I love how professional-looking your miniatures are. It's like something you can buy off Ikea if they had a miniature section.

[@freetobeme6013]

Why don’t they have a miniature collection? 🤔

[@judietwalpole5640]

From IKEA, not Off*

[@sharonmilesharkins7175]

Stunning! I'm in awe of your work. Your quality is better than most regular size furniture. 😊

FABRIC RECOMMENDATION * Fellow DIYers! I've made a lovely sofa to this video (thanks Cath!!) and would like to advise you against selecting thick fabrics for the upholstery. I chose the kind of fabric that sweatshirts and hoodies are made of (kinda like flock, woven on the outside, woolly on the inside) because the color was perfect. I ended up having edges that are too thick, and some parts around the armrests aren't ideal. Choose the kinds of fabrics that Cath used, ideally I think kitchen placemats will be great as they are thin and the edges don't fray. Best of luck with your creations!

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Wonderful tip!! Thank you!

[@winterhaydn]

Does it have the same type of texture?

[@Pepsi_Please]

Omgosh I'm having a flash back. When I was a kid I made upholstered furniture for my Barbies. Then for girls I babysat, then for my daughter. I REALLY enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@artbarnstudiocreston1916]

Love this! Im an art teacher and currently doing a 'dollhouse' series with kids. I can't wait to show them this video! thank you!

[@sandrasolaligue-perez3606]

Beautiful! It's the exact replica of my son's couch! I will love miniatures til the day I die. 🛋🛋🛋

[@gregslist.criminal4245]

It says in the description it's based off of a couch she bought :D

[@sandrasolaligue-perez3606]

@@gregslist.criminal4245, I have to do this.

[@sunflowerz7813]

Ito make one of these Barbie sized add a extra 7 to 10 inches and make the legs a quarter of an inch! Hope this wuz helpful!

[@kaitlin_artsandcrafts566]

Addison Plays thank you this is!

[@ragazzaguapa]

Thank you! I will make this for BJD 1/4 also

[@dbseamz]

To elaborate: This is in 1/12 scale, or one inch to the foot. Commonly found on dollhouse dolls. Barbie and most similar fashion dolls are approximately 1/6 scale, two inches to the foot. Some dolls (mainly higher end artisan dolls like BJDs) are 1/4 scale, three inches to the foot. Dolls like American Girl and large BJD style dolls such as Smart Doll fall into the 1/3 scale, four inches to the foot. When in doubt, find the measurements for a real sofa (or whatever you're making) in Imperial measurements (or convert from metric). If it's a whole number of feet (example 5ft), just replace each foot with the number of inches (example: for Barbie, 5ft x 2in to the foot = 10in). If it's in inches (example: 18in), then it's easier to just divide it. (example: for AG, 18in x 1/3 = 18/3 = 6in)

[@kristyclinton1594]

Math makes my head hurt. Thank you for doing the calculations to make it 1:6 size.

Hi The Square to Spare, Good day to you. This DIY Miniature Sectional Couch turned out AMAZING, AWESOME, and So Perfect. Excellent Job as always. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, great idea, easy to follow instructions, super creative and fun videos. You always make me smile. Take care, wishing you the very best, and I hope you have a wonderful creative week. Peace & Joy :) like & share as always. Super Amazing and such a fun DIY

[@AngelOfTheLord67]

I am in awe. It is almost upsetting to me how incredibly thorough your work is. Like cute aggression, where something is so cute you want to squeeze it to death? Except this work is so detailed I want to scream. You WOOD STAINED the TINY LEGS???? INCREDIBLE. I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS.

[@the.paige.turner]

It’s like ASMR for your eyes...and her voice is so soft and wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️

[@screamingmimi90]

Your work is so polished and clean. I’ve seen others who do this and when they are done, it just looks sloppy. Yours never looks anything less than perfect.❤️

[@kayzstudios]

screamingmimi90 same! I love this so much! Everyone thinks that diys are super easy there really hard

[@Wolfkins1972]

Hint for the legs: you could cut down chop sticks,they already have that tapered end and would save time 👍 other than that this a beautiful sectional sofa very mid century modern 👍😀

[@jillhbaudhaan]

Toothpicks would be too thin, no?

[@WowUsernameAvailable]

Wow, haven't thought of that and was going to browse the DIY or construction stores in search of couch legs! Thanks for the idea!

[@rinagetsreal6189]

I love that you state thre tufting part is relaxing and therapeutic. It made me laugh and remember it's all PERSPECTIVE. 🤪😁

[@michelleking9662]

I love your voice. So soothing. I’m going to make furniture for my new Pomeranian doggy for his room with your furniture instructions. Thank you very much.

[@ashleyperez5023]

I love your videos I always love that you are so calm and good at doing crafts!

[@mom2rays]

Thank you! I scaled everything up and used sturdier materials and now have the perfect sectional for my smart dolls.

[@RavancheII]

An idea for a touch of realism and to cover up the bottoms of the finished couches, you can get the material that they place on the underside of both real couches and mattresses as well. It's the white gauze like material. It would help hide and corners under the couch once the legs are added. Love your videos! I am recently new to the miniatures and dollhouse building and have been building on to my current dollhouse project. It's a lovely Victorian. I subscribed to your channel and you are such an inspiration to me for making items myself. So far I've been purchasing items that are pre-made with some upgrades that I do myself. It's so relaxing to do these. And I enjoy your wonderful tutorials so much. Thanks for sharing these.❤

[@user-fe3cz7qu2u]

Доброе время суток Всем!!! Очень красиво!!! Аккуратно!!! Просто супер!!! Браво!!!

[@RevElderKnight]

You have been missed. I watch all your demonstrations, and have made all the accessories you have shown. I await patiently for your next project. I'm hoping it won't be long. Louis, USMC get.

[@oOBloodyAllyOo]

Your video inspired me to invest in more crafting materials rather than expensive and not even so pretty looking dollhouse furniture ♥ thanks!

[@ConnieCampbellNana]

I work in half scale, so I took your measurements and cut them in half. So far so good!

[@cjhoyle]

This looks amazing! You're so incredibly talented! Thank you for continuing to make time to produce videos sharing your masterpieces with all of us, they are always so enjoyable to watch.

[@redrobin3667]

I have a Brinca Dada house, empty for years. You inspire me to make some modern furniture that matches the style. Thank you for share your talent.

absolutely amazing! just getting into this hobby and the price of furniture is almost equal to the full size stuff at times! this is wonderful. being a crafter this seems like a good fit for my skill set Thank you for the inspiration!

[@snjnbl]

Thank you so much for the new videos. We missed you so much. My granddaughter and I enjoy watching the beautiful creations you make. You just made our evening, keep up the fantastic work, My granddaughter loves your voice, so do I. Thank you again

[@LunarEleven]

Couple tips... Don't use fabric glue for the pillows. Just sew them. Glue will likely rip apart when you reverse them but even if it doesn't, reversed seams look awful with glue because the line is never razor-edge straight. For the parts that won't show, like when you secure fabric on the underside, use Fabri-tac glue instead of Aleene's. You don't have to wait for it to dry. It's all around better in many ways, but it is very messy and because it's lower viscosity it can soak through layers so I wouldn't use it for conspicuous sections. This is a gorgeous couch, thank you for this! Wish you had been around when I was making a contemporary dollhouse.

[@latte1018]

Absolutely beautiful mini sectional sofa - it's the nicest I've seen. I wish you had the dimensions/measurements for 1/6 scale for Barbies.

[@merryhoppes4246]

Hi Cath, I juststarted to do another sectional. The last time I had to make the chase pillow smaller, otherwise it big. This time I did the measurements on cardboard to put that together first. I found that the chaise back should 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" and the chase seat should 5 1/4" x 3" in order for it to go together right!

[@ManojKumar-md8hp]

It is very very nice sofa I like this
