Sorry about the sound quality at the very beginning of the video, we filmed it with my phone and apparently I was hiding the mic at the beginning.

Where did you get your fabric?

[MiCTLaN74]

@Lorrhea09 At JoAnn Fabrics. Anna's blog post in the description of the video has links to the material on their online store.

We worked on it off and on for a couple of weeks. I probably spent about an hour total on the framework, and Anna probably has about 8 hours total in the 'skin' for the softbox, but she was figuring it out as she went.

Agree with timm2020 for me can't sew if you decided to sell, would like to purchase! Thank you for the video

[timm2020]

Have you thought about selling the clothe part for those who do not know how to sew etc..

I believe you could sell the back part and softbox and make a profit.

Let me know if you do, and I might buy a few.

Thanks
