My creative 🪡 mind is very firmly set in autumn 🍂 right now and I’ve been sewing with the loveliest chocolate browns, berry reds and terracottas. So it was a joy to be commissioned to create this striped ruffle drum for my lovely customer Pippa | Life at Church Farm ! We found just the right shade of cocoa from the The Pure Edit collection so that these stripes really sing. Love how it looks with the beautiful blues of this living room.

Find your perfect fabric and send me a dm to discuss how I might turn it into a bespoke lampshade for your home, in as little as 3 weeks.

Most of my lampshades are created with a selection of empire and french drum frames that can be recreated in any size you wish. But I also make one-offs! This little vintage, recycled frame is a rectangular shape, suitable for UK table lamps. I think it’s perfect for a cute rechargeable lamp like this brass pillar.

Available now from the lovely Fig Petworth in Sussex, where you can find a selection of my lamps and handsewn lampshades for sale.

If you have a frame that sits perfectly on your lamp but needs a refresh, consider having it refurbished with some pretty, new pleats! In a fabric of your choice.

Not sure I’ve seen a cuter, more autumnal cotton than this rusty coloured gingham weave with a flocked, berry coloured polka dot over the top. I bought this lovely fabric during an (all familiar to my family) city adventure to find the local textiles Mecca. This time in Barcelona 🇪🇸. Ribes & Casals I was in some kind of fabric heaven!

Keep your eyes peeled for a small selection of handsewn lampshades in this lovely cotton, or dm in advance for enquiries.

You can pick up this shade, sewn onto a tall, vintage frame at the wonderful Peach. in Cranleigh, where you will find a collection of my shades for sale.

I’ve tried to organise my website in ways that make sense. If you’re looking for ‘reds & pinks’, ‘ticking stripes’ or ‘ruffles’, you can find them. Similarly I’ve ‘bunched’ 💐 all my floral designs, both sewn to order, and one-off designs, in a collection. This damson features heavily as it is so beautiful. You can order a handsewn lampshade in this fabric as a plain or ruffle drum, with a gorgeous ecru fringe, or as one of my ‘petticoat’ lampshades.

I have definitely been in my classic gingham and stripes era for a while now. These designs are eternal, designed to slot right in with ease. But new florals are coming! I’ll be showcasing new fabrics into the autumn and winter.

In the meantime, send me your own! Bespoke lampshades are my very favourite to make. My lampshades are designed to last a lifetime, an investment to make you smile every time you walk past them x

A sweet little 8” base ruffle drum. Handsewn in a carefully selected teal cotton with matching trim and a creamy cotton lining.

This little lampshade is the perfect size for a small rechargeable lamp in my client’s kitchen. I have very firm opinions about lamps in kitchens - they are essential!

Lamps can happily over-rule uniform kitchen ceiling spot lighting by providing colour, atmosphere and interest. Lamps soften the hardline edges of countertops with texture and cosiness. I’m allergic to the ‘big light’ 💡 in my own kitchen (!) and predictably rely on a series of lamps dotted about instead 🫶🏻.

Find your perfect cotton or linen and commission a pretty, bespoke lampshade for your own kitchen space. Send me a dm and we can talk sizes. Or pop into The Collective in Westerham, where this lampshade was commissioned, to find out more.

Each stitch is mine, handsewn here in the little BL studio in Surrey. Lined with pleated cotton, finished with handmade trim, beautifully wrapped, and sent to you in as little as 3 weeks, lead time dependent.

These cotton gingham empire line shades were made for a Sussex home with both fabric and recycled frames provided. I love how they have turned out for my client. Send me a dm to discuss bespoke, I’d love to help.
