Second Hand Couch MAKEOVER! ✨Bouclè Trend ✨ (+FREE Ball Cushion Pattern) | HOUSE SOYBEAN EP 1

[@halfsoybean]

I'm not gonna trash my scissors guys! Seems to be common concern 😂 It still works well cutting other materials, just not fabric. I've already tried sharpening them but the issue is more that the blades have become quite separated! I've got spare craft scissors to keep me going in the meantime

[@sarahbynum97]

Get them look at by a professional scissor sharpener there should be one or two around your local fashion district they might be able to fix the separation issue too

[@crypticlish6717]

I know this is a year old but invest in a pair of sewing scissors and then ONLY use them for fabric and thread etc and nothing else. The scissors you sew with should be scissors you only sew with. Tip I picked up from my mom and nan

[@leahsfieldnotes]

omg the strength, the courage, the vision 😫👏👏👏

[@jjjohn6346]

To sharpen my scissors I cut aluminum foil (typically left over from covering leftovers so I don’t waste new foil) with them and it works like a charm

[@halfsoybean]

I tried all the hacks I found online but the blades became very separated as I pulled on some staples..after a sharpen it's still good for cutting paper, but not fabrics 😭❤️ thank u tho!!

[@sincerelysof]

@@halfsoybean you should’ve used pliers to take of the staples!😥

[@anindirizky5711]

Maybe you can start by trying to sharpen your scissors with a glass cup or glass bottle to keep out the trash.

[@Sweetsweetraven]

Cutest thing ever.

[@lilichong7941]

I can’t believe you pulled this off this is INSANE

[@Ali-xj8lf]

I am HERE for house soybean I am so into interiors content 🙌

[@soleileil]

The couch has such a funky shape... I love it! ❤️

[@zoejeffery3149]

As soon as I saw the nail marks, I was like "THATS A SEX COUCH" 😂😂😂

[@jl-Sp]

My 1st thought exactly when I saw the “before” 🤣 didn’t even see the nail marks yet

[@TheWipal]

ooohh nooo let her enjoy the couch with a clean perspectiveeeee 🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@rennik2255]

And I oop

[@beckie90]

I'm currently in the middle of reupholstering my bed. A staple remover didn't work for me, I'd recommend a tiny screwdriver to loosen the staples and a pair of pliers to pull them out.

[@halfsoybean]

oh damn 😭 i just left mine all in AHAH but taking note for when i do some more re upholstery!! thanks

[@dandaniii04]

A small flat head screwdriver works like a charm, that is what my mom and i used when we were replacing our window screens

[@tokamadoka]

This is probably the most unique sofa I've seen, and now I want one!

[@grayonthewater]

I’m blown away! You could make a business out of revamping couches, seriously this looks like a West Elm $2,000 couch🤩

[@shreeck]

Ngl, if i did this i wouldve been canceling the project as soon as i saw the shaped of the couch, and you did this by your self?! Girll 👏👏

[@nathalie8171]

Bravo! You did an amazing job. Your sofa is 100 % more beautifull the way you did it. It seams more cosy with that color. The black part is named a dust cover what I learn in an other video. Thank you so much to sharing your work. Again great job 👍♥️🙂

[@uberbubble]

I would recommend getting 'kitchen scissors' as well as replacing the fabric ones, I use my kitchen scissors for everything and it will preserve your fabric shears, keeping them safe from the rough stuff. - They're like $20 at woolies and coles.

[@davidbell1747]

As someone with a stupidly heavy coffee table, I find putting socks on two of the legs makes it soo much easier to drag places. (and is funny looking :D )

[@cianap.281]

That couch looks gorgeous after the makeover! Please update us in a year or two, I'd love to know how that fabric holds up. I never know what to look for in an upholstry fabric.

[@ava0536]

It’s looks so cozy, I love it so much!! I never thought reupholstering a couch would be something I could do with my limited sewing skills, but you have given me the inspiration ❤️

[@caitlinw1967]

okay thats insane thats your first time. its literally so satisfying and perfect to look at. no bumps udhguahfa aga so good

[@halfsoybean]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@Grace_x68]

Best affordable scissors is Ginger. Love the couch.

[@Ria-gq5fq]

this is the COOLEST DIY i have ever seen on youtube!

[@halfsoybean]

❤❤❤❤

[@kathleenjayneramos1065]

You are so talented in sewing.

[@lindarosenthal6835]

So cute and cuddly. Nice job.

[@georgewithmore8972]

I've always been interested in modern furniture restoration processes because I've seen cases where they actually look better than they did when they left the factory, in an aesthetic sense. Sometimes people don't know what they're missing by throwing away furniture that may still be in good shape. I have a Bellini sofa from Manhattan Home Design whose technical characteristics I love, and I'd like to be able to restore it myself when necessary. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@beaoliviaislove]

I really recommend Kai fabric scissors. it’s a Japanese brand and they are soooo good. but they are a little expensive, however my teachers say they’ve had theirs for more than 30 years! and I love mine so highly recommend them! 🥰❤️✨

[@chonkerbonkers5496]

Beat scissors ever!

[@minerva5025]

So very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards

[@sweetLemonist]

A Teddy couch? 🤩🤩🤩 My god, never knew how much I needed something like this in my life.

[@FastMisanthrop]

this video was in my recommended and I really enjoyed watching it I didn't know your channel before you seem like such a lovely and creative person, your energy inspires me❤️ instant subscription😊

[@halfsoybean]

Thats so kind omg 🥺 thank u and welcome!! 🥰

[@ji1511]

Yr couch is gorgeous......love it. U did such a good job.

[@lauralopez-reese7116]

Awesome job...and now you have a super unique and modern piece of furniture! You should probably invest in some tools (drill, pliers, staple remover, etc.). So worth it!

[@nandisawh1588]

I'm glad there is measuring and cutting of material in this video, although it is more tracing from the original material, it is still an improvement on the other upholstery videos that don't show measuring or cutting, but only show how they attach the material to the frame.

[@emanuellicosta2378]

Can't wait for this series, i'm sure it will be fun to join you on your decoration journey 💞💞 well done Sharon this couch reformation looks really complicated but you did it flawlessly! 💕💕💕

[@halfsoybean]

Thank you! 🤗

[@marhamdezigns5981]

Just saying thank you for the free pattern, I enjoyed watching your video. And cannot wait to make my pillows.

[@Digi_Danny]

What a nice and delightful video and great job on the couch it looks really nice

[@desrl3434]

You did it so well!

[@zna9183]

you did such a good job!!!! This looks so much comfier than the pleather. did you have to hem the fluffy fabric, or does it also not fray?

[@halfsoybean]

It doesnt really fray luckily!! 😊 thank u so much ❤

[@mariaandreinaguzmanapolina869]

Amazing!!! You are brave! Looks gorgeous!

[@nytd-notyourtargetdemograp438]

Yes! A KZbinr that doesn't have the same generic, tired big box couch! Good job!

[@Lolo_Schmidt]

The sofa is so cute now!! Love the choice of fabric. 😍

[@ArtichokeHunter]

So dedicated! When I had a white vinyl couch shedding bits everywhere, I just took a really big piece of fabric and draped it over, tucking into the spaces between cushions. It didn't look as good but the couch was also not this good to begin with.

[@vibinwithkalei6826]

I recommend Gingher scissors! Super sharp and definitely one of my favorites.

[@itsameliatho]

I was so happy to see you posted a new video!!!!! Excited for this series!

[@jl-Sp]

🥵😍🤩.. when you said “It’s perfect”! I totally agree 👏

[@caitlinrae6509]

[@DetectiveGesicht]

I love how it turned out!

[@Faulinka]

This looks amazing! You really helped me with this video 😅

This video couldn't have come at a greater time! I've just started refurbishing an Edwardian couch suite that I had no idea what to do with the old stuffing. CIRCLE PILLOWS! Motivated to get back into my couch, looking forward to what else your planing on doing!

[@halfsoybean]

WOW! Edwardian couch sounds amazing. Good luck with it & thanks for watching ❤️

[@nommfourteen9312]

I'M OBSESSED, THIS IS GENIUS

[@janinehancock9767]

Hi if aluminum foil doesn't work have them sharpened, places to try are key cutting, cobblers or shops that sell lawn mowers as these usually have the equipment to sharpen blades.

[@nouriakhan2332]

The best fabric scissors, the original orange handle ones by Fiskars! They are a dream and last a lifetime! I am still using my grandmother's pair from the 50's!

[@halfsoybean]

damn counting on this comment! might take the plunge

[@mony.mp4]

love all the plants in the background!

[@NDD710]

Absolutely beautiful!💐💐

[@fryambuter3966]

This is so great! I love seeing the results of you working with what you have, it's so inspiring :)

[@starylize]

i got a pair of fabric scissors from amazon and surprisingly they’re great quality. they better than my rotary cutter. “LIVINGO Premium Tailor Scissors Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose” is the name and they have iridescent blades.

[@reneesmith695]

Amazing! ❤️ Excellent job!

[@poecraven8666]

Tip for the future, or just anyone doing apulstry. If you don't have a staple remover and need to get them out, you can use a flathead screwdriver and any kind of pliers to get them out. At least, it's always worked for me. You could also use a butterknife(if your desprrate and can't get to a store), just make sure i'ts not one you care about and take it slowly because they can bend.

[@shei9051]

Excited for the new series!

[@poppylafond3614]

It’s sooo cute! You did a great job!

[@cathosings1310]

great job! such a cute vibe

[@glitchscribble44]

It turned out great!!! Kinda makes me want to rip off the fabric on my old couch and fix it up

[@Fauxlie]

SO CUTE !!!!

[@Macabrelity]

Would recommend Fiskars scissors, they do scissor sharpeners as well! Love the diy btw, the end result is amazing!

[@Kai-hy1wr]

That couch is beautiful maam!

[@brantleyhart7566]

Coolest Couch EVER##### 💯

[@gabbiehepworthh]

If you already have nice quality shears, you can get them sent for sharpening at Spotlight. Otherwise, the ones with the red handles at spotlight are stunning!

[@niathomas5334]

This is amazing!!!

[@kristywilson13]

Love this makeover!

[@catoftruth1044]

nice! i was thinking of just cover it up with a sofa cover but you uphostered it
