So after years of thinking about it, I began to work on 1:6 scale furniture this summer. After sharing some pictures with BlondeActionMan, he encouraged me to share some pictures of my stuff. I should mention, sewing and knitting are not my forte, so my talented mother helped me with the throw pillows and and knitted throw.
I will be selling some of this stuff in the coming weeks, as I work on new designs and variations of existing designs. I will likely use Etsy to sell items.
I have created a little comic so I can showcase my stuff for you guys, enjoy!

My grandparents had an ottoman almost identical to that one... well, larger, obviously... including the "secret storage compartment" inside! When we were kids we thought it was the coolest thing!
That... must have been a long time ago, because I remember playing with my brother and him being small enough to fit inside the ottoman. And of course I sat on top and wouldn't let him out! Fun times! Thanks for jogging my memory.

Well Dal it was you who lit the fire under my backside to get this done! The editing took ages. I feel pretty happy with the outcome. It's been ages since I've made a story.

, It was well worth it! The hosting style was great too! informative and funny! I see Chris is a resident evil fan too . I hope he remembered to lift with his knees when putting the furniture away too

There might be more Resident Evil fan service in works to come.
Much like I swore I'd never have a Phicen doll, I swore I'd never use faceapp for my dolls and figures.
I always felt it took away the charm. I just let curiosity get the better of me, as creepy as I find faceapp'ed dolls. It sort of adds to the pictures.

This furniture is superb, but you know that, right?
Keep them coming

I like faceapp too, tho I am still only using the trial version

Thank you so much! I've got some other ideas in the works, like a chesterfield inspired chair. Lots of trial and error though!

First off I really enjoyed the story. I found it very creative on how to show off the furniture that you’v made. I’m really liking these sofas
I could furnish a small scene with my elderly mam figures with your furniture. Thank you very much for sharing.

Thanks Prof Gangreen Fan!
Well the good news is, for the "old school cool" sofas, I still have about 4 to 5 meters of that fabric, so there is a lot more to come. I'm sure I'll sell some of what I make as space is an issue.

Very impressive pieces Sarah, some nice work there.
Those sofas are perfect for 1/6 HQ's
Looking forward to seeing what else you make and which pieces you will be selling.

Thanks Beatlefan!
I could totally imagine the little brown skirted one being used in VAM, or Adventure Team HQ. I was going for that 1970's look. Initially this was going to be all moldy with paint and moss, with tears and damage for my S.T.A.L.K.E.R's (from my life in the zone post) to use. Like they found it in a derelict building in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and it works as a bed for the night. But then I thought I'd make a sister couch.. the i liked them too much to damage them.
I've got other stuff in the pipeline, including a bed and mattress set that will be a collaboration with my mum who sews.
