Curtains!

Post by sped372 » Mon Mar 14, 2016 7:24 pm

Still have to do the windshield one, but thought I'd share the new curtains we sewed for the camper. We weren't big fans of the stock curtains, pretty dull and uninspiring. Took quite awhile to find the right fabric, but it really brightens things up and ties the interior and exterior colors together. I think we may end up recovering the seats eventually, too... I really think Westfalia could have done better with the fabric selections!

I like em'. I was never a fan of OG curtain fabric either. I was considering doing a two tone curtain scheme in the next month or so. Good work!

...although, if you want them: I have one pair of curtains to go with "blue stripey"...bought them off the Samba...p.o. thought they were green, like what I was looking for.

Agreed, I think they did a much better job selecting color patterns in the early bay days. We made ones for our '70 also, but only because the OG ones were long gone by the time we bought the bus.
