No princess has ever had such attention to detail in the construction of her royal bed. This is fantastic, Sarah. Thank you for sharing it with us. 👑

[@tracyrain4941]

I'm always blown away by your attention to detail and this is no exception. Everything is stunning. I want one to play with! Making the bed, rearranging the mattresses, hiding secrets in the drawer, putting the princess in different insomniac poses! Oh my word, the joy would be endless! Thank you so much for sharing your treasures. You are a master. 😊❤

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

I seem to remember there was quite a bit of mattress rearranging in order to get the colour cominations to look right Tracy!

[@elainemarsh2656]

Sarah, this is truly beautiful, and all the plans and diagrams too, interested to know about your engineering background. This stimulates my interest in the world of miniature and I would be interested to know if you ever consider doing an online course in this sort of 3D embroidery. I love it, plus the sketch and workbooks too.❤👍

Hello Sarah!! What a stunningly beautiful & unique work of art!! That’s worthy of a beautiful custom made glass display box - for you home or art studio!! But if you ever have a granddaughter - her bedroom would be a perfect place for her imagination to blossom!! Have you ever considered displaying it in a Children’s Museum or a Historically Beautiful Library?? How proud you must be of this project!! I’m sure everyone in your apprentice class admired this piece as you probably equally admired their pieces!! What a challenging & technical course😱😬😊🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💕!!

I think I should try doing slightly more planning than I do now (but not quite as much as yours!🤭). 😊 Were you allowed to machine sew the mattresses or did you hand sew everything?

Was so excited when I saw you had posted this earlier today that I saved it until tonight so I could enjoy every moment in peace, and what a treat it has truly been, absolutely fascinating and absolutely superb, what a wonderful piece of work, thank you so much for sharing it. Can I ask a question please, is the whole thing "sewn" together, or did you need to glue "any" of it?, thank you.

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

It's all sewn Rebecca which is why I think it's still in good shape after all these years! I did glue the big gold ball on the top but don't tell anyone...:)

[@rebeccat5738]

Oh wow Sarah!, thank you, that's even more amazing, I can only imagine how technically demanding it was to sew all that together so perfectly (I know how totally useless I am with a curved needle!), a totally superb, beautiful piece of work, I really enjoyed learning about it, thank you.

[@karinpope7940]

I’m in awe of the attention to detail but the bed is absolutely worth all that effort👏👏Is the planning extra to the 130-180 hours ?

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

The planning is inlcuded in that time although making the inspiration book at the beginning was probably extra Karin!

[@suzyprice7559]

Incredible work, you should have it on show in a clear box somewhere, seems a shame to hide it away. Saying that though this is the first video of yours I have watched so you may have others on show and can't display all of them!

[@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery]

Thank you for watching Suzy! We have lots more videos (over 200!) so do check those out I'm sure you will find something to interest you. I have approaching somewhere in the order of 300 pieces of embroidery so I definitley need a bigger wall!

[@lornas-w4661]

Golly! Jaw dropping, isn't it. What we can call an heirloom piece. Shame it's in a box instead of played with..... but that's my opinion and I didn't dedicate 181 hours of composition to its creation. Applause....

I edited an unfortunate an error there - didn't mean to erase anything else. Hey ho and thank you again Sarah!
