It can happen to anyone: you’re using your umbrella or parasol and suddenly one of the ends loosen! Here’s how to fix it with just a simple needle and thread.
1
Choose a thread color that matches the color of the parasol. Cut a piece of thread about 90 cm long, thread it through the needle, and double it. Tie a triple knot at the end and pull both strands tight. Push the needle from the inside through the tip of the fabric.
2
Pass the needle through the eye of the metal end.
3
Tighten the fabric by holding it close to the tip with your other hand. Push the needle back through the fabric.
4
Repeat this process several times until everything is securely fastened.
5
Then wrap the thread several times around the fabric.
6
Finish off by making several overlapping stitches in the same spot. Cut off the thread – and you’re done!
