Recovering an Umbrella for Spring Fling!



Don't let a little rain stop you from looking stylish and having fun!

I have been wanting to try my hand at recovering an umbrella for some time now, and when Dee Dee asked if I wanted to be a part of her Spring Fling Event - I knew it was the perfect opportunity!

Head on over to Whatever Dee Dee Want's Spring Fling to find out how you can recover that old umbrella of yours!

I love Parisville in the Springtime :).

  5. I have thought about this too, only with kid sized. Try shopping for child sized umbrellas they seem to be all licensed characters, would love something more inspiring...hmmm!

    Off to look, makes me think of that Amy Butler laminated cotton at the local quilt shop.

  9. Oh my gosh, I was just asking myself the other day how hard it would be to recover an umbrella. Brilliant! I'll have to stop by the spring fling to see how it's done. I LOVE how yours turned out!
