I should have wrote this first... It is such a blessing that you are providing such an in depth tutorial, actually referring to your "How to Make a Lampshade" video too. Thank you from the bottom of my, no longer frustrated, heart.
I want to see more of your tutorials ! perhaps an upholstery ? btw your video of the black and white lampshade is fenominal ! thanks for this. Kind regards from The Netherlands. !!
Hello. Thanks so much for your lovely reply. Upholstery is a bit outside my area but I do hope to do a more detailed tutorial on a pleated lampshade as I've just found a frame in the thrift shop. After that I'm planning to do tutorials on Colour and how to choose Colour in your interior projects.
Where do you purchase your slightly curved needles. I have been able to find deep curve, almost a half circle but it looks like the slight bend would be less cumbersome.
@@chezmaisonhome Thank you! Forgive me for taking so long to see this reply. I have tried the deep curve needles but they flip in my fingers. Knowing you bend them yourself helps a lot too. because that's what I was going to try when I tackled the lampshades. I wasn't sure the needle would bend, and was trying to think of ways to warm the needle without overheating it so it would bend smooth without snapping. I haven't found the silk yet for the liners. But I have faith. I was making slipcovers when I found your video last year, I had many set-backs with the first one that made doing the second one a project for a later date.
Hello Karla, you asked: What is the name of the white ribbon that covers the structure? This is a cotton tape used in sewing projects - an example like this one on ebay. It is the 1/2inch wide size. www.ebay.ie/itm/292187427354?hash=item4407ba521a:g:CgQAAOSw2rFZbmbq&var=591120706529
We didn't go into all the details on this video because it was about the journey of the lampshade. It had been with the customer since she was a Bride and decades later when she was downsizing her home she wanted to bring the lamp and shade to this part of her life. Full instrutions for how to cover a shade inculding the lining is in our 'how-to' video also here on youtube. ua-cam.com/video/zLpoDkTKR4s/v-deo.htmlsi=OzNOUU7lqxc5Fw6b

The needles are actually 'long darners' from John-James. I bend them myself to suit this job.

You didn’t even show how to put the fabric on the shade frame.
