First I sewed the designs onto the front, using a straight stitch close to the edge (photo below). Next I sewed a close zigzag stitch around the edges, covering the straight stitches. Then I held my breath and cut the back layer out. I taped the piece onto the lamp so you can see it (above). I skipped the smaller pieces, which are attached with double-sided adhesive bonding, and then sewn around the edges. This is machine applique, but hand-applique would also be beautiful, and you would treat the back the same way. This avoids layering for a lightweight, flexible top.
