I have been cramming all your tutorials from over the past year, using your ideas with beads to make perfume bottles and the luggage have been such fun. Thank you for sharing your skills.

    Hello Gretchen, the chair turned out really lovely, I love the fabric you chose, and the fringe finished it off beautifully. I think you'll need lots of chairs and a few playpens for the upcoming wedding lol. If every one of your dolls are going to be there,
    Have a wonderful week.

    I've made my fair share of those "sincere" mistakes! They sure are frustrating! I've tried to learn from them. Usually, I plan things to death, but for some reason, when it comes to my dollhouse (which is a tree), I seem to just jump right in.
    At least your chair still came out great.

    Watching the chair pieces come off after gluing..it was like watching myself. UGH! It's SOOO HARD TO WAIT! 🤣 There's so much to do, after all. Wow, that fabric was made for that chair! You really did an expert job centering those stripes. The fringe completes the look! Enjoyed this so much. Your foibles in this video are how 90% of my projects go. You can bet it'll be done - for better or worse, before bedtime! LOL. you're the BEST Gretchen! 🥰✨

You were able to save it! 🥳 Now it looks quite elegant, with no hint of the disaster it used to be. 🥰 You are doing much better with your EGU- it still comes up from time to time, but you are doing much better over all. Don't give up hope for yourself, either. 😊

    Fun vs. Fine, I love it, my philosophy too! I do love Houseworks products, I've got my eye on one of their kits for a flower shop, my next project. I had no idea they once had furniture kits, I'll be looking out for that on eBay. The chair looks fantastic, the stained fringe was just the right touch!

    What a fantastic fix. This is a wonderdul upgrade, I love the fabric you chose, it does like regal. It's lovely. Those spindle come in quite handy and I feel like, although at the time of purchase you're feeling like it is a random buy, but deep down inside you know it's not. And I definitely can relate to working while your tired, but excited to see the finish...while the thinking part of your brain is falling alseep, the anxious part says Im here to finish this, and yet neither can work properly without the other.😂😂❤🥰

    Hi Gretchen, I love the other chair did it come from the same manufacturer as the one you’re working on. I love that we miniaturists have to wing it as each piece is unique and mistakes are inevitable. Wish me luck I’m about to make a tiny staircase with a turn at the bottom have you ever made one? Love your films.

      @littlegretchensworkshop7665  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello there! No l have never made a staircase from scratch. I generally buy staircase kits. I worked on stairway railings for the dress shop but it is incomplete. I'll probably go back to work on it after the wedding. 🤭☺️💖. Re: the chairs- one l repaired in this video was a vintage House works kit. The one with the red upholstery was a mass produced piece l received as a gift. I truly appreciate you for being here and allowing me to share! THANK YOU so much for your feedback! 😊💖💖💖
