Romantische Lampe für den Nachttisch

Instructions No. 460
Instructions No. 460     Difficulty: Advanced  Working time: 45 Minutes
Homemade with just a few seams: The one of Lampshade this pretty bedside lamp is covered with a fine check fabric for a perfect fit. The pleated hem makes it look like a pretty, gathered skirt.



And this is how it works


Roll the Lampshade over a sheet of paper and make a Stencil, by marking the outline of the lampshade. Transfer this Stencil to the basic fabric of the lamp, cut out the fabric with 0.5 cm seam allowance. For stabilization, iron the Fabric cut on the rough side of the iron-on fleece.

Fold the upper edge of the fabric inwards and fix it with tape. Now the fabric is sewn together to form the cover and the seam allowances are ironed apart.

For the pleated tape from the second fabric, cut a strip of fabric measuring 8 x 132 cm, fold it lengthwise and sew the edges together. Now make 1 cm wide folds at a distance of 2 cm and stitch them to the seam (see photo).
The finished pleat tape is sewn under the main lamp fabric so that the ends meet at the joint edge.

Lay the finished cover over Lampshade , gather up the edge of the cover a little and fix it with a few stitches. Depending on your personal taste, the Lampshade will now be decorated further with serrated braid, bobbin lace, Cords or satin ribbons. Small scatter roses and a bow from Satin ribbon give the certain something (fix it with hot glue).

The lamp base is now colored. With the model shown Acrylic paint was painted in the colour tone Umbra burned with a damp Paint sponge wiped around the lamp base.

Finally connect the lamp base and Lampshade together by fixing the shade with the threaded ring on the lamp base.
