[A/S] curtain questions...



Has anyone made replacement curtains for their Airstream? We just got an
older AS and it needs them bad!  The one in the bathroom area was faded and
almost following apart.  I took it down and removed the little plastic tabs
on it - I think someone had added it to the curtain - as it had an area to
slide a curtain rod through - and the plastic tabs were sewn on the back.  I
am afraid that the plastic tabs are too old to reuse - as they seem very
brittle.

I washed the other curtains - they were all the same - a reddish orange
fabric with fringe on the bottom.  They had "pinch pleats" at the top and
the same plastic tabs.  I washed them - and they held together - so they are
back on the windows to help keep the sun out - but are not very attractive.
I am not sure if these are original or not...  They do have a thick liner on
the back of the curtain.

Where can I get more tabs?  Also, has any one made a shower curtain?  I
don't have one at all yet - and not sure how to adapt a store bought one...
Fist - I guess I need to find those plastic tab things...

Also, there were no curtains over the window in the "kitchen area" by the
stove.  I understand why - but wonder what do you do for privacy?
