A sofa for the cottage living room

It's been awhile, but I've finally managed to make some time for another blog.
I've made this sofa three weeks ago. It has taken me forever to find the right style, design and fabric. I kept doubting myself and changing my mind, so I was very happy when I'd made a choice ;)

I used this semi tutorial from Kitty and Kat Miniatures, but with a few twists of course.

I used Balsa 2,5 mm and 6 mm dowel (not a half dowel) for
the wood base. Mine is not as wide as the one from the tutorial.

Againt the advise I went with a stretchy fabric with an
abstract pattern :) I went through my fabric stash but couldn't
find something fitting for the living room, so I ended up
taking a shirt from my wardrobe. It had been my mothers
at one time, so now it'll be a sofa with memories ;)

I adapted the leg assembly with an extra
piece of Balsa to make it a bit more sturdy.

And gave it an oak stain finish.
It would almost make a nice
coffee table, right? :)

It took some time to figure out which part of the shirt
to use where on the sofa but I love how it turned out.

The back looks totally different, as do the sides, 

Tho photo is a bit too yellow from the candles but
I wanted to give a better look of the leg assembly :)

Moving the sofa around to see where it'll
fit best. Penny has made herself
comfortable already :)

Next piece of furniture will be the coffee table.
