Fabric wall coverings are expensive so the individual has to shop around
to get Roll Ends or economical materials.The fabric I used was 48" wide
and it took about five yards to do my Westy because it had a fair amount
of waste since I didn't want any seams. (about $100.00 in Fabric and
$12.00 in contact cement)
Fabric wall coverings come from Walpaper stores, its that simple.
I left all of insides of the cupboards original with the ever shrinking
vinyl.
Flat vinyl looks exactly like flat vinyl even with a texture and fabrics
just tend to be more attractive in my opinion.
Even if a motor home manufacturer is faking it with vinyl they use a
fabric texture and VW also used a fabric texture on the vinyl. They're
trying to make something cheap look better, so why not actually have
better.

OK then, it means you are a lot happier with that than the one I was
suggesting.  That is a good news.  I am happy to hear that.  Now it is
time to share the kind and type of fabric's name and source to the
public...
