Two New Marine Grade Awning Fabric Patterns Just Arrived

Arcadia Coffee and Arcadia Sage are the two new patterns, of marine grade awning fabric, that just arrived for Fall awnings. If you are in need of a large vintage trailer awning, I have several other patterns besides these with enough yardage left on the bolt. Arcadia Skipper, Summerton Garden, Arcadia Classic, to name a few. With the measurement of your  vintage trailer awning rail, I will also be able to let you know what other patterns are still available  from my inventory of striped awning fabric It is hard to tell what colors are represented, due to the differences in computer monitors, so ask for a fabric sample if trying to coordinate with another color. October 2014 a new shipment of striped awning fabric will be arriving soon. 25 or so striped patterns will be available for a custom ordered Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi

Protect your Vintage Trailer Awning Fringe From Fading

I have been extremely busy making vintage trailer awnings. I really haven't had much of a chance to update my Blog. The waiting list for an awning is now down from seven to four. I have been averaging two awnings a week, working non stop! My new fabric that arrived early in May, has been very popular. Frequent requests for fringe to be added to the awning valance have been coming in. So, I finally purchased a few colors of fringe to try out. I have been hesitant to add fringe, due to my concerns about the fringe fading, bleeding, and deteriorating, do to sun and rain exposure. However, I discovered that there is a UV protectant spray for fabrics that also contains a water repellant. So for those of you who decide on vintage trailer awning fringe, I would protect your investment with this  simple precaution. Attached is a picture of  one example, but there are many to chose from.
