DIY scrim?

I was wondering what a good material was for a DIY scrim?

How Big?
For just knocking down sunlight outdoors or to be used with strobes or hot lights?

Outdoor sunlight, mostly for facial shots. So not too big. I can always cut it down to size if the material is huge.

Dunno if you're in the USofA or not but if you are, and you have a JoAnn's Fabrics anywhere nearby, they sell drapery shear material in bulk.

They also have (IIRC) various weights of linen and muslin (depending on how much shade you need to generate.)

I found the furniture recovering and drapery sections of the store to be better (ie, physically larger sizes) than just the bolts of cloth.

You could easily build a frame of just about any size and a stand out of PVC pipe...
