Hello Ladies, hope you are all well?
I am just slightly, a little bit excited! I have a little lampshade makeover ta-dah to show you!
Do you remember this GoRgEoUs, bargain ribbon? Of course you do!
Well after seeing this ruffle lampshade in my Sewing in No Time book,
I knew that the ribbon would be perfect for this speedy little project!
So, take one lovely, but a tad boring lampshade.......
And after a bit of stitching and pulling and ruffling and gluing..................
Ta Dah!
One pretty ruffled lampshade! I'm quite impressed actually, doesn't look half bad :)
Here it is in it's home on the windowsill. I have another one to finish, but would you believe it, I ran out of glue, doh!
Continuing with the crafty theme, also been sewing in some ends of my one a day crochet cushion cover. LoVe the little pile of ends, like a pretty birds nest :)
I have completed a few squares, but have a confession - don't know if it classes as cheating but I had a bit of unexpected time to myself earlier (BOTH sweetpeas were asleep at the same time!!) so I whipped up a couple of squares. So now up to 6 all joined and ends sewn in with another 6 half complete.
Thank you for sharing your food loves with me on my previous post, I share some of your loves too :)
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

your lampshade looks lush, well done. Well done on your one a day, I've not managed one a day so far, the back end of my week and weekend have been sooooo busy i just not had time. Im super impressed you have sewn all the ends in and sewn the blocks together! thats proper organised.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my, I love this! How do you get the ribbon to ruffle? I have a plain old lampshade I'd love to jazz up. Have a sweet day, Im really enjoying catching up on your posts! xxx
ReplyDeleteJust a line of running stitch down the centre of the ribbon. Knot in one end then pull the cotton at the other end to create the ruffle the secure with another knot.
