I have a predilection for picking up sad lamps off the side of the street that need some love. So here are two more lamps that I have salvaged in the hopes of fixing them up! Please enjoy Steph vs. Lamp round two and have a great holiday break. See you in the new year!

    Could try lining the top with a super sheer / light weight organza or silk if you try making a similar piece. In the future... simply as an addition layer of fabric to add a bit for the modesty factor, not that it seems this piece needed it.

    Hi, I want to start out by saying I like the video it's fun and informative, the outcome is amazing - the colors are vibrant and the idea to be double faced is very cool. Now, as a person that owns more than a 100 VikiSews patterns I want to share my thoughts on the video because the end conclusion had nothing to do with the pattern but the project which are 2 very different things! (in no way am I being mean or saying bad things on purpose or anything) - "very time consuming" - well that's sewing in general; - the width of the fabric - basically it's kinda different in most countries (in my country we have150 cm and 180 to 200 cm) - for the instructions it's actually quite rare to have that detailed of an explanation with photos also the point is to sew it step-by-step (I think); - the fit - girl, they have 4 different heights and a vast array of sizes which again is extremely rare - lastly the size for this specific jacket - the point is to be oversize yes, meaning S/M will fit people with those measurements - also this jacket is supposed to have some type of insulation with the quilt and a lining which is supposed to fill it out more My point is the video is "is this sewing pattern worth your time?" which suggests criticizing/praising the pattern .. not the project you are working on (which you changed and then didn't like the there aren't instructions for the changes you made) Sorry if this is way too long again not being mean the jacket you made is very very very cool with the bias tape and being double sided hope you have more inspiration for future projects ^^

    love this video! i've been sewing a lil over 2 months & until last week, i'd only self drafted or cloned & modified patterns because i started sewing mainly to design ideas i had in my head. then last week, i used a pattern i wanted to modify for a design, AND I LOVED IT! notches were so convenient to use and i'll definitely be including them in my self drafted patterns going forward. and it was so fast & comparatively easy to just use a pattern someone else came up with vs having to do the whole thing from scratch yourself. you really lay out a lot of what i've been feeling about the process - but i'm loving it so far.
