o Note: if the pattern you pick has a larger repeat design bring a larger panel so you can explore your options to optimize the design on your shade.
o Your fabric should be a light to medium weight cotton, linen or polyester cotton. Fabrics with very loose weave, stretch, uneven or shiny surfaces are not suitable. Also, if you have a fabric that has a distinct top and bottom to the design you should know in advance of the workshop what lamp you will be attaching it to. It makes a difference on how you position the rings. The instructor would be glad to hear about your fabric choice or lamps before the workshop to make sure you are well prepped.
