    This has become my favorite channel in the past few days. I watched the entry wardrobe video yesterday and became so inspired that I picked up $300 worth of supplies to create my own in my closet. In this video, I was expecting the part where you say "then I bought the cushions..." but NO - you MADE your own cushions. I am beyond amazed. Thank you for your channel and your jokes here and there (about furniture getting too big for your small size or not having good relationships with pins...lol).

    • @leahs.6780
      @leahs.6780 3 года назад

      Oh, also, I used to work at a fabric store here in the states. To cut big foam like that, we use an electric knife (like the kind you cut turkey with). It works like a charm!

    Very nice work, Cris! Even if you don't like sewing, you're pretty good at it! I am a bit envious of the Festool Domino thingy - I am still stuck at the small biscuit style fasteners, but they work well enough for me, so that I always shy away from that hefty price tag... It's a bit sad, that you lose access to the small compartment underneath the bed behind the couch, but I guess that was unavoidable to keep the strength of the side walls of the bed. This will be a spectacular apartment, once it is finished! Great job so far!

      Michael Rommel Thank you very much Michael! Yes, it was unavoidable to lose that bottom space but anyway, if I reaaally want, I can still use it to put things I grab once a year or so 😂 and move the sofa away. Cheers!

    Wow, great job.
    You are so clever.
    I have been sewing over 50 years and I loved your trick for using the sticky tape while installing the zippers. I could have really used that idea through the years.
    Thanks 😊
