These french blue linen lamp shades I made this week as a special order. The customer actually gave me a linen skirt that she picked up at a thrift store. Just goes to show that sometimes you need to think outside the box. Instead of going to her local fabric shop she saw potential in this skirt.

Those are GORGEOUS!
I am always on the lookout for "fabric" in the form of clothing at my local thrift store! She made a great choice, and you did a lovely job!

I made over a shade with a skirt and it looks fantastic,i thought it was just me,

Beautiful shades; like the idea of re-using fabric from clothing to do them; I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I'm out at my local Goodwill stores! Those lamp bases are gorgeous too!!

Wow, that color is stunning, I would love to see this woman's home. Maybe she can send some pictures out with them in it.... now that would be pretty cool. Yes, going to places like that is the way to go and also to get some great trim or even buttons off of tops or whatever. Later in the week I'm going to post a lampshade by thinking out of the box. Sandi, you did a wonderful great job with these. Man they look beautiful!!
Have a Wonderful Evening*
Fabulous!!!
I love these Sandy, such a beautiful shade of blue!

Sweet Up-North Morninga...
Sandy-Those are just gorgeous. You did a wonderful job on them. I will have to go back a bit through your posts to see if you stitch or glue them on. Whatever you do-it is very professional looking. Kudos-Diana
They look lovely Sandy, and that blue linen is gorgeous. Another fabulous job as usual! K xx
These lamps are gorgeous, I love the soft blue. So much the better when you know how she found the fabric!
You've done an amazing job, but I especially like the recycling of a skirt to make lamps. Very nifty!
i just love this style! i would spend every day (rainy and sunny) in interiors like this!
have a sweet tuesday,

Absolutely lovely!
Those are so pretty and feminine. What a lovely shade of blue. How clever to use a skirt!
Those are the prettiness lamps and shades I have ever seen. Love that they are "upcycled". Wow.

You are so clever Sandy, the lampshades are just beautiful. What a clever idea to use an old skirt. I posted about the lamp that I won from your giveaway. I am sorry it took me so long to mention it but I am very pleased with it. Thank you for the lamp and for your lovely comments. xx
Gorgeous. Was it a Trent Nathan skirt by any chance? I have an old linen one in that exact shade of blue - too old to keep wearing but too nice to chuck! I'm looking at it with different eyes now though! Cheers x
Wow - they were a skirt??!! How gorgeous do they look now. How very clever and inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Michelle
Those lamps are awesome!! What a great find for her! Beautiful work on the shades :)
Wow! You made those they are beautiful, I too want some.~Cheers Kim
O ... what a gorgeous colour Sandy!
Once again your work is faultless...they are so pretty.
Kindest Wishes
