Wow, didn't know an umbrella could be made, other than commercially. Great job

During WWII, my mom made umbrellas for us and others. She had gotten some parachute silk from somewhere and used it. I was a little alarmed to see bloodstains on some of the fabric, though.

LIke Maxwell house coffee, good to the last drop. I am so bad.

Cute umbrella. Here in PNW we don’t use umbrellas unless it is pouring.

I made my son come and look at your lovely umbrella. He didn't know people could make their own!

Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
