Curtains - what have you done with yours?

[NellyM]

Finally nearing the end of the interior refit on our 71 Westy and one of the jobs we are left with is the curtains. It would be great to see what everyone else has done, sizes, fittings etc. Pictures would be really helpful 8) .

Cheers

the thing we learned after making curtains the first time was getting woken at 5am because we had not lined them, missus solved that now and now don't get woken up by being light. we have the gliss curtain track very small and unobtrusive.

there is also a fine string that runs along under the windows you can tuck you curtains into so they are held back against the windows to stop the light coming in.

we also put velcro tabs on the back window curtain to hold that in place when closed, then tabs on the body level with the bottom of the window to stick the curtain when drawn closed.

I got rid of mine and use the magna blinds from Delilah's!

I made mine myself. LOL Used cloth dinner napkins.

Of course these would be lousy for keeping the light out, but as of right now I don't camp in it yet.

Thanks you guys! It's my cheap way of having curtains! Lol that and I love tie dyes. I still need to make one long one for the slider window. I bought the material but need to fine the little hanger things that slide on the track. I bought some a long time ago but can't remember where I put them. Lol

We have curtains and have sewn in some magnets in the hems so it sticks to the body to keep them in place. Works a treat for us.
