2018Ive never made a lampshade But I know it can be done And better yet
I know there are books out there that can help you do it Its calledSewing Lampshades by Joanna Heptinstall
and it covers all the basics (and beyond) for constructing (and even designing) your own lampshades Like any good instructional book
it starts out with all the basic supplies youll need to launch into your new career as a custom lampshade seamstress (Ok
thats said tongueincheekbut hey You never know) The author covers all kinds of shapes and styles of lampshades Now
if you were planning to create an embroidered lampshade
then any shape of shade is game for your imaginative and creative pursuits But
particularly for the embroiderer
I liked two projects in the book especially One is a project that repurposes a vintage embroidered linen that was past its prime into a lampshade You can see in the photo above how part of that vintage linen is featured on a tailored lampshade The other project is just what I was looking for a hand embroidered lampshade In this case
one panel on the lampshade features a cute
juvenile image
hand stitched Then
coordinating fabrics are used for the rest of the panels on the lampshade frame The embroidery
of course
does not have to be juvenile It can be as grownup as you want it to be Its the concept were after
to see how to design and create the lampshade that will showcase your own needlework The book is filled with stepbystep instructions and photos for constructing lampshades
from basic designs to more elaborate designs There are hints and tips scattered throughout
to help the newbie get through what seems like a rather complicated process
but which isnt as complex as it seems The instructions in the book present the process of creating lampshades in such a way that it is accessible and doable
