Avion With Small Decorative Window Awning
Recently, I created a means to attach small decorative window awnings, without an awning rail or any drilling into the trailer for arm supports. At a Rally I just attended, I had the pleasure of meeting someone who had ordered this type of window awning for their Avion.
Simple Way To Attach Vintage String Lights To A Vintage Trailer Awning
I am always looking for simple, inexpensive, ways to achieve specific tasks. I found a simple way to attach vintage string lights to a vintage trailer awning, by using name badge clips. They work great, are inexpensive, and easy to use.
They clip onto the valances of a vintage trailer awning, then the clear plastic strip unsnaps to accept the connecting wires of the vintage string lights. You can easily move the clips around to allow the vintage string lights to dangle in a visually appealing fashion.

Brain Storming By The Lake With The Volkswagen Buses
Just returned from a small vintage trailer gathering, which included Volkswagen Buses. What a great group of people to spend time relaxing and socializing with. I also had the opportunity to brainstorm and invent a new way to attach an awning to the Volkswagen Bus drip rail. A big thanks to the VW Bus owners who participated in my demonstration of this new concept.
Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi is excited to start adding this new type of awning.
In the video, I am waving the awning to check the effectiveness of the attachment to the rain gutter on the VW Bus.

 |
| Forest Green Natural |

Sometimes it is easier to make a decision about a Sunbrella pattern, once you have seen it made into a Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi.
The facings on the underside change according to the size of awning, but will follow the design of the pattern.
These pictures I hope will help you imagine what your new trailer awning will look like.

Preparing To Order Fabric For Fall 2016 Awnings
I have seen the pattern numbers available for my next bulk shipment of fabric, but not the yardage yet.
I will be closed for the month of July because my first grandchild is due July 1st.
I am preparing ahead, and arranging for more fabric, while I am away.
I have also been making inventory awnings this week, just waiting for the phone call that the baby is on it's way!
Check back later to see the fabric patterns as they are confirmed. See pictures :

June 2016 Inventory Awnings In Progress
Making Inventory Awnings Again.
It's time to order Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric for Fall 2016 awnings. So, as usual, I am using up some of the remains of my Spring 2016 fabric to make inventory awnings.
My first grandchild is due July 1st, which means I am waiting for the phone call and can't be taking custom orders at this special time in my life. This gives me an opportunity to have more Ready-Made Awnings for you. Contact me.
More Inventory Awnings that are in process:
