Rain....Rain....Go Away!

Don’t let a rainy day get you down! Make a unique/designer 48” umbrella with fabrics of your choosing to brighten any rainy day. They are fun to make and use, plus they make great gifts! Cotton is the easiest fabric with which to work, especially when making your first umbrella (you’ll want to make more!), but any fabric will work because it will be waterproofed. You will NEVER look at fabric the same way again! You’ll ask yourself, “How will this look as an umbrella?” By the end of class, participants will have a completed umbrella which will just need to be waterproofed at home. **Minimum number of students is 4
Fee Includes: includes the pattern, frame and
notions required for class work plus bonus patterns
for fabric scraps left after cutting out umbrella
Students to bring:
Fabric: 42"-45” W - 1 3/4 yds. OR 2 colors –1 yard each
54” - 60” W - 1 1/4 yds.
All over print or design recommended for the first umbrella. Batik fabrics
work especially well.
Iron, but don’t prewash your fabric.
Not recommended for the first umbrella: Stripes, plaids & one-way designs,
because they usually require double the amount of fabric and takes
more time and more room for matching.
Regular Sewing Machine: with 1/4" foot or adjustable needle position,
threaded with matching thread. An overlock foot is also
helpful.
OR:
Serger: Set up with matching thread for a narrow-rolled edge hem. Be
prepared to change this to a standard overlock stitch setting. (Bring
your serger manual, if needed).
Notions for Class: Fabric scissors, straight pins, hand sewing needle, thimble
Notions for Later at Home: Fray check, and waterproofing spray
Optional: Lunch or snack.
