Basecamp Window Cover

I made a window cover for our Airstream Basecamp. I didn't want to add any extra weight, so I found this window bra idea from someone in the Airstream Basecamp facebook group. I used my sewing machine, purchased the materials from Sailrite and Amazon. The sew lines aren’t great because the materials were thick and my machine had a hard time getting through all off the layers, especially with the heavy-duty thread. This whole project took me a few hours to complete and was very straightforward. This video goes through the steps that I took to create the DIY window cover.

Below are links to the materials that I used:
