- Welcome to my channel! In this week's video, join me on a shopping adventure at the €5 a meter fabric outlet in Newbridge, where I'm hunting for some fab fabrics to create DIY cushions for my living room.
First, I'll take you along as we explore the store and browse its extensive collection of budget-friendly fabrics. The fabric outlet in Newbridge is a hidden gem! So, if you visit, plan for extra time to rummage.
Once I am back home, I'll guide you through a step-by-step tutorial on making custom cushions. I'll demonstrate how to make a cushion, add piping to give them a professional touch, and even show you how to install a zipper for easy maintenance.
Also, I have a tip to share on removing wax from your fireplace.
And finally, I'll reveal the finished look of my living room. You'll get a glimpse into the cosy space I have created, and I hope you enjoy!

Our girl, Catherine! Oh, I'm saving this video to my library! I've always been too scared to try to do a cushion cover with piping, but you actually make it look easy! Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Aww I hope it was helpful 😍😍 thanks for stopping by xx
🇿🇦 me too But I live in the UK ❤
Same!!!
You can do it!
Living room turned out beautifully. The walls were a real accomplishment! You can do anything.
Your cushions look great! A tip for the zipper; if you do a basting stitch right along where the zip will go, it will hold the fabric in place better as you attach the zip, then just remove the basting stitch and you'll have the perfect hidden zip.
This is a great tip and really helpful for people, thanks for sharing x
The final living room transformation is so impressive! I liked it before but the little projects you did really elevated it and tied everything together! Beautiful! And so fresh and cheerful! 🌸
Sometimes it’s about the little touches at the end that make the difference ♥️
Your living room turned out great!! I love the idea of a bench under your window and two sconces over your sofa; both would look amazing!
Catherine, I’ve been wanting to tell you how much you inspire me. I happened upon your channel a few months ago and proceeded to deep dive in to most all your past posts.
Since watching you I’ve been much more attentive to my outdoor plants and flowers.
I also last week repurposed some old kitchen stools using paint, some woodworking and stencils into adorable plant stands for my porch!
I look so forward to you vlogs!
Thank you, Darcy from IL
Awww, that gives me JOY Darcy! Thank you for sharing, supporting and watching! X
The green cushions are so pretty and look lovely in the room.
Congratulations on a job very well done!! I know how hard you worked on those panels! The whole room looks absolutely lovely 💜
Thanks so so much! X
Catherine, your lving room space has turned out so nice! You do really good work and I love that you do the labor yourself. Very well done, my dear!
Your so kind, thank you, I love it x
Piping really makes a big difference in how the pillow cover looks!
Oh how I've missed your sewing & crafty videos. Loved his one! More - please.
You have created such a lovely living space, enhanced with the pretty wallpaper and cushions. 😊
One tip I was given was to completely stitch the seam closed, put your zip on the seam and stitch it and the unpick the seam you sewed first. That should give you a perfect hidden zip. 😊
I do that
Great tip!
Can you show us?
I tried this method it works out perfect x
Absolutely beautiful Catherine, you have done a fantastic job in the lounge. The cushions work very well with the other ones. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
Thanks for watching Leigh 🥰
I love Fabric Outlet. They have amazing fabrics with great value.
It looks beautiful! Hello from The USA 🇺🇸 love your channel! You are so talented you are good at doing so many things. Wish I had your youth to be able to do the many wood projects you do! Never miss your videos!
The piping makes it looks so much smarter !like an expensive bought one 🤗
Catherine, your cushions or (throw pillows) as we call them in the USA turned out absolutely gorgeous!! Your tutorials are so easy to follow along. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents and insights and inspiration. Love everything you do.
Beautiful. And thank you for the piping lesson. I love lamps, especially for reading at night. .
It was a lot of work but so worth it, love the paneling, paint and wallpaper.
Looks fantastic, well done with the piping on cushions everything looks classy.
Your living room looks beautiful. Very posh indeed. And you made a beautiful job of your cushions 💕
I love your videos, thank you to missed a CARRINGTON for suggesting you. I will look forward each week for a new video. Thank you so much.
What incentive you giving me. I am Going to make my own pillow covers. So professional!!!!
I loved your room before, Catherine, but you've given it a really new look - gorgeous 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Brilliant job with the piping Catherine! I always round the corners on my cushions and it reduces the bulk. I use a mug as a template to do this and it always looks good. The whole room looks so comfortable and inviting.
That’s a great hack 😍
Catherine, U did such an amazing job that your living room looks sooo beautiful, love all the updating U did lots of checky thumbs up!!!🫶 😊💗
The pillows turned out great, and your tutorial was very helpful.
Your living room does look 'posh' dear Catherine! I love all of the paneling that you have done an your cushions are really lovely. I appreciate the tutorial, I've made many cushions but none quite like that and now I see why mine never looked like I wanted them to, I am going to make them like this the next time I put a zipper in one. I loved seeing the fabric store! Wow, so many gorgeous fabrics!
Love those cushions Catherine. You're so talented.
It's amazing, I love those fabrics they are so romantic. Great, great job!!!
Oh,my what a great video on making a cushion with a zipper and piping. Thank you so much can’t wait to try it.
and Mrs T Great job on the cushion covers they look lovely well done
Catherine you did a beautiful job love your living room it’s lovely
Love that you have made such an adorable home. Thank you for the how to classes and ideas.
When I lived in Offaly I loved visiting the Fabric Outlet, I’m now in donegal, we have no such places up here. I love your sofa and chair, gorgeous.
Lovely job on the cushions. I can imagine some faux greenery in the window before the Christmas tree. Maybe an olive tree to match the green in wall paper.
Oh Catherine I LOVE your mug! I love hedgehogs 🥹!! Looks a good brew too haha :D! Thankyou for the video 🥰
You did a great job on the room Catherine not that there was anything really wrong with it originally. I love the paneling.
Love a bit of sewing! Covers look fab & a nice contrast to the pink ❤ Gonna have to visit this fabric shop now & I'll prob be there all day 😂
You have beautiful home. And I love your couch 🛋️ 🥰🥰🥰 have a beautiful day. From San Francisco California
Love your sofas,the stool fits in perfectly goes well with your flooring x
Thank you! 😊
It looks lovely Catherine, you did a really good job on the cushions. I’ve made loads of cushions over the years but never fully mastered the piping, the way you did it makes it look doable.
It’s all just practice ♥️♥️ thanks for stopping by! Hope it was helpful xx
I’m feeling a large gold /gilded mirror ? ❤ I love it!!!
A window seat would be cool and extra storage. If you cover a long foam rectangle to make a place to put your feet up and read a book it would be comfy. The area underneath is where you can put your books and slippers.
Beautiful job on the cushions Cathrine
Excellent tutorial on the cushion covers.
Looks beautiful....you're a master carpenter!!
Hi Catherine. I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos, especially the garden ones. Your hair looks so pretty at the start of this video. Have a great day! 😊🌱🍃🌸💐🐦
Hey there, she does have beautiful hair! Wanted to let you know that Catherine has a tutorial in the archives for how she does her hair. Its simple, but effective.
@@DJ-mj3wd Thank you.
That fabric shop!! 😍😍
Wasn't it fab!X.
@@DaintyDiaries ..I could end my days in that shop 😂
You did a great job on your sitting room.
Amazing!!!! Great job Catherine.
love the pillows... love the color...i need to learn how to make the couch slip cover...u know the part ...under... the big couch cushions Especially over the couch arm tips
perfect pillows IMO same color for couch slip cover.
area rug???? soooo many choices.... soft fluffy white ...easy to hand wash
The cushion covers look great Catherine, and ties in perfectly with the room which looks amazing!
I had a suggestion from the Laura Ashley interior designers which I still love over a decade later.
A glimpse of your chimney breast wallpaper seen through the glass of the living room door on your hall wall.
I used the pale green Summer Palace wallpaper which I'm still not bored of.
It's a simple thing but provides a pop of colour on a boring hall wall.
Was looking for the tv then spotted it in the Ikea bookshelf great idea🇨🇾
The cushions are beautiful! ❤Ana
The pillows really make the wall paper pop and tie the whole room together. I'd be tempted to put wallpaper in the frames on the wall, but that's me. Beautiful new pillows. I always wondered how to do piping!!! Thank you!
Catherine you did fabulous job. I luv it!
If you do the window bench using a bookcase on it's side, maybe put it on wheels. That way during Christmas you can move the windiw seat over to in between the lounge seat and fire place as a footstool/coffee table. Using a bookcase means you have cubby holes for storage cubes.
The cushions turned out beautifully! As did your sitting room. Very pretty and posh!😉👍
Lovely, great job❣️💕🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Catherine, that fabric shop is amazing, thanks for taking us along. I love your sofa, the pink is so pretty! Beautiful job on the pillow. Everything looks so cozy. 💝
Thanks so much xxx
Everything is beautiful. You are very talented! ❤
Such a useful tutorial I’m adding it to my sewing wish list which is getting rather long! Sewed my first zipper pouch the other day, way out of my comfort zone!
I had no idea how piping was made. This is new to me. Thank you. How about some greenery in the sitting room? Tall faux fiddly fig or ferns for a bit of height and texture.
Dainty, the room looks great.
Absolutely gorgeous
Your front room look gorgeous! A lovely relaxing space to be! Have a great week! Laura ❤❤❤
Fab video. I have just had a zipper lesson from my niece and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. I have a zipper fear!😁 Now after watching you doing the cushion with a zipper I feel a bit more confident at making cushions with a zipper. Have always done envelope folds but have to think about how to fold everytime. 😕😀 zips hopefully will be easier.
Your living room is such a lovely cozy space. You did so much work and deserve to be proud!! Thanks for sharing 😄
Aw that’s so kind of you thanks so much xx
I truly believe there is nothing you cannot do! The room looks amazing and those cushions are adorable! Enjoy it to the full! You can be proud of yourself and your creativity!
What about a cute little chandelier?😊
You created a beautiful space!❤
That was great will use video for future reference on the pillows thanks 😊
Fabulous video! I loved everything!
ive used a hair drier for wax drips or hot glue mistakes absorb with paper towels etc. excellent for clearing out wax from a candle holder for repurposing... but i do use the iron on a rug etc... love the piping! you have the magic touch crafty catherine♡
What a beautiful job well done you 👏👏
Everything looks lovely 🌹
💕I wish they had decent fabric stores near me💕
Such a stunning space!
I have never seen an easier way to do piping. Thank you 😊. Love you living room transformation 💗
Have a wonderful day 💞
SO glad it was helpful, thanks for watching x
Cushions look great! X
The pillows turned out great! 👍👍👍❤️❤️🐱🐱🌸🌼
I just love your home its so cozy
I was taught to always cut the fabric on the bias for welting or piping. It is much easier to work with .
Yes, this is true
I’m very proud of you too!❤
You did a beautiful job.
Everything looks beautiful ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Looks so pretty.
That came out beautiful ❤
Beautiful.

Another great video. Cushion looks fab. A tip for putting in zips are double sided sewing tape x

Hi Catherine your living room look’s lovely. You made the piping on the cushion look easy, and it finishes off your cushion’s so nice. I might try that next time I make cushion cover’s. Thankyou. I love the the panelling you did a great job. Have a lovely weekend 😊

Hi Catherine, you are a lady that can turn her hand to anything. Nothing phases you. Love the colour of the cushion covers. You did a fabulous job of creating these cushions. Your Living Room is looking stunning. Looking forward to seeing you design the bench area under your living room window x
