What curtain material / pattern would my bus have had??

[Fraggle]

Looking into getting some new curtains to freshen up the inside of me bus but wanted to know exactly what it would have had originally.

Anyone know the answer?

Here's my bus...

On the other hand I would appreciate your 'alternative' curtain material opinions for my bus.

I really like slammedresto's old bus hibiscus curtains they looked proper cool. 8) 8) 8)

Your opinions please....

That's the one!!!

Thanks for helping out. I have to say the material looks discusting!!!!!

I have a front curtain already in the same material but didn't know if it was correct for the van or not.

May well be going for some different ones now.

Thanks again. 8)

Hi

This is what was in yours and mine, I like the originals but can find any!

The front one piece is poppered on (you prob know that). I had some curtains made by Mel at http://www.campercomforts.co.uk/ last year for my Viking I had at the time, she said she will make me a westy front plus a full set, just lookin for the right fabric!

Well funny really because I only mailed Mel yesterday and just send her that pic, she said she had a supplier who she will pass it on to and is pretty sure she can come up with some samples next week.

I recomend her, very helpful and does a great job

This material is extremely sought after. One person in the US holds all the old stock, apparently, and used to make repro sets, shes now started a a family and has stopped production. Is she selling the stock? No! :roll:

I just went and found a modern material that I felt was 'in the style of' so theyd be fresh and nice and look vaguely authentic.

Nice choice Clem

Ill post my findings when i've found something close.
