"He sat in the window of a little shop in Westgate Street, cross-legged on a table from morning till dark. All day long while the light lasted he sewed and snippetted, piecing out his satin, and pompadour, and lutestring"
Beatrix Potter - The Tailor of Gloucester
I have to admit to feeling just as overwhelmed with sewing and in need of mice a few weeks ago! But now it is all finished and although I say it myself I am very pleased with the results . As promised I have been out specially today to take a photo! The seat covers, curtains and cab blinds are all finished, just the rug to do and that can wait till we are on the road!
I finished work yesterday although I don't think its sunk in yet. Chris has been to work today and I think when we are both finished it will seem more real. I have done some packing and sorting and also treated myself to a visit to my favourite cafe in Bristol this afternoon (Papa Costas) on park street. Baklava to die for.... its been a good day!

It looks like the quilted seat covers were worth the effort - it looks really cosy!
I'd like a few more photos of the inside of your van please, just to be nosy (in case I don't make it down next week to see it in real life)!
Looks really nice! You've done a great job. :) Would like to see a couple more photos of the inside with the curtains too please. Looks really cosy - your mini home for a while. Johnny & I were reminiscing cycle camping last night - you will have so much fun & much more comfort. Enjoy!x
