Making a Traditional Lampshade

Today I did a workshop in the lovely Makery in Bath, learning how to make a traditional scallop-edged lampshade, here are some pics of the process! I used some vintage Liberty Lawn fabric which I got from the Flea market a couple of weeks ago, and some pale mint bobble trim.

I made a Lampshade

Yesterday I did a lampshade making class at The Makery in Bath! The class was taught by the lovely Ruth from Quincy Lampshades. I came armed with my half metre of green Fabric which I'd bought from Millie Moon shop in Frome, expecting a fun afternoon of making and I wasn't disappointed. Making the lampshade was not as hard as I'd thought but some bits were indeed tricky. I feel I've learned a great new skill and I am looking forward to making more lampshades soon!
