Three years ago,
we moved into this house without a sofa.
No time for furniture shopping.
Minimalist for easy floor mopping.
Good 'common' space for Jiejie to have lots of play and mess.
The hall is small, so to speak.
Anyway, a living hall without a sofa isn't friendly to my guests.
A year later we saw this in The Green.
Clean cut.
Naturally elegant. IMO.
2-seater,
Simply fit into our humble space.
However, I have to be extra careful when the girls are around.
It's fabric!
It's extremely troublesome to unzip and separate the cover sheet for washing purpose.
Well, Jiejie is old enough to know where not to doodle.
But not Little Bomber who is naively curious to explore anything and everything.
It was just another attempt to sew.
It's fun to dress up the sofa bit. Isn't it?
I mean, it is really a fabric being stitched at the 2 corners and top over the sofa seat.
See what I mean...
See how fun this could be for her?
Peek-a-boo!
It took me a while to find another fabric to "close the loop" seamlessly.
Thought this is tight to be hold at both ends at all time;
easy for me to remove the cover for washing if necessary.
When it is in place, the leafy cover sheet will be tug in and hid under the cushions.
See the tightness of the cover?
I was beaming from ear to ear.
The work revealing.
Trust me, it is tightly tug in and hid under the cushions.
For most of us when we sit down.
The sheet may fold a bit,
coming out a bit.
Different story for my dear fatty SC, the neatly leafy cover will behave like a runaway son after he sits on it.
Crumple, and half of the cover is out from the seat.
Sobbing for tug-in nicely again.
He is warned!
Now, peek-a-boo no more:).
I wanted to continue the sewing on the sofa cushion covers.
But the problem I have now is,
I didn't buy enough fabric!
I went back to Spotlight the other day.
They sold out this colour, particularly!
Very bad luck.
Sigh... need more shopping to find the right match for the leafy sheet...
Hi! Wow! YOu are good in sewing, especialy BIG project (to me), from curtain to sora cover. I dare not to try. So now, what color to u plan to match with....?
ReplyDeletewow wow wow wow
ReplyDeletei cant stop myself to say WOW!
yeelee
It looks gorgeous! What a fantastic job you did!!! I'm already proud being able to sew a button back to my hubby's working shirt :P
ReplyDeleteBtw, thank you for your compliments on my lil' Alyson!
CS,
ReplyDeleteBig is good for my clumsy hand in sewing. It is like siting in the car, holding the steering and driving in the expressway without paying too much attention into tiny detail.
As for the remaining work, I'm clueless to proceed:(. Please share your thought.
Thanks yeelee and Jenny for your compliments. It is a good force for me to work on sewing more:).
Good job. By the way a contrast color might be a good idea too- Maddysmum (for some reason I can't use my google acc to write comment)
ReplyDeleteits neat. Beautiful and neat. Really not easy when we have cloth sofa with lil kids around hor...hehe...at least u found way to cover it up :p
ReplyDeleteOH wow...this is great! U are very good with making big sewing projects...I dont dare to try it with my home couch..so afraid that I will end up wasting fabric or dropping the project half way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yen for your suggestion. I was looking at orange the other day... kind of challenging to picture the sofa in my mind and compare while i was looking at the variety of fabric in Spotlight. haa, another thing i need to learn badly.
ReplyDelete@CN: kids make me find a way to do it:).
@Rachel: maybe it is just silly me who find big is easier... y'know, it is really just straight and straight lines. i wish i have a pair of nifty hands like you:).
Wow, another great sewing project you've done there! I like the leafy prints and satin feel of the fabric, nice choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth:).
