Fabric Covered Lampshade

I just found this 'How-To' on the HGTV website.  I don't know why I didn't think of this before.  Our living room lampshade  got crushed during the move & I've yet to find a suitable replacement.  Now I'm sure I'll be able to make it just how I want it.

Here's the link, if you'd like to do the same.  It seems pretty easy to me.

Here's some fabric I found so far on http://www.fabric.com/ :

This one is on sale right now for $7.63/yd.













This one is $8.98/yd.  I don't know if I want pink in the room or not though.  But I like the pattern.












I think this is the one.  $6.98/yd.














Of course, I love these too, but not for a lampshade.  Maybe for a throw pillow?  Too bad I can't sew.

This might be nice, but I'm unsure if it would go with the curtains since they are also vertical stripes, but additional colors.












This might be cool too.  $8.98/yd.
