I had a lovely day yesterday with Angela from Cocoon Home, trawling fabric and trim shops across London (literally, I slept well last night, it felt like we covered the… Continue reading Go with your gut Julie!…

Not on the high street…

I love lined drum lampshades. They just look so neat, professional and finished with no hint of PVC showing. Not only that, they also look beautiful when lit as the pattern on the inside shines through faintly. It takes a little more time and patience to make them but well worth it in the end.… Continue reading Not on the high street…

Musical lampshades and making new friends…

April 24, 2012 Julie Gardner4 Comments

No, they don't play a tune! I made these lined lampshades for a very musical family who wanted two lampshades for their lovely music room.

I've been meaning to do this for ages and finally got round to it today, after much deliberation on fabrics. These lovely lampshades are lined with Lotta Jansdotter cotton fabric from her Echo collection. I made two of them and they are all for me and my hallway.

COVID finally got me 🤕😞 I tested positive on Sunday and have been feeling awful, but today is definitely better and I managed to get out in my workshop to make a big drum lampshade, with stitched trim.
Lots of bespoke lampshades neatly wrapped and ready for collection 😁
Uh oh! Great way to wake Daddy up on a Sunday morning. You wouldn't believe how excited she was when I opened the stairgate 🤣🐶
Busy week making this week and next, trying to space it out though as it's too hot in my workshop, especially in the afternoons 🌞That's okay though, Rosie and I have been home alone so we've had some nice quiet time indoors too... She's becoming exceedingly good company 🥰🐶🥰
A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
