Found a pair of these sweet old lamps at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago. All they needed was some shades. The frame above is one of a pair I had tucked away in the garage ...
Now all I needed was something to cover the shades. When I spied this soft pink embroidered netting I knew I had hit the jack pot. I cut the lace to the length of circumference of the base of the shade frame. Next I folded down the edge of the netting and did a basting stitch, which I then gather to the circumference of the top of the shade. Last of all I tacked it to the frame.
I was pretty happy with how they turned out. They are in the antique mall now awaiting a new home!
Perfect shades for these lamps. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would be so afraid they would catch fire? So delicate? Or am I paranoid? Either way, they are beautiful.

Those are so pretty! I recently tried to revamp a lamp shade and got the wrong type so that is not happening afterall. I guess I will try again :)
