1974 Green Curtain Material

My guess is that this is probably a shot in the dark. Anyone know of a place that sells fabric for this year. I know that z-products has some nice sets but not in this color.

Just a side note. If you want to save some mucho denero make the drapes yourself. All you need is fabric and a sewing machine. I made mine out of canvas drop cloth from Home Depot. Cheap and easy only took me about 2 hours. Pleate all sides and use a Zig Zag stitch. Under 10 bucks and I have kick ass drapes.

I had to resew some curtains whose thread had disintegrated from UV exposure. It was a cinch.

Which would make this a good time to suggest:

Do not use cotton thread! Use polyester thread instead.

And if you are sick and tired of replacing curtains that die from rot and UV damage, I suggest the use of Sunbrella fabric for curtains.

I only had to replace a few sets of curtains over the years to learn this.

Frank seems to be the one but I'll check the fabric store to see if they have a close match.

My Liquid Stitch has held up for the past 2 years or so. Made a complete set except for the windshield.
