Yesterday I completed the lampshade for my new niece. Elmsley Rose suggested using two colours for the binding, which I hadn’t thought of, and that made me think of using piping with the binding. So, thanks to Elmsley Rose, I ended up using pink binding with green piping.
I wanted the piping to be rather fine, and learned that of the three shops locally where I can get piping cord, only one has the 00 cord that I wanted! Not many people must want such fine piping. I just felt that because it was for a baby’s room, I didn’t want it to be heavy and chunky! And the rest of the design is very delicate, so light and fine suited much better.
The lampshade turned out well, and I’m very happy with it. I hope my six week old niece likes it too. 🙂 I’m sure she’ll form an opinion immediately!

Thanks Jennifer!
This is just gorgeous Yvette. I’m sure your neice will love it the minute she sees it.
Thanks Janie. Being only 6 weeks old, I’m not sure that she has that capacity just yet… 😉
The lampshade is just beautiful!!
