lamp shade re-do

i picked up a scruffy lamp shade at the GW...

really scruffy!

i cut away her old clothes,

cut a new pattern...

and sewed a new one out of bleached and washed drop cloth.

ta-da!
her night-time look...

and day time look.

 love!

i wanted to be able to throw her dress in the laundry,

so i sewed ties on her,

finished the edges with old lace i had on hand,

and hung the dodads on to keep her skirt in place.

she's a keeper...

for now!

i love Rie's lamp at Home & Harmony -

i really liked the eyelet finish on hers...

h-m-m-m...i do have another shade.

...blessedness!
