Handmade drum lampshade using designer & vintage fabrics. And this one practically leapt into my hands.

I found it tucked amongst the extraordinary fabric collection of a wonderful quilter at a charity stash sale. There were piles upon piles of beautiful textiles she'd collected over a lifetime, each one waiting patiently for someone else to fall in love with it.

And then there was this.  An original length of G.P. & J Baker's Chinese Hydrangea from 1976.

Into my basket it went.

For years I couldn't quite bring myself to cut into it. It was going to become curtains... no, perhaps a dress... no, definitely cushions...

In the end, it simply waited. Which, as it turns out, was exactly the right thing to do, because now it gets to do what it does best, steal the show.

Made by hand as a generous 30cm drum, the deep inky blue linen is scattered with joyful hydrangea blooms, while the sky blue lining gives the whole thing the loveliest soft glow once the lamp is switched on. It's double-sided because beautiful fabrics deserve beautiful insides too.

One of the nicest things about making shades is rescuing fabrics that deserve another chapter. Some are vintage. Some are remnants. Some have travelled halfway across the country after being discovered in charity shops, antique fairs or wonderfully overstuffed sewing rooms. Every one has a story. This just happens to be one of my favourites - not even kidding.

This is the first shade I've ever made from this fabric, and for now it's the only one I'm letting out into the world. I have just a few precious metres left, so if there are any more, they'll be made slowly and in very small numbers.
