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

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.

The lamp shade is absolutely gorgeous. I love it.

I'm going to put elastic around the top and bottom. That way it can be washed.
This has really been informative. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful job. It's just gorgeous!
I love it!!!❤😊

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.

What a wonderful video! I always thought this would be a very enjoyable and satisfying thing to do ... :)

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.

[ritaalbert]

you made this look so easy. I will give it a try....

[RebekahLeaPhelps]

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 ❤

Hello, really helpful video. Going to try your technique. One thing, when you started using the needle and thread, how did it stay on as you were pulling the fabric to get that pleated look? I did not see that in this video.

[lindseylee]

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?

[opiemae]

Do you happen to know the name of the pattern or who it's made by? It's beautiful.

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????
