Gosh. I know. Comedy genius! Yesterday, thanks to a fabulous UPS chap who went above and beyond the call of duty, we received the curtains for Brian. The more eagle eyed reader will notice that the picture above shows a duvet cover. Indeed so! This is because we are taking the 3 double duvet sets we ordered to the talented Sarah at vwcampercurtains to have them transformed into curtains. She's just up the road from us and has been very helpful and approachable when we've seen her at shows, so that's why she's got the job lol!
Three double duvets gives us 6m by 2m of material, plus pillows. That should be plenty, according to Sarah's flier.
We've looked at lots of fabric, both IRL and on-line and never really found what we wanted. We liked the hibiscus stuff, but Brian doesn't want to be a surf bus. He wants to be a fun bus! We thought about plain curtains once we saw how busy his door cards were, but again it just didn't feel right. Then J saw this on eBay, and Bob was our uncle.
The duvet covers came from eBay, a shop called curtainlining_uk and the service was fantastic. Ordered on Sunday, here on Tuesday. The email communication when I wanted to double check the order was swift and efficient as well! I've been having a poke around the shop and I'll definitely be ordering from there again.
The duvet covers are double sided, with one comic strip side in colour, and one in red and black.
It's lovely, and so very Brian! Obviously I'll update the blog as his curtains progress!
