OMG you make it look soooo easy that I have made a piano and looked just like yours....:) Can't wait to make this, the turn table and more. Love your videos also because you get right to the point and not alot of talking about everything out side of the project, thank you.

I’ve always been fascinated by miniature furniture since I was a young girl, and I never tire of watching you make your beautiful creations. I love it so much. In fact, I think I just decided to permanently devote time to do so. I cannot deny myself any longer! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful designs. You’re wonderful. 💖

You are so amazing!! My sister has dreamed of having a dollhouse since she was a little girl. I've been building a small display one for her 40th as a surprise. Your tutorials have been a HUGE help!! Thank you!

I would have loved having YouTube tutorials like this when I was a kid, I used to make all my Barbie Doll house furniture..and yup, t was pretty wonky looking. Guess I must have figured out what I was doing because I decorate homes professionally now and often create decor furniture when I can't find what I'm looking for in stores. lol. Still, it would have been fun...nice video, thanks!

I love this process video. It is easier to cover everything and then connect them together. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these how to videos. They're super helpful! 😉

Making it now. I couldn't find any of the materials so I decided to change a few. Just a tip. Don't use plywood. It is a lot of extra work. Also, don't use bulky soft material, it gives the couch a puffy look, not what you're going for. If you're like me and do different measurements, try to keep this is mind when buying fabric.

Nice tutorial! You inspired me to try it. I made mine 9" long to seat 3 fashion dolls.
Materials needed:
xacto knife or other sharp blade
-1/4" thick foam core board, 15" x 20" (a pretty standard size)
-thin cotton or polyester batting
-fabric glue (personally, I like Beacon fabric glue; Walmart)
-some kind of lightweight fabric in a color you like - I found a nice piece at the second hand store; I'd suggest getting at least 1/4 yd (I make mistakes...)
-wood stain - optional
1. seat base - cut 2 pcs: 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" rectangle out of foam core board; glue together
2. back - cut another 2 pcs, 6 1/4" x 2 1/4" and glue together
3. arms - cut 4 pcs 2" x 3" (you could cut a long 3" wide pc, then cut four 2" pcs from that) - glue 2 together to make one arm
4. Seat cushions - cut another 4 pcs, 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"; glue 2 together to make one back cushion & the other 2 for the other cushion. (3:28:00) add a bit more batting to the front of each before upholstering for a poofier look.
5. Back cushions - 2 pcs: 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" Do NOT glue these together! (4:00:00 extra batting pc is 8" x 1")
6. 1/4" square dowel - cut 2 pcs to 7 1/4" long
7. 2 pcs of dowel cut two 2 1/2" long pcs
8. Legs - 4 pcs of dowel cut to 1" long
9. (4:40:00) assembling the wooden base and legs
Hope this helps! If there are any errors, please let me know and I will edit.

My daughter just purchased a large dollhouse and wants to make it a 1950's style. This couch will be perfect!!! Great job.

[RainbowTinklesWorld]

[cooldudenibb]

This was a wonderful tutorial! I scaled it up and made a small couch for my bearded dragon :)

[algarete]

Dang girl, what can't you make?!😍 I've made the guitar, an I'm digging it.am glad that I found this channel, cuz now I wanna make a recreation of our home for my daughter, she's 1yrs old, and by the time she gets old enough, it'll be made for her enjoyment and great way to teach about the house too.Keep up the great work, I got my new hobby. 👍😎

[plantsoverpills]

Lovely clean work👍🏻A fun fact?? A long time ago, my mother told me that a good quality couch should always have centre legs for added support so it won’t ultimately sag. Obviously yours never will but maybe for added authenticity. 😉

This looks soooo good and it seems sturdy enough to last a long time. I'm making a miniature set of my favourite show and this helps tremendously. Thank you
