Day 200!!! hot polka lamp

So following on from yesterday I still can't decide what to do with the "Moet Lamp", so I went to another op shop at lunchtime today and bought another two lamp shades (small, simple shaped ones) I thought it might be better for me to try covering my first shade on an easy shape.

op shop hunting (I am going to cover the one on the left tonight)

 making a pattern piece of the lamp's shape

 pattern piece complete

 snip, snip, snip some happy polka dot fabric

 finish the edge neatly with my hot little brother overlocker

 pin inside out, and then stitch on the normal machine

 then "hello mr glue gun!"

 I glued the bottom first, and then snipped around the top to release the fabric tension

and then finally glued the top sections down

 now for the finishing touches...

contrasting blue?

 frilly moulin rouge?

 with a bow?

 moulin rouge, feathers and bling?

Craft out
