Our camper had the front doors over the front wheels. Yours looks like a bit as if it has 6 wheels.<br /><br />I doo like the idea of making it as a washable cover - then maybe you could use a brick for the filling?French Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750253554082096392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251826973604607273.post-58996955351380015182009-04-27T21:44:00.000+01:002009-04-27T21:44:00.000+01:00Okay, just thinking out loud here and I don't even...Okay, just thinking out loud here and I don't even know if it would work--but what if instead of lining it with cardboard, you made a complete box-shaped cardboard insert that was filled with your heavy stuff (rice, peas, sand, what-have-you). Then your van would basically be a pillow cover. If it isn't squishy enough you could wrap the insert with quilt batting. <br /><br />Then maybe you could make it with a zipper so you could take it off and wash it occasionally since it's a doorstop and might get dirty sitting on the floor. And, if it had a zipper, you could sell it sans rice, peas, what-have-you, to cut down on weight and shipping cost. The customer could add her own weights.<br /><br />I don't know what would be reasonable to charge, but I would buy a pdf pattern if you offered one in your shop!<br /><br />Congratulations on the magazine article!Lori Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404652976001744674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251826973604607273.post-86526049677463297532009-04-27T21:36:00.000+01:002009-04-27T21:36:00.000+01:00ooh groovy idea, love it.

As for pricing, I think it's worth more, but probably in the $20 range would be what I would expect to pay for it.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251826973604607273.post-26403514186519454282009-04-26T19:51:00.000+01:002009-04-26T19:51:00.000+01:00OOOps!

Old scatterbrain here obviously was too busy looking at the lovely piccy of the camper van to read properly that you had already tried a stiff interfacing..... Sorry :O( have been reading your blog and love it.

I can totally relate to the 'made in your mind' bit - I do the same, all the time. Sometimes make a sketch or two. Think about fabrics. Then go for it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Yours did.<br /><br />I have no idea re: price. How much do doorsteps cost?<br /><br />xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251826973604607273.post-59455472987307325242009-04-26T11:50:00.000+01:002009-04-26T11:50:00.000+01:00First time leaving a comment on your blog.

I hope its alright to say that I agree with your hubby that I think it is a wee bit on the tall side. Don't quite know how you would get over the bulge problem. Is it the softness of the fabric? Could you possibly reinforce it with something like a really heavy duty iron-on interfacing. I would happily pay up to £25 for it. It has real promise. xmenopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1251826973604607273.post-11234693749215801002009-04-26T11:36:00.000+01:002009-04-26T11:36:00.000+01:00mmm, could you use interfacing or cardboard, or us...mmm, could you use interfacing or cardboard, or use dried peas instead of rice?<br />prices - £15 - £30 ??<br />Josie xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307151386938476266noreply@blogger.com
