How To Patch a Hole in Umbrella Fabric

crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

Umbrellas are a basic tool that most people need in their everyday lives. They get damaged from continuous use or from getting snagged on something sharp during use or transport. Instead of repeatedly buying new ones, we suggest that you fix your old umbrella, as the process is simple and can be done by someone with little to no experience. This guide will show users how to repair a tear in an umbrella by mending it with a needle and thread and reinforcing it with a fabric patch.

    • Remove the fabric from the extender arms of your umbrella.

    • This allows you to more easily work with the torn area, as the fabric won't be held tightly.

    • Sew the tear together from the back side of the umbrella using your needle and nylon thread.

    • Be sure to use a thin gauge nylon thread, as cotton threads will soak through and cause leaks in your canopy.
