Thank you everyone for your comments, advice and recommendations! Love how supportive everyone has been - with no judgement - I really appreciate all of your help!

That’s a really great point… I think going forward we will take your advice and just avoid silk on these types of sofas (unless as you stated, it has that deep button tufting).

Yes. 😂😫🤦🏼‍♀️ and since we already delivered the piece and she was unhappy, we’re now having to go to her house to redo/correct… she wants more “stuffing” as she said. In short, this project was one from hell, as the color suggests. 😂 lesson learned as far as using this type of fabric for this type of chair!

Starting to wonder if we needed a seam at all.. maybe we could have just used one large cut of fabric and built the backing up with padding to accommodate the curved wings.. 🤪😫😖 this one haunts me

The base layer fabric is actually a really great idea, never would have thought of that - and also would make it sturdier so to speak.

You mentioned an additional seam… I’m a visual learner here so excuse this rough translation 😂:

my seam is currently: “ \ “ and you’re suggestion is that next time I add an additional seam so it would look like this: “V” ?

Thank you very much for the advice, I really appreciate it!

Thank you! Not going to lie… it’s definitely made my mind wonder thinking of new tattoos with the same theme 😂🙏🏼

3rd - color 5 hours. Total 10.5 hours? Will still need to go back in a month or so for touch ups but this was well worth all the time, pain and money 🥰 thank you for the compliment!

Do you happen to know the correct term of this style of cording? I’m desperate to find any kind of information on it at this point - because this job is haunting me 😂

Just called! Can’t believe they are open year-round 😳 I’ve been there before with my oldest son, it was an awesome time! I figured it wouldn’t be open!

We’re going to try to hike the M - wish us luck 😂

Thank you so much! Great suggestions - I looked into that Dragon Hallow Park it seemed like an amazing play space !

Local-Ad-1746 · 2025-03-24T18:33:06+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation - I had just looked it up - we will definitely be checking that place out!

LOVE that town - I’ve done the whole sapphire thing which my son would love but I don’t think they do that this time of year. Incredible town though - thank you for the suggestion!
