A man's tie, two safety pins and about ten seconds are all you need to have a carrying case for your umbrella.
This tie is most appropriate, is it not?
It reminded me of the west coast and misty bluish days with flecks of pink sky so that is why it got chosen from my thrift store collection of ties to house an umbrella.
Here's all you do: tuck the narrow end inside the wider end and pin. You could sew it but why bother; and I like the idea of a ten second project.
Ready in case it rains…..
…..or not.
That's Stephanie of Knotty by Nature where the photos were taken.
A wider tie (thanks, Dad) can be used to carry…..
…….a baguette.
Or maybe a tri-pod. Or easel. Or music stand.
Or pool cue. Or…….???
