After months of patiently stalking fb marketplace and Craigslist, I have the velvet Article sectional I have been coveting for my library. Probably the biggest thrift score of the new house at 1/4 regular price.

Also. I started drawing out the plans for the shelves this weekend and we will finalize them and buy materials next weekend! I’m so excited. 30 years of dreaming about my very own library and now it’s going to happen. 🥹

the thing about having a sensitisation condition is that after a lifetime of joking about how women were supposedly overcome by a mere novel and need a fainting couch, I literally can’t read anything too angsty or suspense-filled on the wrong day, or I will in fact be overcome with the vapours

I finally made a bit of progress on the couch today! The back is now tufted, but has yet to be stapled down. One thing I learned is that apparently, the pleats are always meant to face down so that dust doesn't get trapped in the creases. Clever!

The back: I used the foam that was cored out of the button-holes and bobbypins to tie down the buttons. My hope was that the bobbypins would distribute the weight across the foam and keep the buttons from tearing through the backing fabric.

I'm mostly happy with how it looks, but I do think I should have made the distance between the buttons on the fabric a bit shorter. Maybe that would have fixed the wrinkles and made it look more taught. Oh well--I think this is pretty good for my first go at diamond tufting :P

One thing I am pretty proud of is the seam that I had to make in order for the fabric to be wide enough to fit the back. I had it follow the line where the pleat would go so you can't even see it now! My pattern piece:

The seam puckered a bit because the fabric was so tricky to maneuver being so thick and all. Didn't end up mattering in the end, though, once it was all pleated up.
