Technique Materials

Thank you. I have repaired my umbrellas for years. You have another step [turning and hemming area for strength] which will make my repairs more sucessful and longer lasting.

You did a great job of making a clear tutorial. I have known this but never thought about others needing to know how. Good job of seeing a need and meeting it with style. :o)

This is a VERY COOL tutorial! I can’t believe it never occurred to me to repair an umbrella when the little things pop off the little things… good one!
