A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Here's my latest lampshade makeover: I think next time I'd do thinner panels, and more of them, but I still quite like it. It's easy enough to do all the prep, but it's tough to sew - a 'two thimble and still ouch' job when you're sewing through the base lampshade!

Snowy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wow, that looks lovely! (all the handsewing would put me off I end up like a pincushion at the best of times) I love the fabrics you chose Edited to add - just looked at the tutorial, not as much hand sewing as I'd first thought! Looks brilliant, and a great blog - another one to put on my browse list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Wonderful! I'm itching to make one Although I would totally cheat and use my old sewing machine to stitch through the edge of the lampshade - that Jones will punch through anything!

You can use it to sew round a pre-shaped (over a metal frame) shade?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
