Post New Curtains for the Cabin!

Anyone out there have a clever not too costly solution for replacing old, worn curtains in the Trail Manor 2720?

Would very much appreciate any experiences, ideas, and/or suggestions.

THANKS!

We removed all the curtains in ours and I replaced them with room darkening blinds in the living area , able to control the light that comes in and more privacy. Covered the bedroom windows with reflectix. No more dirty curtains , we just remove the blinds before we put it down for traveling.

Following this thread. I've considered having some custom made locally (I wish I could sew), but it would be pricey. I've considered taking them down and having them dry cleaned to see if it would brighten them up some. I've also contemplated dying them, but I am scared of shrinkage. Does anyone know the fiber content? Mine are dark blue, and I would just dye them a darker blue. I like navy. What I don't like is the valances. They have the upholstery fabric on them, and it is very dated. I'd love to figure out how to recover the valances and my dinette cushions. I can't afford to pay someone right now, but maybe down the road...
