What Do I Receive in my Kit:
We will send you a full lampshade kit to make a one of kind addition to your interiors that will include everything you need.
Your lampshade will measure 25cm (diameter) x 21cm (height) when its all made up.
You will just need a pair of scissors and your chosen fabric.
For ease, avoid directional prints but if you would like a directional print please bear in mind that the fabric will be used in a “landscape / horizontal” direction so if you have any prints make sure that they are the right way when laid across in this way. Fabric should be cotton (i.e. no stretchy fabric such as t-shirt material or heavy twill fabric).

Embroidery has come a long way since Jane Austin’s heroines would sit and sew in the drawing room – we’ve brought the pastime back with our own modern take on the original. Our beginners embroidery classes in central London teach you all the basic techniques you will need to continue this therapeutic craft at home.
Our beginners embroidery workshops teach you five popular stitches including back stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch and the French knot. You’ll be able to choose a fun design (or a drawing of your own) to embroider yourself using all the new skills you have learnt.
Your embroidery design will stay in the hoop and you can hang it on the wall for show! Once you’ve mastered the skill, you can try napkins, sheets, pillowcases… In fact, there won’t be a soft furnishing in your house left unadorned!
