And they're in....

The aim of this weekend was to put the wheels on yesterday and have Brian raised, and curtains in today.
Well, we managed the curtains.
For mostly illness related reasons, Brian did not go over to Swaffham to be done.
For mostly massive antibiotic related reasons, the curtains did go in today! Most of them...
Just as a reminder, Brian's previous existence was in Burberry check.




All round. All over.
The first curtains to go in we're the back ones.
For any curtain nerds out there, it is clear that Brian's old curtains were hung with household runners and hooks. He now has camper runners and hooks.
Off came the end stop (don't lose this!) and on went the new runner loops.




The smaller one is the correct one.
And da-dah!




How gorgeous are they?
We did the sides at the back on both sides, then the long curtain along the sliding door.




From the inside, the red is really striking but also has a really cosy feel.








The curtains haven't been pulled yet, I'm letting them drop a bit before I do that. They are very stiff at the moment, which is to be expected from 3 layers of material.
The curtains also look great up against his cartoon door cards.




The front windscreen curtain was slightly more tricky, as we had to put some extra press studs into Brian before we could mount the curtain.
The original ones look like this, (yes, headlining is on the list of things to do!)




The curtain had been deliberately made without poppers in, so that we could match them up in situ and get them exactly right.




Everything was provided, including studs, instructions and tool-thingy.




Instructions were clear.




J offered up the curtain to the right place and used a bradall to put a small hole in.




Ok, it's a circuit tester. However, the point is that is has a sharp point to go through all the layers of material.




The tool instructions were followed, and the poppers were popped into place.




Inside.




Outside.




Fitted!

Back view!
There are a few bits still to do, but illness caught up with us again, and so we'll finish it another day.
However, it's a lovely job, and really suits Brian. We're really thankful to Sarah at VW camper curtains for doing such a great job with the material we dropped off to her!
