I loved how "well-furnished your head" is (in Spain that's what we say when someone thinks intelligently and acts logically), brilliant 👏. Great to have tested one night before tying down any furniture. I also built my van on my own with help only on the ground and I understand your effort. You look so happy, that is the most important thing, supercongratulationssssss 🤗 .

    Hi Brenna ...I remember you sharing how you made your wall storage pockets , folded hem, no stitch but fabric glue. I did my blockout curtains with only scissors biro and ruler and fabric glue. No heading needed as I created holes to hang, by two fold peak , a small snip of each with scissors to create small diamond holes and sealed each with drop of fabric edge sealer. Then hooked each on original curtains' hooks between them and windows. Still holding together and great insulation on my vw transporter "house windows" Your experiments and tips are brilliant .....thank you 🤗 Looking forward to seeing more of your delightful art. Enjoy ( in joy ) ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾

I don’t remember what they’re called but I’m sure you could find info on an online camping site. You will get mildew if you don’t have airflow, either the pad or cutting holes in the base.
