Sewing

Hello my lovelies, it's been a few days but that is OK. I have been terribly tired but now I have told you about the long-Covid I no longer feel there is a need to apologise or explain - most liberating!

It will come as no surprise to anyone that there has been a little "Van Sewing". Nothing like the scale of past endeavours, Blue Bus does not need me to make fancy window covers (she has very fancy built-in blinds) or big quilts for the beds (there isn't room!) but I have managed some bespoke making for my lovely bus. There is more than this, but to be honest these are the bits which photographed the best 😉.


First there is a "thing" which is both a bag for the Disklok security device and a cover to protect the steering wheel when it's in use. Made from a mat of Bill's which I have repurposed.










Decorating a little neoprene pouch so that my drink bottle fits into the door pocket without rattling around.





A new mat to fit the worktop, and one to cover the sink & hob glass lids.



I managed to scratch these on Bill by not making a cover immediately, lesson learned (and yes, there may have been a little extra effort to get those repeats to line up).







As yet there have not been any notable big (or small) adventures. We've popped out to the shops and around the local area, probably every other day, but a trip away is going wait until Blue Bus has been and had her own overnight stay back at the dealer. We have found a couple of small issues that are not surprising on a previously used vehicle and Hartley's will be fixing everything and more. Their customer service has been exemplary to date and I am very pleased we chose this company as our dealer. I will take her down next Thursday morning and collect on Friday afternoon. After that, the fun can begin properly!
