My dreams of accepting a place at art college were dashed by my parents when I was a teen, but I didn't let that get in the way of embracing creativity throughout my life.
I've worked as an art teacher, spent years as a wedding dress designer winning awards from Brides and Setting up Home - Conde Naste publications judged by David Emmanuel and Jeff Banks and appeared on Kirstie's Handmade Home, to more recently following my love of art painting and making wonderful vintage inspired lampshades (you may have spotted one of mine on Eastenders in Ruby's home).
Now I'm sharing everything I have learnt over the last 40 years to show that you can always follow your dream however many obstacles are put in your way.

How long does it take to make a lampshade like this from start to finish?
Hello Susan. I would like to know what, if any, precautions have to be taken against fire. Do you use flame retardant material or spray the material with flame retardant spray? Thank you.
Hi Susan I tried sewing the pieces and that was a disaster.. can you please tell me how to sew it correctly 😢
Where can I find the video on how to sew the pieces with the sewing machine.. thanks
is there a way to pattern match the fabric
Your tips have made my day. We move home at weekend and have chosen a different colour scheme. Leaving me without matching lampshades. Luckiiy i found a stunning huge table runner. Double sided. My plan was to add this on a duvet cover but now can cover the lampshades too!! Only simple 4 side ones to begin with. (We're on an incredibly tiny budget) Thank you so much now on the hunt for a standard lamp and shade. Subscribed as you explain everything so simply even for me ❤
Thank you so very much for such a lovely comment. I am so grateful. Enjoy! xxx
@ you’re so welcome. The runner has beautiful embroidery on both ends of top part so will be using this on my favourite Duvet cover as I said the other is plain but same fabric as DC. Gone to sage green instead of plain cream. When I have a minute to myself as currently unpacking boxes. Move was delayed until Monday. I’m excited to do this x I meant to add I actually have this exact same fabric you have used in this tutorial already in my stash ❤
Hi There Do you run any courses? Your lampshades are lovely Where can I buy the lampshade frames from ? Regards Susan
Hi Susan - I have run courses in the past am am considering them in the future. Keep in touch through the Pantalla facebook page.
Really interesting - thank you
Sra. Susan,muy agradecida por su clase,muy bien explicada,no hablo inglés, pero su video muy bien trabajado paso a paso, me gustó muchísimo, vivo en el último lugar del mundo 🌎 Chile IV Región, Coquimbo,Seguiré viendo sus videos,gracias por compartir sus conocimientos con tanta paciencia, que Dios la siga bendiciendo.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I am glad you found the video easy to follow.
Merci beaucoup pour vos explications claires ...bonne soirée de Bordeaux
How much fabric did you use on this size shade.. thank you 😊
Half a metre would be more than enough for this shade as it's only a 14 inch frame.
Excellent as usual 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent work amazing job ❤😊
Thanks you so much
So amazing.. but that blue baby you got in the back I would love to see you do that one omg ❤
I have a couple of very unusual lampshade frames that I’ve been trying to recover them but I’m not sure exactly how to do it I want to do it in a fiberglass tape material with the gimp but I need to get a primer on how to work with that
Thank you for sharing your techniques! I feel more confident to try and change my lampshade now 🎉
Hi Susan, Lovely video ❤ Was wondering can you use any kind of fabric for lampshades, or does it have to be special fire proof fabrics? 😊
You can use any kind of fabric, Michelle and then spray the finished shade with fire retardant solution - the kind used for upholsterd. Hope this helps.
@@susanscraftcabin Thank you so much for your answer 😊 Helps a lot ☺️🙏
Спасибо за способ снять трафарет и сделать новый чехол на фигурный абажур.
What do you stitch this at, meaning the allowance, since you don't add any due to the bias stretch. I'd think it would pertain to the material, but do you have a norm you stick with? Also, where do you get the shade bases?
Thank You Susan 😊
Beautiful 😍
That’s a fun, funky lampshade. Thank you!
What kind of glue do you use?
Just normal glue gun sticks
Where do u tend to buy your materials/frames from please? Im loving all your work... very impressive
I just search the internet for fabrics. If in the UK there is a link to Homemaking Heaven who supply the frames.
When you learned how to make lampshades did you cover/line the inside of the lamp shade? Does not having a lining shorten the life of the shade? Thank you for your help.
Lining the lampshade is a matter of personal choice and it also depends on the outer fabric.
Beautiful! Thank you!
Thank youI I am now going to recover my shade
I know you did this years ago (and I hope your shoulder is fully mended long before now) but it's still beautiful today. Thank you for a lovely tutorial and the music is perfect 🐝
Thank you Marie, my shoulder is mended and I am painting again.
Lovely job! I’ve watched it twice and the only question that I have is “do you sew the two sections together where they meet on the shade, overlap them or just abut them? Thank you.
Thank you for mentioning that! There is no need to sew the two pieces together - just overlap the chiffon. Goodness me should have remembered to point that out!
❤🎉 Thanks-super! ❤🎉
Thank you too!

Thank You!❤🎉 Super idea!! ❤🎉
You are so welcome!

Love your videos! Thanks for educating me and sharing your talent!
As someone who is new to sewing, I have what might be a silly question: what is the seam allowance you use when sewing the fabric together on the sewing machine? Since the pattern is measured with no excess on the sides, I'm a little scared that I might sew it together wrong Your videos are SO thorough, direct, and helpful and I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of your knowledge with us through these videos, so glad I found your channel!
Just the tiniest amount - half a centimetre because the fabric stretches when cut on the bias.
Thank you for sharing! May I ask if you sew a French seam when you connect the fabric pieces?
No I don't use French seams because you mustn't reduce the side seams by more than half a centimetre. This fabric doesn't fray!
I love your videos! Pls never stop doing this ❤ I love those lamps
Thank you - I will keep making them when I can.
you ard a legend. was lucky to find your channel
Many thanks thank you so much
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Is the fringes silk or nylon?
I think they are polyester
Done up right and proper I’d say. I think even I could do this too. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
You are the only one I found with such a tutorial. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Love your tutorials. I just finished making a lampshade from one of your videos.
Wonderful! send me a pic please
This is so great thank you! May I ask the measurements you take into the seam when sewing the panels together? Great video!
If you cut the fabric on the bias you don't need to allow for a seam allowance.
Чудесная работа! ))
Thank you so much for sharing this info!!! It’s really beautiful!!
You are so welcome!
Wonderfull clear explanation, Thanks a lot!! ❤
Very interesting ..
Hi Susan. You mention when making in velvet that the quality is important and that when lining with velvet to use a 4 way stretch. I wondered if it would be possible for you to share when you purchase your velvet so I can head in right direction? Or at least how to tell quality etc? Thanks 😃 love the tutorials! @susanscraftcabin
I just buy 4 way stretch velvet online - wherever I can find it. Ebay is good
Thank you so much for the clear and concise instructions. Just waiting for supplies to arrive before starting. Can't wait.
Brilliant - can't wait to see your creation Alyson
Bellissima molto brava!!!
