Great window sunshade idea.

Tabaz

Saw this window shade at a campground this weekend.  Held in place with an elastic strap and Velcro.  Very cool looking, highly practical and easy to install/remove.

That's ours. We got the pattern off the Yahoo T@B group and my wife made them. Very nice to have. You can have some privacy and shade while keeping the windows open to capture a breeze. I forget who made them first. 

Photomom

That looks like the Spoonflower fabric that is designed by a T@B owner. 

Tabaz

Interesting camo design - goes well with the Outback theme I think.  Made by Chris K and his wife Kathy.  They work great!  Easy on/off and you can fully close the window without needing to remove them.

Where can I see details on this? Love to make them for our T@B. Did "Chris K and his wife Kathy" post instructions somewhere?

PITPAT

I got the pattern for these off the Yahoo T@B forum. Someone generously posted detailed directions. I made my reversible with classic stripes on one side and girly flowers on the other for when I am "glamping" with Sisters On The Fly. They are held on with 1" elastic and Velcro.  Took me about an hour per panel. I used outdoor fabric from JoAnn (use those 40%coupons!) and UV thread that supposedly lasts longer in the sun.

Thanks. I'll jump over to the Yahoo Group and see if I can find it.

Verna

If one of you guys could use a new discussion with the dimensions and directions to make these window shades, Mike, PXLated or I will make sure it is moved to where it is archived here for others to use. Thanks if you don't mind doing this.

This may be what you are looking for.

Verna, the 3 page direction document is by Sharon Sigmon. It is posted on Yahoo as well as on the Facebook group called T@B Camping Trailers. I tried posting the FB link but it's being non-cooperative tonight. I'll try getting the Yahoo link.   Update: I think this link will work......

Patty, I looked at the Yahoo Group but couldn't find them. Could you hold my hand please and post a link or search word or phrase please?

You people are so talented and creative!  I can't wait to meet many of you at t@bstock in 2016.

Tearstock....Little Guy and Pleasant Valley have many other teardrop models that they manufacture. 

Verna

Thanks, Patty. I'll try to get it into a PDF, while giving credit to Sharon and the others she gives credit to. 

KyBawpaw

FWIW, those two links failed (for me anyway). Took me to list of awning ads on a Time Warner page??

Pitpat's link takes me directly to Sharon's directions.

Verna - Does the attachment SweetlyHome uploaded above not work for you guys - Nice PDF for me.

Verna

Yes, that is great. I'm not good with PDF files, PXLated. Could you copy that file to the post I made in the videos and resource category? Just edit my post and add it, if you can. Thanks!

Nomad

Verna - Hmmmm, have it saved on my iPad but can't get at it for uploading.

Verna

I have the same problem. Maybe @Michigan_Mike can help in the am. 

SweetlyHome

I'll re-post it to the other thread.  Likely not until Saturday A.M.

Nomad

Thanks

^^^ Thanks Larry! That link worked for me Looks like I have a weekend project. Thank you all for rounding up these instructions!

KyBawpaw

Think my problem is the Linux OS I'm using. I'll go back to Windows (ugg) and do those links again. Thanks to all who've searched it out.

did you try the pdf download above in this thread by SweetlyHome?  The links don't work for me on a Mac but the pdf downloaded with no problems.  I know the later Mac OS is linux based so I would think you would have a relatively good shot downloading with no problems. 

Nomad

BBchBum - Macs are Unix based but not the Linux variant. BSD with a Mach kernal as I recall. And a totally different programming base - ObjectiveC and Swift

Haibike

Well that settles it, I must buy a T@B to put these cute shades on.  Thanks sweetlyhome for the PDF.  I just downloaded it to my iPad.

SweetlyHome

I tried to attach or add a comment with PDF in the videos and resource category. I was unable to there is no option for editing Vera's post nor option to add a comment. Not technically able to explain more clearly.

The pattern for the window awnings was initially put together by Ella Brown and Sharon Sigmon, I believe.  Ella and her husband now travel in a Airstream Bambi.  The pattern can be found on Yahoo, as well as the Facebook pages.  Warning:  They can be quite addictive : ) I don't sew, but have managed to make 4 sets.  Yikes!

I use an Ubuntu Linux variant on my laptop. Extremely safe for online commerce and banking. Has its limits though.
