Window shade repair

The shade for the rear window appears to be original to the trailer from 1973. It's necessary since the sheer curtains let lots of light in - but they give almost no privacy.

The part of the shade that was exposed for years is crumpled and discolored.

I did a preliminary amount of shopping and it's clear that shades are no longer a popular window covering!!  


Fortunately, the blind is about 5 times longer than it needs to be for the short window.   So, I decided to simply cut it and modify it to use the existing "pull".

I just made a pocket with the sewing machine for the existing pull board.

I was worried that the plastic would tear, but it sewed very nicely!

And it worked perfectly - cost - almost nothing!!
