Cali crafts/ Cali hacks

[Linda]

I'm quite excited about making stuff - pockets for the seat backs, perhaps a roof cover etc.
Would anyone else be up for a thread to share ideas, stockists and stuff?
For starters i think that someone on the Facebook forum found a good outdoor fabric supplier in Portsmouth but I can't track them down, any ideas?

Great idea Linda. I had a go at making a plate rack because I was fed up with plates falling over it's a bit Heath Robinson
But works well. I think there is a market for Cali stuff.

Hi Linda,

There's a place near me where I bought a custom made cover for my patio set. The material (Sunbrella?) comes in different colours and offer great weather protection.

Calikev- Heath Robinsonesque works for me!
Ron -thanks I'll search for Sunbrella and get someone to send me a sample.

It's quite an expensive material but I've been told boatbuilders use it for fitting out, the material is long lasting and good quality..

Just hand cut a load of this stuff:

And lined all cupboards and the glovebox. Pleased with the result - seriously non slip surfaces!

Our mate is picking us up something similar + £3.60/metre so that scootguard seems like a good price.
