    My husband of 19 years now got me a singer when we were dating as a birthday present. It is the laugh of our life since then as to why he got his 23 yr old GF a sewing machine, his excuse is he was great friends with the guy in the local electrical store and this is what they came up with. Getting it I then had to learn how to use it, cos I was never thought this stuff in school. But secretly I am thankful I learned a new skill and it does come in handy, but I still mock him. To this day I don't know if he know I appreciate it!!!! Andrea I understand where you come from, unless you use it everyday you have to relearn and re-practice to get back in the swing of things!!

    You look at your home like a painter looks at a canvas. When it is blank and you look at it often enough the ideas flow. Love the corner. Now, a couple extra chairs that match the look of the bench are placed to the left of the bench and many people can play the games, without pulling chairs from another room. What do you think of that idea? You are an inspiration.

    I just love everything you do Andrea!!!❤ You're truly so talented and Dean is low-key crazy, but hilarious 😂 I do have one useless opinion lol, but I think it would be awesome to extend the bench to the fireplace or adding additional storage at the end of the bench for a more built-in look maybe a cabinet of some sort. ❤ you guys!

  • @carolynratliff1380

    I always use outdoor fabric for a cushion that our kids eat on….Joanne’s has the best selection…..if I use outdoor fabric I won’t have to put a zipper in because it can be wiped right off….maybe this will help for next time…hugs carolyn……it’s so nice that you didn’t have to stop and make a sandwich for someone…..great family!

    • @Edu_Kate
      @Edu_Kate 3 місяці тому +1

      Ooh! Good to know. Last year, a stray cat used my outdoor dining chairs as a scratching pad and ruined them. I'll check out JoAnn's since I now know they have that fabric and the cushion. The shape is tapered so not a size to order ready-made replacement square cushions.

  • @abeerali7834

    Very creative use to a dead corner. Looks fantastic too! So cosy and fun that I want to come and sit there 😍
    The sewing part any project had never been my trade and I don’t know why.
    Although I’m a patient person by nature, I always find sewing extremely boring 😂

  • @karennoble3795
    @karennoble3795 3 місяці тому +3

    This turned out absolutely beautiful. You are probably going to wish you had a firmer or thicker foam pads in your seating. The ones sold at JoAnn will compress quite a bit in a short amount of use. I buy high density foam for my projects from an Etsy seller.

    Hey Andrea' love your fabric choice and the position you chose for the unti in the room' ...I would personally like a shelf at the back where some candles or game book could sit and slanting the back board or make a cusion with a slant. Also I wonder why you didn't make draws under the bench at either end for the games to go in maybe you could cut out two doors and attach them with piano hinges and a latch...just saying...Rozzie...Brisbane...Australia...

    Great job Andrea. I was wondering if you had storage underneath the bench. It doesn't look like you put a hinged top on it. Anyway, it looks nice in that small space; it fills it just perfectly and having a hexigon table makes it easier to get in and out.

    • @lauratruthseekingWarrior

    Great job on the cushions. The corner just finishes off the room! I’ve been through a pinhole in plumbing and a stopped up air conditioner drain pan (in our Houston house) that led to the replacement of really nice oak flooring, some drywall and those annoying fans!

    That is a great idea of that space. Looks great as always. I have sewn many cushions in my day and it IS a lot harder than it looks. Plus I always used a bit of spray adhesive when putting the batting around the foam. It helps keep it in place and won't shift under the fabric when sat on.

    When I needed to make cushions, I used a mattress topper that I cut up. Much cheaper and way more comfortable as it’s thicker and made of memory foam. But I wanted something more substantial. Yours seemed kind of thin, but maybe that’s what you wanted. LOVE the fabric!!
