A note about bias tape: Typically bias tape is cut on a 45 degree angle (literally, the bias) from the selvedge edge to ensure the fabric can flex and stretch around curves etc. In this case I had to use what was available and didn't have the luxury of cutting properly angled bias strips but happily it was inconsequential for this project
I'm going to put elastic around the top and bottom. That way it can be washed.
This has really been informative. Thank you!
That's a clever idea! Thanks for sharing!
Jenna, thank you! You made this process a LOT easier than I thought it was going to be. I may actually try to tackle it myself now! :) I have some OLD (30+ years) shades that have dry rotted and are practically disintegrating when you look at them. There's nothing wrong with the 'frame' (?), it just needs to be covered again. With your video, I think I can do it! Thanks again.
That's wonderful to hear, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment! Those sturdy older shade frames definitely deserve a new life! If you're starting with a totally blank frame, it might be useful to consider a muslin cotton lining as a backing for the decorative fabric to mimic the density that an intact shade will provide. For instance, you might try holding it up in front of a bulb and seeing how dense that makes your chosen fabric, and then decide how much light you'd like to come through etc. Have fun and enjoy your old/new custom shades! 💜
The lamp shade is absolutely gorgeous. I love it.
Thank you Karen! I can't believe how happy it is making me, every time I walk by it I smile ... I guess that means I made the right choice finally going for it and using that treasured fabric! ♥️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful job. It's just gorgeous!
I love it!!!❤😊
You're so welcome! I'm glad you like it, thank you for commenting!
I won't admit it out loud, but I love to iron. Take a sad wrinkled piece of fabric and it turns almost silky with a warm steamy iron. Immediate gratification.
No judgement here hehe 😉 It really is so satisfying! Thanks for commenting! ♥️
What a wonderful video! I always thought this would be a very enjoyable and satisfying thing to do ... :)
Thank you! I hope you try it some day!
It turned out lovely. Nice project. I took use pencil as well. I have a old screw in the wall pencil sharpener we have had for over 40 years. Works great. Also for markering fabric I use Crayola markers, spray and iron & it's gone. Cheap and works great.
I never thought of Crayola markers, great idea! Thanks for commenting!
love this!
you made this look so easy. I will give it a try....
That's great! Thanks for commenting!
WoW! Gorgeous!!! 🤩
Thank you!! ❤️
Beautiful job! So neat and precise 👍
Thank you, and thank you for commenting!
Beautiful
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for this! i want to do this in my new house after i get moved in! i’ll be ordering extra drapery fabric to match or coordinate can’t decide which yet ❤
That's great! The weight of the fabric will affect how well this works so keep that in mind when making your selection! 💜
Lovely

I love ironing! Lol
Yay!! More support for the ironing club lol! Thanks for commenting!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!

How do you determine how wide the fabric needs to be? Since it’s going to be gathered it needs to be wider than the circumference of the lampshade but by how much?
In my experience it's a bit like measuring for the gather on curtains; a comfortable amount seems to be width of the lamp shade + half that again. So if the circumference is 16", add 8" and seam allowance, for example.
Thank you for commenting! If you try it I hope you love it!
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

Do you happen to know the name of the pattern or who it's made by? It's beautiful.
Thank you! I'm sorry I don't know the pattern, I bought it almost 20 years ago... if I knew I would be getting more myself!
I was taught to sew right sides together…then wrong together…thank you for the information…why didn’t you just sew the bias instead of gluing????
If I remember correctly my aim was to not have stitching showing... but if you'd prefer to sew it, go right ahead! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
