Bella, our 1958 Custom Airstream (close to a Flying Cloud)

Bella is an old Airstream travel trailer built in 1958 in California. She is a Flying Cloud but her interior is somewhat modified and looks more like Airstream's general 22' specifications of that year. Bella was purchased by a businessman in northern Idaho and has spent the last 58 years nearby beautiful Lake Pend Oreille. We had absolutely no intentions of getting another vintage Airstream. But then we met the original owner's very nice grandson and here we are owning another vintage trailer.

Curtains

I believe this is one of the original curtains. There are 14 of them and we tried to wash them as gently as possible but they are just too brittle. Too bad because I LOVE the space age pattern. Oh well, luckily the curtains still all have the plastic gliders and we have a good friend with a textile/sowing business. They will all serve as templates and be redone with new fabric.
Suggestions for good quality fabrics are welcome.
