Scratch-Built Couch

Please forgive my recent absence. My grandmother passed away, so I paused work on the bungalow to help clean out her house.

Inspired by Josje's modern sofa, I wondered if I could make my own for the bungalow. Thankfully, she posted her sofa-making method (I also referred to Pepper's tutorial).

This red velvet two-seater sofa, previously glimpsed in my Minis Modernas contest entry, is meant to be a miniature version of my real-life sofa (well, okay, my sofa folds out into a bed and this one doesn't - now THAT would be a feat).

It does look a bit battered, but so does the real sofa. (Note to self: make throw pillows.)

  3. So sorry to read about your grandmother's passing, it's so hard to lose a loved one.

    The colour of this sofa is wonderful, and it looks very comfy! I think some pillows will really enhance it.

    Thanks so much for your very kind words about my chair makeover, it's very encouraging :)
