Today I made my biggest lampshade so far, for an order through Folksy. It was made using Heather Bailey fabric Hello Roses which I’ve used before to make small lampshades. This was quite a challenge due to the size. I won’t bore you too much but it involved two seams, matching the pattern and trying to center the roses on the lampshade (now I know why we study maths at school!) Now it’s complete and looking lovely I’m pretty pleased, shame it’s a bit too early for a glass of celebratory wine!

It’ll be off in the post later today to Philippa in Sussex…

Flower power!

Flower power lampshades!

As we’re having a second summer this week, I just had to show you these flowery lampshades I made from Amy Butler and Heather Bailey cotton fabric. They measure 20cm in diameter by 18cm high but I’d like to see them on a big drum lampshade, hopefully someone else will too?!

It’s been a lovely week; not just because the sun’s shining; I’ve had so much fun making lovely things. Next on my list are another bag and a pouffe. Hopefully soon I’ll be all stocked up for my stall in three weeks time…
