    Thank you!! I knew the fabric had to be cut in the arc like that, but I couldn't figure out how to measure it. This is so easy! Can't wait to make a lampshade to match my grandson's nursery!

    While it's a great tutorial,that background music is far too loud for us older folks.I never could figure out why folks doing tutorials even need to have background music.We watch the videos because we are interested in what you have to say,and we want to learn new ways of doing things..Thank you for doing this,and i hope the powers that be will take not having music,or softer music into consideration.

    Thank you for the tutorial. You make it look very easy. Perhaps my shade was slightly warped, but every time I rolled my shade back and forth it never followed the same path. After one failed attempt I cut a much wider path than the width of the shade. I ended up with an irregular and too big overlap, but I was able to trim it with an exacto knife.

    What kind of fabric did you use? Similar to something you would use to make a pillow cover, for example? What if any modifications for a square shade?

    • @onlinefabricstore
      @onlinefabricstore  10 років тому +2

      Hi larusa4! We used Suburban Home Lana Aqua Fabric--it's a drapery fabric that would work well for pillows (you can find it here www.onlinefabricstore.net/suburban-home-lana-aqua-fabric-.htm). Most fabrics you would use for making a pillow cover would work great! Since you can use a wide range of fabric for pillows, I’ll also add that lighter weight fabrics (like drapery and quilting cottons) in light colors would let the most light through, while heavy fabrics (like upholstery fabric) would block a lot of light. And the methods in the tutorial should work on a square lampshade too :) Thanks so much for watching!

  • @shezcal

    I enjoyed watching this video, you make it looks very simple to do, thanks. I have two cardboard lampshades that I thought of binning but may try this tutorial. I agree with another viewer that this music is too loud which is not only distracting but makes it hard to hear your instructions. Turning down the volume is not the answer as this obviously means your voice/instructions would not be heard!
