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.

Trying out my new VW Awning on a Bus for the first time.

In the video, I am waving the awning to check the effectiveness of the attachment to the rain gutter on the VW Bus.

Wondering What A Certain Sunbrella Pattern Looks Like When Made Into An Awning?

Havelock Brick

Black Taupe Fancy Stripe

Forest Green Natural

Eastridge Cocoa

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.
