How to Sew a Patio Umbrella

Patio Umbrellas are sold at most department and hardware stores. Unfortunately, they are made from a cheap fabric that fades and may even rot quickly when exposed to the elements. If you want your patio umbrella fabric to last you must use Sunbrella fabric. Sewing up the umbrella panels may look difficult, but that's simply not true, it is a piece of cake following this instructional video. Figuring the fabric required is also made easy using Sailrite's Fabric Calculator (Click this link: http://fabric-calculator.com/MainMenu.aspx).

After watching this step by step instructional video you too will be able to make your own patio umbrella cover from Sunbrella fabric.
