Lampshades: Plain and Embroidered

A guide to making lampshades. All aspects are covered, from choosing the shape and estimating the amount of material required, through making the pattern and preparing the frame, to lining and decorating the shade with embroidery, pleating and trimmings. There are sections on colours and tools, and how to deal confidently with more unusual or complicated shapes. A handy step-by-step resume of all that is involved in the construction of a lampshade completes the book.
