Dream a Little Lampshade

$112.00

This is the third in my delightful set of three children’s designs. Dream A Little sets the scene for the frog band to entertain the audience, jitter bugs do their thing on the dance floor, and Miss Mousey, with her sparkling red shoes, dances into the wee hours with her beau. You can choose your own frog prince by adding the crown to whichever of the four happy frogs is your hero! Or maybe Miss Mousey will be the princess for the night!

Embroidered then stitched to a lampshade, the design can also be framed if you prefer. The instructions include the full list of materials, all drawings, full instructions including close-up colour photographs, and instructions for attaching it to a metal-framed lampshade. The design measures approximately 43cm (17 inches) by 22cm (8 1/2 inches). You can add to the design to fit a larger shade if required.

You can also buy a shade kit that fits this design. These shade kits have been put together especially to fit my children’s lampshade set. They are available to purchase from Amore Lampshades.

Purchasing the Printed Panel, Paper Instructions and Charm Pack:

PLEASE NOTE that the lampshade and threads are NOT included. You are NOT buying a lampshade. You are buying instructions and a printed fabric panel to make your own lampshade. Instructions are in English only.

Please read ALL of the description, so you know what you’re getting.

Here is what you get:

  1. The linen-cotton blend fabric, with the design printed on it. The fabric provided is larger than required, to accommodate different-sized lampshade frames, or to make your Dream A Little into whatever you heart desires. Each panel is 55cm (22 inches) by 35cm (14 inches).

  2. The full colour paper instructions, which include the full list of materials, full instructions including close-up colour photographs.

  3. Charm Pack, which includes all beads, sequins, gold crown charm, star charms, metal music notes, tiny red buttons, four merchant & Mills entomology pins, peacock feathers, two squares of Liberty Tana Lawn.

The design measures approximately 43cm (17 inches) by 22cm (8 1/2 inches). You can add to the design by repeating design elements, or shorten it by omitting elements.

The instructions include the full list of materials, photographs including close-up colour photos, all drawings, plus instructions on how to attach the finished embroidery to a metal-framed lampshade.

Please note that a general knowledge of embroidery stitches is assumed.

You can also buy a shade kit that fits this design. These shade kits have been put together especially to fit my children’s lampshade sets. They are available to purchase from Amore Lampshades. I recommend using 20” and 12” stretcher bars while stitching. This design is currently available as a printed panel, charm pack and paper instructions, or as a digital download.

Please read all of the item description, so you know what you’re getting.

The kit includes the fabric panel with the design printed on it, so you are ready to start stitching! It also includes a charm pack, which contains the little things (as listed above). It does NOT include the threads. It is a partial kit, so you can use your own stash of threads, or buy the threads listed in the materials list.

The last photo shows exactly what you get in the pack.

PLEASE NOTE that the lampshade and threads are NOT included.
