More Projects

Today we've published several new projects, utilizing our embroidery fonts. They're all really interesting, and easy to do. Visit our project gallery to borrow a few ideas for where & how to use embroidery fonts.
This entire project was created by Nancy Athearn from Milton, Florida. Nancy emailed a very detailed instruction for making removable cover for round flat side lamp shade. We just put it here word in word. If your lampshade is in different shape, but still not too complicated for removable cover - you may use the same idea, just think how to make the original pattern in a way that is possible with your lamp shade.And this is what came out at the end - a lovely embroidered lamp shade, and cushion.
