[Olaf/DFL]

I need a pattern of a set of 1971 US Westfalia curtains (print or digital). Does anyone has something similar to share?

Cheers,
Olaf

Oooh that would be awesome if anyone has done. My missus has all the material, been sat in the dining room for 3 months .... A pattern would be just the shove she needs !

I saved this on my PC from somewhere when I had my Westy... hope it helps!!

Westy Curtain Pattern
The Original Curtains are a pretty simple Set-up. The biggest, Front Curtain: 1 curtain
Cut size - 138"W x 24"L
Fin size - 132"W x 20"L
Sliding Door: 1 curtain
Cut size - 54"W x 24"L
Fin size - 52"W x 20"L
Rear Hatch Door: 2 curtains
Cut size - 32"W x 21"L
Fin size - 30"W x 16"L
All Other Windows - 6 curtains total:
Cut size - 32"W x 24"L
Fin size - 30"W x 20"L

Liner Fabric:
Cut size - All pieces are 22"L by whatever width is needed minus 1"W

You will need:
a Sewing Machine,
an Iron,
a nice sharp Shears or Cutting wheel,
Snap setter (A Must! You can change a lot of the snaps to Velcro as I did, But you need Snaps for the big Front Window Curtain. Velcro won't hold the weight.)
Measuring Tape

MATERIALS:
I used 6.5 yards of 60" wide fabric for my main color, 30" of that was lost to Pattern matching.I Started with 8.5 yards not knowing how much I would need.
Liner Fabric, I used 6 yards of 45" wide white cotton.
1.5 yards of 1" wide Elastic, I used 34" but have plenty to adjust for the weight of your fabric.
Snaps, These are not the snaps in the fabric store, these are for automotive uses. one side has a screw in it for attaching to a surface. I found mine in Lowes.
Snaps, regular type for the middle section of curtain. (this is optional, you can use velcro here too, I didn't, I stayed with the snaps)
Velcro, 20" of 1" wide. 2.5" for each tie back ( my tiebacks are 3" wide instead of the standard 1")
1.5" of 1/8th" velcro,(for curtain over sliding door)
Thread - I know this seems obvious, but I didn't buy enough the first time , of course they ran out and I ended up switching colors half way through. 4-5 spools of main color heavy duty ,and 1 liner color.
You will probably need to get some or the heaviest fabric needles for your machine too.

That's very useful, thanks.

The 71 had a full wrap around pop on front curtain, whereas earlier vans had curtains from rails on the cab doors. Is the a full wrap around size? Also I thought the wrap around curtain was curved for the window so wider in the middle?
