Corgi Fainting Couch: Making a Miniature Victorian Sofa // History-bounding for Dogs

[@lenka3393]

Came for the war time knitting, staying for the overall crafty over-the-top-ness. I regret nothing.

[@ShannonMakes]

"crafty over-the-top-ness" should be my working motto... thank you for those lovely words, it's everything I dream of reading in my comments section!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Wow! Fantastic! You two are so motivated and hardworking. A beautiful couch for Her Royal Hairyness.

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you so much! Yea, her majesty definitely approves!!

[@karenkettering1725]

The button tufting was the icing on the cake, so to speak. Incredibly impressive.

[@SewBiased]

So many things I love about this video: 1. That both you and Phil work on the floor in a half split 2. Me watching the gold go on, and commenting to myself how much better it would look with some aging, and then being so excited when you started to apply the aging 3. Canelle supervising the whole process 4. Watching her fall asleep on the couch at the end was so adorable

[@ShannonMakes]

Haha, I showed your comment to Phil, as it's a fairly regular "let's work on something together" position for us! Also HECK YES to the weathering (one of my favorite parts)! And yes, Cannelle was the client/head supervisor/design consultant/napper-in-chief all in one! So glad you enjoyed it

[@marshawargo7238]

It looked like Cannelle was trying all of the different sleeping options to compare with the final project results😮!!!❤

[@spikeyspoems]

At the start of the video I found myself wondering what kind of bicycle lets you haul something like that home, but after seeing all the effort you put in, that's the least of my questions 🙂

[@ShannonMakes]

Hah! What a legit question... definitely a cargo bike. They're an absolute staple here in Copenhagen (at least for a serial upcycler like myself)!

[@Murky_Heron]

Cargo bikes are something specific to Denmark) They're called christiania bikes. Useful for parents with small children)

[@elmarklaus]

​@@Murky_Heron cargo bikes also exist elsewhere, Germany has a lot of them in some areas too!

[@Ice_Bear_Quilts]

@@Murky_Heron They are also very common in the Netherlands!

[@charischannah]

Now I want to make a tiny couch for my gecko. Not sure she'd even use it, but hey, it still might be a fun project.

[@ShannonMakes]

ok, but that'd make for some *ADORABLE* photos!

[@byusaranicole]

Holy crap. That's the cutest thing I've seen in my life (except maybe my human babies, but whatever)!!

[@ShannonMakes]

Awww, thank you! And yes, it's so fricking cute... Cannelle loves it!

[@susansernaker7003]

I can't wait to show this to my boyfriend. He's gonna want to make one for his cat 😂😍 Fantastic job!

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you! I certainly hope that he's inspired to make a royal cat bed (although whether said cat will, in fact, use it, is another question 😂😂)

[@marshawargo7238]

If it is on high enough stilts, it's a given😊! Because cats like to be high up in order to see an enemy in advance😂! Purr-haps a bit of nip in the stuffing may help😮?❤

[@aquaaurora2747]

So cool to see you take the couch apart and reveal the old layers of fabric. The 'pea soup green" was probably a more vibrant green -closer to evergreen shades in its hayday. Haha hay.. its also cool that the hay did not look super moldy after a hundred years in there I was lucky enough to get my hands on a free antique couch put out for trash as well in early 2020! Was very lucky as it went out after a rain not before. It spent 2 months in my garage because this area has a beg bug problem-was inspected and passed with no pests or mold issues so now it sits in my sewing room! My dogs like to sleep on it while I'm in here. I put an old quilt blanket on it so they don't wear out the fabric. The only thing is the fabric is pink.. and I don't particularly like pink.. but I've gotten use to it.

[@ShannonMakes]

Hay-day.... LOL. Love it! Also, awesome find on your part as well. Montreal also has a bedbug problem, so it's good you got it checked out, but I'm glad the dogs get some use out of it too! Agreed that pink is not my color of choice either, but for a (free) antique.... worth it!

[@jankk]

NGL, I gasped when I saw the pea soup green because I thought it was so lovely. It must have been a gorgeous piece when it was new.

[@heathermclaren9506]

Corgis, couches and cargo bikes... oh my 😅 I wouldn't say your construction montage simplified the process, it still looked like a heck of a lot of work! Amazing job, this was incredible 🙌

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! (and if you saw all the parts I cut out for the sake of everyone's sanity and attention spans, you'd understood what I meant 🤣🤣) And yes, it was a TON of work, but it was fun work!

[@The_momur]

I’m so glad I found you. My bunny boy just saw this and asked me to make him one. I think black or purple velvet would be so nice against his white Floof.

[@ShannonMakes]

I'm very glad you enjoyed the video!! It's not all corgi-centered content here (unfortunately 🤣), but Cannelle does pretty much always make a cameo in the my projects, since she's a huge part of my life! And absolutely, black or purple velvet would be very grand... purple, clearly, is very regal, and black is quite classy (but maybe shows shed fur more?)!!

[@jackiejames4551]

It's beautiful and Canel looks like the regal creature we always knew she was.

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you! (this was not, in fact, the aforementioned video that I thought you especially would like; my upload schedule got all wonky lately, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless)

[@jackiejames4551]

@@ShannonMakes I have to admit, I was a bit surprised when this one showed up, I thought maybe I missed the fireplace video, so I went and checked the playlist, and nope, I still have that to look forward to. So, YAY!!

[@ShannonMakes]

It is sitting in my basement, roughly 90% done, taunting me because it's just so much work to film with the silly leg and crutches!!! Hopefully that'll be next up though 🤞🤞

[@jackiejames4551]

@@ShannonMakes hope you get better soon. No rush on the video, it gives me something to look forward to.

[@Schatzie301]

Canelle is the sweetest dog ever. I love how she is always with you and that Corgi Fainting couch is just beyond brilliant. Such a great and professional job.

[@ShannonMakes]

Thanks so much!!

[@haakdraakje]

So cute to see Canelle napping while you two put in the hard work ♡

[@MiahGrace]

"what started as an offhand coment became a full project" Costube in a nutshell XD

[@ShannonMakes]

This is SO true. wow. how did I not see that.... XD

[@thanhthuy624]

I would love to live as your neighbor. I would be that next door kid who would ask to help you with all your project. I learn so much abou creative problem solving from watching your video! I got here from historical sewing side but I'm glad to see mofe than just sewing.

[@ShannonMakes]

That would be A-OK with me, because that'd also mean one less neighbor using power tools that I have to work around when recording 😂😂🪚

[@Bornahorse]

If you said you spent $3,000 on this couch at a high-end dog furniture store, I would have believed you. Absolutely fantastic job!!

[@ShannonMakes]

Yea, I definitely figured I could probably sell it at the end of my contract, if I couldn't find a way to get it back home with me! XD

[@heavenleighbliss]

I honestly don't know what category to put this in except stunning and amazing

[@ShannonMakes]

Why thank you!!

[@thizizliz]

She DEFINITELY likes it. You can tell she knows it belongs to her. I hope she is grateful for all the time she put into training you two. 😅

[@Ice_Bear_Quilts]

This is both ridiculous and sublime! I love it, great job Shannon and Phil! I think my dog would literally swoon if presented with such a beautiful custom-made piece of furniture! 10 out if 10!

[@ShannonMakes]

I would pay good money to see a dog swoon… 😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it so much!!

[@zeitgeistwoman]

the metal plates that were on the salvage couch are called mending brackets or mending plates. That, and “L” brackets have been my friend in many a furniture repair! And it extended the life of the couch 🛋️ to the moment that you found it! I love it when solid furniture discarded on the street gets a new life! And i’m sure this video will inspire others to make their furry queens 🫅 and kings 👑a plush place to plop down for a nap 💤!

[@ShannonMakes]

Yes, I used them on my sewing table build as well 🥰🥰

[@sid4791]

If I took a year to make on of these in the UK. My German Shepherd would take a day to eat it!!! Very brave 👏

Now I would like to make one for cats. I wonder how to convert this into a bunk bed. A high-rise bed- 5 folors...

[@ShannonMakes]

I'm sure there are some cool images online for cat bunk-beds that could give some great starting points for inspiration!! 🐈

very loved and adored!!

[@tracye9654]

What a trooper he is! I love that he managed to figure out how to attach a love seat to the front of the bike and ride it all the way home. The only thing that could have made that scene better is if you were sitting on the sofa during that ride. I imagine he received some crazy looks on his way home!🤣

So cute!!!! Always wanted to have a fainting couch and this mini version is absolutely stunning!

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you!! 😊

[@adedow1333]

Phil! We need more Phil! Canel is a delight as always, and this fainting couch is so fabulously extra! I love watching you repurpose things! I'm currently arguing with various patterns to make my creamy velvet bathrobe. I've finished enough of my previous projects that (inhale for dramatic effect) it is time.

[@ShannonMakes]

I will pass the word along to Phil, his guest appearances are always a big hit! And yay for bathrobe time... you perfectly nailed the styling/inflection of that last sentence. I can just *hear* it being said, and I KNOW that feeling!!

[@Stormandfire]

That hay may not be hay/straw, but wood wool! So the couch was very likely an antique.

[@ShannonMakes]

Yea, when I looked into it a bit further, I think it probably was excelsior/wood wool! And just by the way it was constructed, I think it almost definitely was an antique (but also in pretty crappy condition)!

[@camille_la_chenille]

I actually squeaked aloud at the final result! I am not overly fond of dogs as a rule but your corgi is the CUTEST and she looks so comfy on her royal couch. The recycling and building process was very impressive too!

[@ShannonMakes]

You're the second person to tell me today that they physically uttered a noise at the final result!! Maybe you like Cannelle because she's basically a cat in a dog suit? 😺 And yes, she does enjoy her bespoke throne!! Thanks for watching

[@kristilucia3491]

Just watched this now, in Jan 2025, because you linked the video! ❤ to see what you were up to 3 yrs ago, and I have even more respect & appreciation for your boss craftsmanship!!

Thanks for checking it out! 🥰

[@morganpresley496]

omg this is amazing!!!!! the 3d printed molding really elevated the final look of the couch!

[@ShannonMakes]

Right?! I have a very conflicted relationship with 3D printing and don't love creating more plastic when there's already so much in the environment, but using it as little additions to a larger project can really just give it that extra pop and customization that's absolutely perfect!!

[@kaytiej8311]

So wonderful to see you both working together on this project.

[@rd6203]

Duuuuuude! Wow! So good! You guys did an absolutely amazing job! When you were like "doesn't look like much for four days" I was like "That only took four days are you frikken kidding me!!" I love your montages.... you really have a knack for getting everything in there, not too fast to catch but not too slow to lose me, either. It's always cool when your co-stars put in appearances, so cheers to Phil, Cannelle and *that glorious green plaid jacket!* 💚💚💚

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank youuuuu! Also I'm glad you like my montage... I sit there and tweak them for *goodness knows* how long (and still, this video coming in at 26 mins, I was a bit concerned about length). There was some ruthless cutting room floor action happening here, I think some nice stuff got left out, but you gotta kill your darlings (maybe I'll do a little Live-style chat about the project at some point, to work all those details in). Yes, I also love that green jacket! I'm thinking about making it into a vest so that I wear it more? But it also fits pretty well as-is, so maybe I just need to actually WEAR IT MORE? #decisions

Wowowowowowow. I would be very good money that the green fabric you unearthed has arsenic dye on it. That is an old, old couch. What a good find. I'm glad you were able to give her a second life. Although I personally would have tried to reconstruct the original couch for myself. But I'm sure Canelle needs this more than me. 😂 Edit: The finished product is so cute!! I'm so glad she loves it and it was truly a labor of love and so much labor at that. I love the gold and I'm so glad you were able to reuse the piping.

[@ShannonMakes]

I did definitely toy with the idea of rehabbing it for myself, but honestly... it wasn't my house, I knew we were leaving the continent in a few months and that I couldn't bring it with me, that I was lacking ALL of the tools to do the job properly (and that I wasn't willing to buy them just for this project, especially when, again, I'd be leaving them behind in a few months), plus I'd have been really lacking fabric, and I thought it was kinda fun to reuse the original fabric on the miniature... so many things went into the final decision, and I 100% don't regret it, because I was able to bring the mini version with me back to Montreal, when the full sized one DEF would have had to stay in Denmark!

She's quite spoiled, but then again, so are your granddoggers I'm sure! Thanks for watching, I've got a few others on the channel that are corgi-specific (she just won a Paw-lloween costume contest a few weeks ago), and otherwise the rest are mostly sewing and crafting!!

Beautiful for a beautiful little doggy 👍

Thank you 🥰

What a genius you are. I love it. I think you could do anything you set your mind to. Both of you did a beautiful job. By the way, I just love your sweet fur baby. God bless.😊❤❤

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you! And yes, the fur baby is just the best!!

Not me brainstorming how to make one for the rabbits.... I love this walkthrough! Great work

[@ShannonMakes]

Omg, that’d be absolutely adorable! And much easier on the fabric stash 😝

[@chriswhite2387]

Amazing! Not only the finished result, but also the number of different steps and the fact that you didn't give up over all those months. Well done.

[@ShannonMakes]

Thank you so much!

The most, rightfully, spoiled pup.

[@ShannonMakes]

And does she know it!? (yes, yes she does) And does she appreciate it? (no, no she doesn't XD)
