I made a umbrella !
 

I took a class on how to make a umbrella! It was a lot of fun! Used Cotton fabric, my sew machine and my serger that does not get used much. Does have some hand sew too. I sprayed it to Repel water. Just spray it yesterday, so I have not check yet to see if it works in the rain yet.
Below is the web site to get a pattern and frames. They have umbrella frames for doll, kids and adults

It a FUN project and it not that hard to make.

That is really cute. Looks like a fun project.

That is pretty, good job.

Very nice umbrella! Looks like you did a great job!

Awesome work!!!!

Wow, that is great. I have a quilt pattern with umbrella blocks and have yet to make that!!

hit it with the hose and see or you could put another coat of the Repel on it and wait another day!

Oh my gosh! I love your umbrella. How exciting - I didn't know that one could make umbrellas. Another thing for my to-do list.

Looks great, great work.

I really like it! Thank you for sharing the link. :)

My to do list is already too long but you have done a great job on this.

Cool! Thanks for the site info!

That is sew cool! I would go crazy making umbrellas in gorgeous fabrics. Was it difficult to make?

wow what a neat thing to make never thought of making one!!!

That is sew cool!

I never thought of making an umbrella, either.

I think I really need to make one of these .. out of Kaffe!

cool idea.... nice

How great is that - I love it!!

Great idea! Looks really cool!

This is so cool. Looks like a good umbrella to use to walk the dog:)

Wow, it really is an umbrella! I thought I would be looking at a quilt with umbrellas on it...lol. Very nice!

It take some time but it not hard. You do a rolled hem on the bottom edge with a serger. Then sew the panels together. Then you do a overlock stitch over the seams to give it a finish look. Hand sew rib eyes on to the fabric points.

How cool. Love the material you use for this one. Now I wonder if I can find dogs & cats material to make a "it's raining cats & dogs". LOL. Thanks so much for sharing. :thumbup:

How lovely is that!!! Congratulations.

Great work. Lovely umbrella.

Pretty neat.

My DS & DIL would love that. That's their favorite print.

I love that! I saved off the link for a future project.

Thanks for sharing!

LOVE it! Who woulda thought you could make your own umbrella????

that is so neat..i'd like one with pretty fish all over it...last name Fish...very clever and nice..good job

Wow, that's amazing. Fantastic job.

Great job..That is lovely...

Did you have to buy the frame or can you use another umbrella and recover it? I have a couple that I've had for eons. Don't know why I kept them, maybe waiting for something like this :)

That is so neat.

Very neat, umbrellas are usually so blah, now you can make them in fun colors! OK, one more thing on my list!
