Our Orla Kiely fabric arrived last week so I’ve been busy making curtains for the van. I didn’t get any progress pictures but they’re double faced with black out material in the middle.

All 8 made up:

And hung in the van:

Making a super cosy area to sleep in when they’re shut:

I’ve a fair bit of material left over from the bits I’ve been making so I found a few further bits to make.

The sun visors weren’t in the best of shape as the foam had lost all of their sponginess so I made some new ones.Old covers used as patterns to make new pieces:

The metal frame from the old ones was then removed. You can see how battered the foam was from where the frame was tearing through:

And new foam cut out from some scrim I had left over:

Once sewn up and put together I think they look pretty nice, just need a few new clips for them:
