Pretty, dressing table shades might have lace trimmings on organdie or silks, perhaps with some hand embroidery, or floral prints. Trimmings in every colour and pattern are available today – from department stores, card and gift shops, antique stalls or holiday markets.

Slip - over shade covers
These are very simple to make and could be entirely hand sewn. Both for the pleasure of slow making and for the non-machinist. It's always helpful with all hand works to have made a few things beforehand, to understand holding materials together, however none of the processes for this piece is complicated and the instructions are simple. ( It has been well tested, but please let us know if you find this not so and we can help. ) This cover too, is small enough to make on the kitchen table, to pick up and put down. In taking time over it, the whole process of making for yourself becomes relaxation with result..
