Broken umbrella?

dandy-candy

I have a cheapy umbrella from Primark that blew inside-out and 2 of the strutts broke. It's unrepairable (and only cost £4 new) but the waterproof fabric is very pretty and undamaged. Any ideas of what I could make with the fabric? Pity to waste it!

How about trying a toiletries bag? You could either do drawstring or with a zip. Either that or a portable bag for putting wet stuff in like outdoor shoes or even... An umbrella!?

what about a peg bag ?

BAGGY

You can make a kids poncho according to disney channel. You cut the head hole and hem it. I think it would be too wide so would need to be worn with a scarf?
