Absolutely beautiful Susan. I have never made a lampshade before, but after watching your tutorial I really feel like I could give it a try. Thank you so much for taking the time to show an easy to follow step by step tutorial on how to make these exquisite shades.
I have a very old fashioned bell shaped lamp shade, and always wondered how you go about covering it, what an eye opener, I never knew that’s how it was done, being such an odd shape… Thank you for your clear instructions, I’m a beginner at all this, but I’m sure I could give it a go…. Thank you… 😊
Susan, your work is amazing! This tutorial is so good! Thanks a lot! I was looking for that for a long time. Other people make lampshades, but these are very simple. But you make works of art. It is superb!!! If it is possible, could you please let me know where you take all this beautiful frames? ❤❤❤
This is stunning. Now to find the framework. Thank you for showing something that looked so daunting into something I could possibly make. May I ask where I could find a smaller size frame from please?
I have an old, silk covered lampshade of my grandmothers that’s on a gorgeous lamp, but the shade’s beginning to really deteriorate. Had thought that I’d have to buy a replacement, but now I feel that I can make another myself! Thank you so very much for your step by step tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow!
Thankyou for your wonderful tutorial on how to make these beautiful shades, I have found it very simple and easy to follow, when I have watched other people I have felt daunted by the prospect but after watching yours I now feel confident to embark on having a go myself 🙂 many thanks
First time I've seen your tutorials and it was so well done, I subscribed. Love your no nonsense approach and directions and I really like your aesthetic. I have been binge watching so many others and only subscribed to you. Thanks so much, Susan. 🙂🦋
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for making an easy to follow tutorial. I have two vintage glass bottom lamps I’ve been wanting new shades for and this is exactly how I will be tackling the project. So lovely of you to share your expertise with us 🖤🖤
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 Susan! Excellent tutorial. I deconstructed my Victorian shade and crown since the Silk shangtung had dry rotted. Cutting the thread with thread cutter was time consuming...1 day. I reused binding tape and braid. Restoring took 6 days. It's beautiful. I can't believe I did this. I've been looking for years for one to restore, with no luck. Shades on line were too expensive and did not look nice. Your info was perfect! I have to figure out how to send you before and after pix.
I saw you doing this shade, so I subscribed, I have one of these in Navy silk with cream trim, which I bought In 1992 and it cost a lot of money then, but it still looks gorgeous even in its new surroundings
Wow... amazing job!! I really can't wait to make one absolutely love the fabric/braid etc I've been looking for a tutorial for so long & then your video just randomly popped up going now to find a crown frame ❤
Hello Mrs Susan. I'm gonna redo a pair of similar shades for a friend, thanks to you. Need advise on other materials, other than velvet, that would be suitable? Is shopping for fabric on a vintage site advisable? So looking forward to hitting some flea markets to find more shades. You made the video so understandable. Thank you from Winnsboro, La
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
What a stunning lampshade. Would you mind recommending where to get a decent velvet that works well with this type of lampshade. Really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge. xx
I made this a while ago so can't remember where I got the velvet. I just shop around online. This velvet I do remember was a heavyweight upholstery velvet. Hope this helps.
Love this chanel , I want to try it, I have some old lamp shades buy I really like to buy those tubular shades you use , where I could buy them? There's a special place for it? I being looking like crazy in Amazon and eBay but failed 😢... My last hope is hobby lobby's
Thank you, very interesting. My only question is why didn't you line the main frame please? Presumably you'd do it in the same way as when lining the crown? Years ago I made shades, but I never machine sewed the panels together, always sewed them on individually. This is much easier and using the cushion to make the pattern is brilliant, wish I'd known that before. Thank you again.
I didn't line this lampshade because the velvet is very heavy and lining it would have prevented more light from shining through. Thank you for your kind coments.
I cannot find the list of items for the video on the downtown abbey shade. I love your tutorials. You make it detailed and simple to follow. I just need to be able to find the frame you used here and the other items to purchased. I did not see this particular frame on the sight listed. Thank you so much. I am eager to follow your design. I love this style of lampshades.
Thank you. I found two beautiful old shades/frames on line. Somewhat larger than the ones you used. They are gorgeous and came with the crown. I am taking off the old fabric and following your tutorial. I am so excited to make them using velvet as well. So glad I came across your video and subscribed. There is no better video for making this type of downtown Abbey shade but yours. The most simple clear demo to follow along with. Again Thanks
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?
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, what types of fabric do you recommend for the lining. I know you used the Japanese kimono silk in this video but are there other suitable options that can be used?
Great tutorial. I made with a velvet but when ready I can see everything inside when turned on. How do I choose the ideal velvet to avoid the transparence? Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for sharing! Very informative and inspiring, I can’t wait to try making my first lampshade! Where is a good place to get the lampshade frames from?
Goodmorning, I love how you teach this beautiful handcrafts. I just want to ask if in case I'll use a thick velvet , there's the risk to have not to much light. And if it's like that, could I use a stronger lamp for have a better light?. Thank you 😊
Susan, your shades are beautiful. Please could you tell me which supplier you get your fringe trim from as its very good quality. A lot of what I see is very sparce, not cut straight and of poor quality. Could you let me know. Xx
You are right it is difficult to find decent fringing - I have the same problem in the UK. The best thing to do is to double the layers to get a heavier fringe.
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.
Your shades are so beautiful and your videos clear. You have inspired me to try make my own. Three questions … First: do you use a particular brand of hot glue (my hobbycraft glue is a bit pants)? Two: if I use a quilting cotton fabric, will it stretch enough over the frame? And finally, I have a sari I’d like to re-purpose. Does fabric like that need special treatment to prevent fraying?
HI Margaret - use industrial strength hot glue, yes the quilting cotton should stretch as will most natural fabrics if cut on the bias and with a sari double stitch the seams. Hope this helps!
Absolutely beautiful. This is the type I've been looking for for my antique standard lamp that I've almost finished repairing (just a little wood filler to go into a split, sanding and staining). However I have a question, mainly because I only have a mobile phone to watch you videos on I think - you say running stitch but do you sew into the batting/batten to keep it in place or do you loop round the frame? Thanks so much for your patience
No seam allowance on the side seams as the fabric needs to stretch so you cut on the bias - you only need a seam allowance on the top and bottom of the pattern - allow 4 cm
Thank you for your incredibly clear demonstration. The pillow patterning technique is absolutely ingenious!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely beautiful Susan. I have never made a lampshade before, but after watching your tutorial I really feel like I could give it a try. Thank you so much for taking the time to show an easy to follow step by step tutorial on how to make these exquisite shades.

17:25 seems this is the important part to make the lampshade look valuable and stylish.

Use a cotton fabric which is very easy to handle.

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.
The pillow pattern method is 👩🍳💋.
Thank you so much for sharing this info!!! It’s really beautiful!!
You are so welcome!
How do you make the dome shaped lamps. Never mind I saw you have a tutorial thanks
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, what types of fabric do you recommend for the lining. I know you used the Japanese kimono silk in this video but are there other suitable options that can be used?

Excellent!
Thank you that was really helpful x
You’re welcome 😊
These are beyond stunning💞.
Thank you so much Diego. I really appreciate that.
Beautiful 😍 please do more ! Like vintage style too 😊

Thank you so much
Great tutorial. I made with a velvet but when ready I can see everything inside when turned on. How do I choose the ideal velvet to avoid the transparence? Thank you so much ❤
I would use upholstery velvet. It's much heavier.
I love this, it’s well explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much …
Stunning.
Stunning Susan! I really would love to make one x
That would be wonderful. Thank you so much for your support I really appreciate it.
Amazing!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!

Lining the lampshade is a matter of personal choice and it also depends on the outer fabric.

Sew into the binding.
@@susanscraftcabin thanks so much. It is because I can only watch it on a phone. Really hard to see small details. Much appreciated. 😊
Hello Susan, please can you tell me the size of the seam. Especially as you dont need to add selvedge. Many thanks
No seam allowance on the side seams as the fabric needs to stretch so you cut on the bias - you only need a seam allowance on the top and bottom of the pattern - allow 4 cm
