I had no lining or wood in my ARQ Ruby. And so having made all my own woodwork, I then made patterns for each of the fabric sections between roofing timbers using an old sheet, tacking them in place and marking each of the shapes along with felt pen. I did not trust using outside sources for dimensions as I could not be sure these would suit my own woodwork but also, can you be sure what has happened to any of the interior woodwork over the years? Once the patterns had been made you need to allow for the folds for tacking.
You need to be sure how you are installing the lining and where your start and finish point is as this will set which side of each timber you tack the folds too.
When the whole lining is installed I steamed the lining cloth which tightened any loose areas.
It was not as difficult as I thought it would be and am very pleased with the end result, I have posted photos of the lining on previous posts.
