It's May and we've had two days with temps over 70 degrees! I'm so happy. Hoping winter or signs of winter are gone!
This weekend I was determined to finish up my Haute Couture Club Fashion Show garments/items. One of them was this lovely umbrella, custom made by yours truly. I was so pleased with how easy and well it turned out.
At the end of last HCC meeting Rhonda, held a how to workshop, but I was unable to participate. I was not ready and had some other responsibilities. On Saturday morning I was able to finish mine all but anchoring the canopy to the stokes and applying the fabric shield spray.
I wanted some Wakanda something fabric, but couldn't find any. I love the Black Panther movie. It displayed so many positive roles of black women. Who wouldn't want to be a super hero or fantasized about being one (that would be me ;-) ). So can someone create some Wakanda fabric, please?
The Black Widow movie is due out 2019. She is fierce with enhanced technological powers that make her virtually invincible.
Anyway, back to the umbrella. The supplies came from the Quilter's Trunk store in Chicago. But you can contact Umbrella Joan to purchase the frame and the pattern. Just follow the instructions and you are done!
Happy Sewing!

Your umbrella is gorgeous! Never thought about making an umbrella, but now that seed has been planted in my brain. (Do I need more projects?)
ReplyDeleteWow you are super talented!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made an umbrella! I've never thought of that. It looks so beautiful.
