That’s great Sabrini!

Thanks for the great job and super quick turn around.

Wow!

It would be great to meet you sometime.
I’m not around this weekend, off on a Jive Weekender! :laughing:

But soon would be good!

P.S. Have you got experience with box cushions?
P.P.S haven’t forgotten about the knitting machine.

Whaaa cool! I use to Lindy hop but I haven’t danced in ages! I’m just happy to have found the place/ :grinning: trying to be helpful! Let me know when you’re around and I can pop in as well.
I can try to make box cushions!

I used to have a job making box cushions
If it helps

Hi Sabrina, this looks great. I have two at home I made also I’ll bring the in this weekend.

Brilliant! :grinning:

Box cushion making would be very useful for some furniture I’m designing. I can do wood, metal and plastic but fabric terrifies me - how hard is it?

its really hard!!!
ive tried a few time and its a really tricky one.

cushions are a doddle.
but well made box cushions and a real pain.

but look great if you get them right and are a real essential for furniture making!

we should look at this as a class to do in the future.

we need to discuss this!!!
:grinning:

i’ve never made box cushions before so not really the right person to teach it… But happy to show how the machines work!

Haha I was going to say easy! At least ones without piping are easy. Just make sure you get your measurements right before you cut. Same as anything really - be accurate, don’t rush and they will come out fine.

That’s a box cushion for sure.
An essential for any budding furniture maker or upholsterer.

And a real pain in the neck to get a quality finish on!

I’ve tried a failed a couple of times.

Zips are easy. Piping is easy. Cutting the bits out is easy. But assembling it was a really fiddle.

A bit like the big table isn’t it? Hahahha
