Ok ladies, The tutorial is in the works! Keep letting the comments if you'd like to see one (it'll keep my butt move'en on it) lol. Thanks so much for all the sweet words! Love you guys!!! XOXO Dena

Congrats Bari! So wonderful to be surprised by how many are willing to help!

Oh I remember having a sleep over in our camper! It was such fun...as if we had gone somewhere special even though it was right in our own back yard! Fun!!!

Thank you so much Joan! So much fun to make!

That's too funny Amy!!!

Thanks Kash!!!! XOXO

Thanks so much Toby!

Thanks Linda!! The photo doesn't really do the blue velvet justice. It looks very royal blue and it's more of a vintagey turqoisey color. But yes I loved the white too! Yes this is my work Photo studio, I only have a sewing room too and couldn't fit a couch or even an extra chair in there. :) Can't wait to see the new pattern. :)

oh hahaha. Thanks Jessi! Photoshop is a wonderful thing. ;)

Thanks Lisa! Just go for it. Once you pull it apart you have no choice. lol!

Hey Mo. I found it at this amazing old school upholstery fabric shop in San Francisco. Although they have new owners they have been in business for years and they have some bolts of vintage upholstery velvet. Ughh I spent way to much but I loved the owner she was so excited when I started talking vintage that she kept pulling out things to show me. Like a roll of silver velvet from the 60's. She said that the type of velvet would go on the market for $400-$500 per yard but it had a run/snag along the entire right side (most of it was still useable just not for a big project like a couch) she sold it to me for $30 a yard. Eeeks can't wait to use it on something. :)Thanks for the sweet words about my header photo!

Hi Amy, yep need those cushions. I should never have tried to recover under the gun. lol. I had the studio booked and never made it to get the new cushions but that should be easy enough. :)

Thanks Shannon, I'll post soon!

Thanks Pam!! It needs a little fix'en up but I learned a lot doing it.:)

Thanks Jennifer, I'll post some tips that worked for me as well as what I now realize I should have done different. It definitely needs new cushions and some stretching. The fabric was tight but after being used a bit I see it has loosened a bit.

Thanks Jennifer, I love it too. Could have done a bit better but it was the first time I have ever reupholstered anything. I should have started with something smaller. lol. I'll do a tutorial - ish on it.

Well, I had thoughts of all the uses for the pineapple at the end as well... that is until Steve (husband) Decided to take a big yummy bite only spit it right back out into the sink. Then he made me taste it. yuck! All the pineapple flavor has left the building!! Only the texture and a bit of vodka. So unfortunately I don't think it would be useable for anything. Hope that helps. Let me know when you do make it! http://sugarshop.typepad.com http://rooneysphotography.blogspot.com

OOoh can't wait to see the end result Hope! How fun! XOXOXOXOXOX

What a seriously fun dinner!!! Thanks for linking to my Pineapple Vodka post! Not only did it lead me to your site (LOVE it) but it's been fun to meet some of your readers as well! Can't wait to see how your Pineapple Vodka turned out and to see if it was a hit. XOXO

Let me know how it turns out when you do! http://sugarshop.typepad.com http://rooneysphotography.blogspot.com

OMG! I of course have heard of this show but I had no idea what it was about, never seen it. I had no idea it was from this era. I'm now off to add the first season to my netflix account! See...it was meant to be that you stopped by my blog which lead me to yours to read about this. haha. I'm sure I'll be thanking you later. Let me know if you end up making the Pineapple Vodka. xoxo

Hi Jeanne! Let me know when you do make it! It definitely needs the full 10 days. :) Hope to see ya here again! http://sugarshop.typepad.com http://rooneysphotography.blogspot.com

Hi Lisa, thanks for stopping by! I know, the only downside to this is needing 10 days to do it! Well really 11 days because you have to shop for the ingredients prior to making it. I wanted to make it for Christmas but didn't get it started on time. Hope to see you around here again. :) http://sugarshop.typepad.com http://rooneysphotography.blogspot.com

Thanks as always for your sweet words. :) I'll email you the info. http://sugarshop.typepad.com http://rooneysphotography.blogspot.com
