CAUTION: Do not try this at home. Somehow I managed to stitch this by machine without even breaking a needle. If I haven’t mentioned it before, I have a strong aversion to hand sewing.
If you want to try this, I would suggest doing a sample bit on the back of the lampshade to get the tension correct and make sure that you aren’t going to break your machine! I used a paper lampshade, had to decrease the tension, and went around very, very slowly. Oh, and you’ll need to load the thread color you want into the bobbin as you’ll be sewing on the reverse side.
wow…that’s impressive! And beautiful.
I love the way this looks – so clean and simple, but it really adds that extra je ne sais quoi.
That is an incredible feat! I applaud you for your stubbornness.
this is amazing…and beautiful too. i’m trying to imagine, you, the sewing machine, the lamp shade…quite a picture!
Wow, that’s awesome!!! I am so trying that when I get home 🙂
