Default Lampshades, Placemats and Coconut Candy and a Little Chat lol

I have been in a mindless mood again and I love it. Some time ago, a friend gave me a lovely lamp. The kind that you put one of those otte bulbs in. The only things is, it needed a glass shade, the kind that has three screws to screw the shade in. Well I couldn't find a glass shade to fit so I decided to make one as I wanted to use the lamp.

Here is the way I made it. I measured the circumference of the little hole and then just added my own figures for the bottom. I cut four gores of fabric and sewed them together but left one side open. I layed that onto a piece of windowshade interfacing and cut and sewed it to the cloth shade, sewed up the back. Made a cardboard back, cut the hole in and glue fabric on both side and I can now use my lamp.
