Making Umbrellas, part 2


Making Umbrellas, part 2
Originally uploaded by Derek & Sarah Grant.

The next day, they sewed the leaves together, back to back with a string they get from tree bark, and then laid them in the sun to
dry. Once they were dry, they sewed the edges, then flattened them out by folding them small and sitting on them. They are almost
done at this point. All that's left to do is sew the back edge together so that when they wear them they will sit on their heads
like along hood.
