My girlfriend & I really like the original curtains in my 62 Shasta but they are so sun baked & brittle they just fall apart if you touch them..
I was wondering if anyone knew of a source for material that mimics the pattern on the original curtains. I'm on my phone so I'm not sure how to get a picture trail photo link on here from that device..

So if anyone knows of a source with vintage looking curtain fabric post a link if you would.

Thanks! Billy

If you can't find the fabric, you can design your own. Expensive but it can be done. Here's one site www.spoonflower.com/create?gclid=CL2WjdCN_LoCFRQaOgodnDYAIQ

There are others if you want to Google and shop around.

And here is a vintage fabric site:

You won't find the exact, but I bet you could find something similar. Good luck!

There are sources out there, you just have to find them.
