think the instructions I had used lightweight foamboard (like
    framing stores sell). You might suggest a home fabrics store for the
    fabric. Home fabrics stores are the stores that sell material for
    home decorating, rather than clothing or quilts. They usually have
    wide lengths of cotton, chenille, jacquard, tapestry, cotton batting,
    braided trims and even velvets for cheaper than most fabric stores. I
    can get 50-60" wide jacquards for about $5-7 a yard. (That's about
    1/2-1/3 of the cost of the same material at JoAnns Fabric store.)"
