Small sectional recs? We’ve had an IKEA Ektorp sectional FOREVER and it’s time to replace it :( We’ve loved this sofa - it’s low profile, fits in our small living room, and has been easy to clean. It’s cozy and broken in and our family of four can all fit on it. so far in my research I’ve only found sectionals that are sized too big for us, or are more of an L-shaped couch. Please help!! Do you have couch you love? Recs for a suitable replacement for this beloved sofa??

40th birthday gift ideas? A milestone day! I’m thinking bespoke, I’m thinking fun and celebratory (but not cheesy). Doesn’t need to be fancy but maybe kitschy and memorable.

I really want to get better at sewing! I'm a total newbie and the only thing I've done (not very well) is hem a pair of pants and make a little bag. What are some great newbie sewing projects, resources, or some beginner patterns to help hone my skills?
