Welcome to Front Porch Diva!
I take a new, almost new, or vintage lamp shade and strip it down to the bare metal shade frame by taking off any old fabric and fabric lining. I then add new lining and fabric in glorious prints that transform it into a beautiful work of art using prints, stripes or solid colors such as cottons, linens, satin and more. My shades are what I call “soft side” meaning that they are covered in fabric and lined in fabric.
There are all kinds of beautiful shades such as those that have a hard covering and the fabric is laminated to it or some that are covered in fabric without a lining. I looked at other ways to build and design lamp shades and decided that this “soft side” style would be the most challenging and best use of my sewing skills.
I love designing shades for my customers, and technology has really changed the way that we can work together to create that design!
