The result looks very nice. I have manage to miss the first post to begin with
I have a lamp dug out of storage. The shade is missing, and if I ever find one, it looks like it will be in a charity store. I was hoping the wire frame was still around, but it might not be. I might have to do it my self too, since all of the lamp-shade ladies in this town are either dead or retired. 10 years ago we had at least two different shops, with a rather impressive amount of fabric, finishing ribbon and tassles.
Thanks for the post, it's a good inspiration to get it sorted out.
