I embroidered this cover for my IKEA lamp. It is on very thin veil type fabric. The design is from Kreations by Kara. I'm sure it was a freebie but I can't find it to link for you. If anyone finds it, please link for others, thanks!

It's very pretty. I take it you repeated the pattern.Tell me since you said your fabric was very thin, what stabilizer did you use? I am going to emb on a hankie that is very thin, look in Community/Embroidery and advise me please....Again, I love how this turned out.-Toogie

I used 2 layers of Vilene. I needed a washaway so it wouldn't show thru on the back. It worked great.
Oh, I did repeat the pattern so it would go around the light.

how do you get the fabric the right size? Mine was too big too fit so I cut it down and made it too small. Do you have measurements or do you just eyeball it ? Any hints or tips?

I put the design on a larger piece of fabric than I need then trim it to fit. I usually finish the top correctly to the design then lay it on the lamp and measure the bottom that length, 9" high is about right. Then I roll the top and bottom edges on my serger. I then lay it right side down on my lamp and pin the back seam so it slides easily on the lamp. I baste this to double check then serge a rolled seam in the back.
I'm going to try again,the last one I ended up gluing fsl to it.

I think that you did a lovely job on this & just wish that this lamp was available in Canada Ikea but alas tis not so I can admire from afar! ~hugs~

I don't think you can get it anymore in the states either.
That's too bad, I'm glad I bought several last time!
I have 6 from my last trip a while ago. There is a round one like a cylinder but it has ridges and cost more

Love the light, the design looks as if imprinted on it similar to etched glass, great job. ;-)

Looks so beautiful and precious. I've made mine the same way: Design right side to the lamp and then fix it with needles so it fits tight and without wrinkles. You can make a cover for the round one the same way and nearly did not see the ridges afterwards if you choose a fabric like mine (a thin ones like yours maybe show them).

PS: In the link is a round lamp :o)

I originally got this covered lamp idea from you, as you will remember! Thanks!
When I see these lamps I always think of Bettina.
