    Haha, omg you’re my kind of girl! The music was perfect.
    I actually had a feather apocalypse of my own. I already had some down sleeping bags that I made over into (awesome) sofa pillows.
    Somewhere in the midst of the snow drifts of feathers my husband called and wanted to bring his boss over! I just laughed and told them to come at their own risk. They opted to go elsewhere

    Bravo! You must feel great every time you see your sofa. That was a lot of hard work and you should be proud of yourself! Literally, feathering the nest. Btw, it's "taut", no "gh" needed.

    I had an almost feather apocalypse when I dissesembled feather snow pants and vests to turn them into bucket insulators for horse water buckets ( I quickly realized I would have to sew both ends before cutting to prevent feathers spilling everywhere) you were very meticulous and did a great job on your now beautiful couches GOOD JOB!!!

    You did an amazing job! I'm so happy you used those feathers and didn't toss them. I can't imagine how many birds it takes to stuff a couch but, I'm sure it was a lot. :( I'm glad their feathers didn't go to waste.

  • @MsSherrydarling
    @MsSherrydarling 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job!! So much patience! I did cringe a bit when you cut the zipper to just fit the back of the cushion. Taking it around each back corner would have helped a lot when putting foam in😁👍🏻🇨🇦. Lesson learned👍🏻. They look great and super comfy looking too!

  • @jessebradbury2263

    You cute girl! I am an old grandma lady who has lived a lifetime of DIY projects. This is the BEST, BEST, BEST DIY video I have ever watched! Your feather apocalypse had me absolutely crying with both joy and pain and laughter. You have definitely graduated to "master class". Thanks for the great tips and simply for the inspiration to keep going. Beautiful projects, and your home will be full of love and great memories. Love, your new subbie.

    OMG... you're brilliant!.. "feather apocalypse". Hysterical!!! I expect to see you on HGTV before long honey and do it soon because I'm old and the DIY lacquer of a huge ass mirror might be the end of me!!! 😱

  • @Myeverydaywifelife
    @Myeverydaywifelife 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks great! Kudos to you, I don't have that much patience to do all that. Tip: put a broom stick or wooden dowel in the crease of the couch cover it keeps cover from moving around.

    • @Myeverydaywifelife
      @Myeverydaywifelife 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also makes me think for all the work you put into revamp the couch why would anyone pay the ridiculous pottery barn price for the original couch if it was gonna get that disheveled after just a few yrs?

  • @NarratorT
    @NarratorT 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just discovered you. Great Job! One: They should have charged you even less Two: You saw the light at the end of the tunnel Three: You had a plan and it paid off. I have a Basset Sofa I covered in a white Rachel Ashwell Slip and had the back and seat cushions covered by a person on Etsy, it looks amazing. I do pin the arms to tighten them, and it looks great. Upholstery pins are a nice option. I love Ikea's covers because they're gorgeous and the price. Again, great job!
