I’ve been very busy, and therefore very quiet on here!
But here is a photo of a recent client’s two oval lampshades which have been stripped and recovered in the client’s chosen fabric, this gorgeous 100% linen. Such a great shape!

Olive green faux silk, knife pleated lampshade, with a pink faux silk lining!! I’m loving this colour combination! 😍

Lampshade restoration!! This beautiful lampshade is very old and the lining had seen better days (see last two photos). However the outer cover and trim was in great condition, so the client asked if I could just replace the lining.

After carefully removing the trim and original lining, I reinforced the outer fabric, then fitted a new ivory stretch lining and carefully reapplied the trim. Giving it a new lease of life!

A satisfying project :-)

I’m back from an amazing holiday and ready to make more lampshades! 😁

This terracotta beauty is one of two completed for a wonderful client and they were so enjoyable to make! I recovered existing frames in the clients chosen fabric, with a traditional ‘pinch pleat’ design, and ivory lining, all hand sewn onto the frame.

They were very satisfying to make and I love them! 😍

Have a great weekend everyone! X

A sneaky peak of something else I’m working on 😉

Unfortunately there never seems to be enough hours in the day! I want to do everything at once lol! Anyone else feel this way?

2024 is well underway, and so is my journey into knife pleated lampshades 😊

A big thank you to for sharing your wonderful skills with me. If anyone is interested in learning how to make soft lampshades using traditional techniques, give Jenny a message. Jenny is an amazing teacher 😊

I have covered three different styles with Jenny now - gathered pleated, tailored stretched and now knife pleating, and I can’t wait to learn more 😊

I must up my social media game in 2024! Wish me luck 😬

This is so exciting!! I’ve done a little interview with ANNA Money - this must mean I’m a proper business woman now lol 😁
Anna Money is fab by the way, and it’s so easy to use!
