Hello Lovelies, here's a little vlog, my first in fact! Its an insight into a day in the life being a business owner and also being a regular expert on the BBC's and Netflix USA's The Repair Shop.
**𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝕒𝕞 𝕀???**
Im Sonnaz and I run a business making exquisite bespoke upholstery and soft furnishings for residential, commercial and yacht interiors 🧵also I am the upholstery expert on NETFLIX US and BBC 1's The Repair Shop 📺. Myself and my team are Dorset based and I spend my time creating amazing, plumptious pieces and breathing new life into treasured items too! I am a strong believer in sustainability, making great and making once and looking after our little planet 🌍. SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this! 🎥
**𝕄𝕪 𝔾𝕠𝕒𝕝**
My goal here on CZcams is to inspire you to create, repair or maintain things in a sustainable, planet conscious way - all the while learning where things REALLY come from! I hope to build a little community of planet-conscious, craftsmanship loving people who love upholstery, interiors and attention to detail and to share ideas. I hope we can all learn together.

Thanks for doing these, they are a great behind the scenes look. When watching the show lately I find myself wanting to see more of the actual craft as the editing seems now to concentrate more on the people’s stories. I get that the emotion gets the wider audience, but I think a lot of we viewers want to see more of you experienced craftspeople doing your work and how you deal with the challenges of the restorations.
Thank for watching and hopefully I’ll be able to share more of the projects I work on and the craft on here. Thanks again, Sonnaz
Love it! Your skills & art ,like all master’s of craft, you make it look easy & fun !it’s like ya! I would & could that ! We don’t see all the years & hard work
“The Price to Pay” to get to the level of your Success!! Blessing’s on you!!! A pleasure in life!
I love The Repair Shop! I'm in western Colorado, and have been watching the show for a few years now. I am impressed with the quality of work and dedication to you're individual crafts! Sonnaz, you have done some incredible work and I find myself becoming a real fan! I think that I relate to Dom and Steve, as they are both mechanically inclined however Will's woodworking skills are second to none, and Suzie and Lucias work just amazes me. I could go on all day, but I will just say that I can't get enough of the show and please know that there are many fans over here in the States that love your work!!
Ahh thanks so much for watching!
I loved it Sonnaz! Your work is so inspiring, you take the time to enjoy the beauty around you, cheers!
I love your work you are AWSOME . and I love watching the repair shop.
Retired after a lifetime working in Payroll and Computer Software, I am in awe of and fascinated watching skilled crafters like yourself at work transforming and creating items of sheer perfection. Hooked on watching every episode of The Repair Shop and enjoy looking into your world of work. Looking forward to watching more of your projects.
Aww bless you thank you so much ☺️ 🙏🏻
that was lovely. As my beloved says, "dont change. you're perfect as you are!"
My young daughter loves your channel & records The Repair Shop. Thank you Sonnaz, more please.
Aww bless her - thanks so much - more to come 🥳🙏🏻
Love the Vlog Sonnaz. Love watching "the repair shop" too. You are all toally amazing in the work shop.
Loved your blog, my husband and I watch The repairshop every night here in Canada. Your blog added so much more, being able to see the beautiful countryside.
What a great Vlog from a beautifully talented lady love the repair shop
Thank you very.much for the vlog. I love watching the repair shop,the love people have for restoring precious items, the happiness of the people who see their precious item having a new live again. You are very talented and a real people person and a vlogger for the look inside.warm greetings from the Netherlands
Like the vlog idea, I think it's working well, so is the camera.
The shots we see of the barn area in the show look stunning too.
Always interesting to see what others get up to on the daily. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyable video. I'm a huge repair shop fan so that was cool to see.
oh great - I'm glad you enjoyed it :) thanks for the feedback - more to come
such a big fan of yours and the repair shop. My all time fave show. Makes me cry everytime I watch. Keep up the good work
Loved this insight into your work both in your own professional life and the Repair shop. Great vlog Sonnaz.
Love your vlog. You are so incredibly talented. I am in Orlando Florida. I find myself rewatching the show often and the cuts on CZcams. Can’t wait for the next season on Netflix. Wish I could get the past series here This is such a feel good show and you are a phenomenal part.
Great vlog! Lovely to see what life's like for you - can't wait to see more! :)
Oh brilliant, glad you enjoyed it ☺️🙏🏻
An excellently produced and absolutely delightful insight into both your own work and preparation for filming at The Repair Shop in the stunning English countryside. You're such a down to earth and engaging presenter and I'm looking forward to more episodes.
That is so kind thank you so much ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed it !
Really appreciate this video and hopefully many more to come.thanks
Love your live wow behind the scene awesome!
More please! So interesting. The location of The Repair Shop is just 👌
More are planned! Thanks for your feedback. Yes the location is very special I must say 🌲 🍃 🦆
Thanks for the lovely scenes behind your normal days working please keep it up and thank you for such a fantastic program
Am speechless. What a delight! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Sonnaz, thought your vlog was amazing, you're so natural in the way you come across and explain things in your way. It was very informative and revealing of your everyday life, please keep them coming, I very much look forward to watching the next episode.
That’s great to hear thank you - more to come ☺️
What a fantastic video, reminds me of the time I started with my own engineering company, all the very best for the future, no matter how successful you become keep this down to earth attitude.
Great vlog, Sonnaz! 😜👍😍🇦🇺
A day in the life, so inspiring video sister, thanks for sharing watching from Singapore. Superlikes and fw. cheers!
Apologies for the late feedback/comments. I just love watching The Repair Shop, especially your work. This behind the scenes video helps things make much more sense when watching episodes in knowing there must be so much more going on when the cameras are turned off.
Great Vlog Sonnaz. Great insight into your work.
Great stuff, thanks so much 🙏🏻
Love to see behind the scenes at TRS and what you all get up to away from the Repairs. Really enjoyed watching this
Aww thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Loved your first vlog! Well done.
Oh brilliant, thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Just do you, that is already enough brilliance! Great insight and love the personal touches so keep up the splendid work!
Thanks you so much 😊x
I LOVE your work!
Great first You Tube video Sonnaz 👌😊
Thanks so much Lynn ☺️🙏🏻
Nice first vlog. The appreciation for the misty hills and open plains and rolling hills reminded me of parts of here in California in the winter after a rain. Some moments just after dawn like that are so refreshing and uplifting. It really does put self-important rushing about in a better perspective, meaning yes, we are small, and nature around us is exquisite. As for “best of the vlog,” the bit showing finishing up the big blue sofa was my favorite because anytime I can watch a craftsman or woman at work in their natural work space reveals a bit of their expertise gained through a lot of practice and pursuit of excellence. Oh, and scarves, scarves, scarves! Never enough!
Aww bless you, thank you so much for such a lovely comment. I hope you enjoy future vlogs too. Huge thanks again , all the best Sonnaz x
A good start, keep it up
Aww fantastic, lovely to see more of my favourite programme and behind the scenes x
Great! Thank you 🙏🏻
@@SonnazSZ and obviously you are my favourite restorer
great insight into your background like most people love the repair shop,all talented craftspeople, i also like many follow dom on youtube , best wishes, take care !!
Great to see your vlog or blog. My name is Alexander Smit and live in Schiedan NL. I allways watch the RepairShop on the box from The Netherlands on BBC or BBC First. As I am a furniture restorer myself, like Will but not as good as he. You are one of my favourites, because of your attitude you have to the other team and the clients coming to the barn
I loved this! Thank you
Hi my awesome new friend this looks like a great channel to give me lotta inspiration and tips on home Decour thank you so much I really enjoyed the video and you did a great job with it
Really enjoyed it, well done.
Thank you for this, you have always been one of my favorites, Love from Indy.
You doing a great job !!!.
I loved watching this. and find you entirely charming and engaging.
Cheers!
I think you did an amazing job with your first vlog. It was very pleasant to watch the entire video. You are a natural talent. 🤪
Best show on TV love it.
Good to see you. We only get glimpses of you in the show.
Your character and humanity really show through in this vlog Sonnaz! It's been lovely to hear from you about your work and the Repair Shop too.. and your love of work and nature. Please don't change the angle of the camera, you look great. But it would be lovely to hear more about your life, particularly your early life.. did I read somewhere that you spent your young years on a ship? It would be lovely to hear about that!
Thanks Chris - stay tuned for by back story! Thanks again, Sonnaz
What an engaging personality! I think it took us all a while to realise that you weren't all hidden in a room behind the barn and taken out at appropriate times :-) Great to see the prep work before you travel to TRS, and how it all fits in with your daily work. Well done, and thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for a very kind message - yes we do have lives and work outside of the barn ;) Thanks again.
Really lovely and funny.
I've really enjoyed The Repair Shop. Just wish there were more episodes on Netflix. I am happy to subscribe to your channel as I've always enjoyed watching you work and the sensitivity you have to the item you are upholstering and its relationship to its owner and their story. Having an interior design degree, I knew a lot of upholsters and have benefited personally from their work, particular those crafters that use old school methods. I hope there will be more coming on Netflix. I think I've watched them all the way through twice. I sold furniture for 40 years to high-end corporations and my main item was seating so I have been to manufacturing plants all through my career and loved the term " eight-way, hand-tied coil-spring construction." So when I saw you use this, it brought a big smile to my face. Good luck to you and I hope the shop brings you much success. Jane, Philadelphia
Great video
Great vlog 👍..
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Well done Sonnaz,
Just started following your vlog today & have to say excellent .
Your own workshops look amazing & the camera is very good.
I started following Dom last month & i think your all amazing at your crafts.
Take care
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words - much appreciated and Im glad you like it. All the best, sonnaz.
Really interesting to see your life outside the repair shop.
Oh great, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏🏻
i love the Behind the scenes in your shop it inspire me that womens are capable of doing imposible to others.i love to view here for ur next upload thank you for sharing stay safe nowadays we must guard our self.
Thanks so much ! Women certainly are very capable, thank you!
2 years ago for you, today for me. Love The Repair Shop (no doubt why I'm seeing this), but will subscribe because as a jack of all trades in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of WA state USA, I do upholstery when the need arises - and appreciate when I see you on the show. CZcams is finally releasing TRS in USA from Season 1,episode 1, and am enjoying it beyond words. You all are awesome as well.
Great Fun. You are a one take chatterbox which means that producers and programme makers know that you will offer up great commentary and information. Loved the Vlog
Great to hear! Thank you so much! keep your eyes peeled for more :)
I can’t wait!!
Yay! Thank you! Me too ☺️🙏🏻
:)
I do the exact same thing when I check into a hotel… and my friends all laugh at me. But I just don’t feel settled until I’ve hung my clothes and laid out my toiletries 😂 glad I’m not the only nut.
Hahah nope! You are not alone for sure! 😂
Great blog, keep em up. Been doing videos and blogs a while now myself, but you're beating me on subscribers already. We all love a vlog, cos I think we're all a bit nosey! Keep em up. Subscribed. Thx. (Wish I had someone to edit for me!).
Naturally you are my favourite, why else would l subscribe to your channel. I often moan that you don’t appear to often on the repair shop, so now l can watch you, my favourite as much as l am able. Clearly you are extremely talented. 🌹
Love the vlog format, relaxed and natural..bit like you really 🤣. (That's a bit creepy sorry 🙄😁). Seriously this is just like an extension of TRS and just brings it all closer to us. The shots of my beloved Weald and Downland Museum and the beautiful Sussex Downs are fabulous. It is my go to place when things and life crowd in! So....welcome to my special place. You and the rest of the team are so wonderful, not only repairing treasured possessions but restoring memories and healing hearts. I always feel you all get so much out of it too! Thank you xx💕
Thank you so much for such a wonderful message, I’m thrilled you enjoyed it and I really do love being in the Sussex downs, glad you can see that. Your comment is not creepy either 😊😘 thank you for being so kind x
Really interesting. Thank you
Very good more of them please. Just do the same style works well
Really enjoyed, thanks.
Brilliant thank you!
Always enjoy watching your upholstery work, unfortunately we don't see enough of it on the Repair Shop.
New subscriber to your channel, I only really know you from The Repair Shop but I'm aware of your other ventures 🙂
great job
Yes, it is great seeing the blogs & your day to day work, you do some fantastic work, it's a shame we don't see you too often on The Repair Shop, you saying about the birds at the barn, i've got a barn where i play with my classic Austin's (don't tell Dom lol) & i have now got a little Robin i feed, there is also a Hedge Sparrow & Wagtails all finding the food, there are some Pheasants there also but they do not come near, all the very best wishes in your furniture restoration for generations to see in many years to come
Wow sounds wonderful - thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it !
@@SonnazSZ Yes i switch off there, i spent some of my childhood in Mid-Wales at a holiday cottage my mother & father rented so the countryside is in me even though i was born & live in Birmingham, dad (age 93) & i really love The Repair Shop, i am from an era of 'make do & mend', i forgot to put earlier that at the farm where my barn is there is a small childs chair it's about 18" wide (sorry i can't do this metric!), it has an upholstered back & base & has open sides with small armrests which meet the front uprights maybe 50's?, yes, we'll all enjoy your company doing your blogs, do your camera which ever way you wish we'll still enjoy it
Aww bless you - thanks so much, I work in inches so all good 👍🏻
@@SonnazSZ There is even a tale to the childhood Wales times, dad used to sell veggies he'd grown & sold lettuce's for 6d (2 1/2p) & this Birmingham family stopped & bought some this was the late 60's, we got to know them & they had a son around my age & we used to meet up & do things to occupy our time & this lad hit the headlines in the early 80's as a drummer of a New Romantic band called Duran Duran & this guy Roger is still the same, he knows who's got him where he is, i told him i look up to him for that, i still keep in touch with him & he always mentions the 'Wales days' even though he has been to some exotic places in the world, keep up the Inches who knows now we're Ex E.U we may bring them back lol, take care.
I love your work!! I use a VPN from California so I can watch the Repair Shop. Everyone is so talented
Aww fab! Thank you so much!!
Very interesrting
You are a very talented Lady 💜💜
This program is just magical, and full of very talented professionals at the top of their profession, I would like them to let's us know the materials they use such as glues, oils, and cleaning materials I'm sure us D. I. Ys. would much appreciate that knowledge and strengthen our own capabilities, never the less I just admire their talent and craftsmanship, a real joy to be hold. R. A. 🏴
Great vlog, so much info and it’s lovely to see both sides of your working life. Personally I prefer the angle where you’re looking straight into the camera rather than the camera being higher or lower than your face but that’s just me. My 94 year old Mum and I met you in the café at Pamphill one day and you sweetly spoke to us for quite a while. Every time we went to the café after that (before lockdown of course) Mum would always ask me if you were in there again. You made an older lady very happy that say so thank you.
Aww bless you thank you so much for the lovely message. I am thrilled to have made your mum a happy lady too.
Thanks foe the camera angle feedback too! That’s great 😃
Great job on this VLOG !!! but I didnt see where you showed where you made the mistake on the tool box !?!? LOL I must have missed that !!
Loved watching your first vlog. It might be an idea to try and keep the camera a bit more still. Definitely feeling a bit woozy after that...but loved it!...hugs.
Your vlog was so informative, thankyou, regarding the angle which to film, I prefer when you are looking straight at the camera, I wold love to be able to watch a vlog of the filming of the repair shop but not sure if it is possible due to the crew privacy etc and of course keeping the projects under wraps until ricochet broadcast the show, enough of my ramblings keep up the good work and please continue with the vlogs.
Thank you for watching and your message - yes stuff has to stay well under wraps! Hope you enjoy other vlogs, Sonnaz
I so enjoyed that - thank you!
What happens when you don’t quite finish what you are doing at The Repair Shop?
You said that you didn’t manage to finish.
That blue sofa Wow 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
Loved this video - seeing your workshop and behind the scenes atTRS. Will you be able to show us snippets of what you actually do in upholstery- just snippets without giving the game away so to speak- hints and tips for fabric care or what hoes into a certain aspect of what you’re doing when you restore something
I’m glad you enjoyed it- yes my friends Aaron (who edits everything) and I will be working on many more videos including hints and tips - Keep your eyes peeled for more ☺️
Just found you and I must say that I have enjoyed your side of The Repair Shop!
I honestly thought that all of you lived in the area (within 30-40 miles) of the barn property and you all just came to the "shop" when an item that had been called in or given prior notification was scheduled to arrive. I had no idea that you had to stay in a hotel for a specific amount of time, lol! Does most do that? Wow....I've so many questions! On CZcams we are only at Season 4 episode 25. At first the episodes were being released once a week, but now its every other day. I had no idea that the show is actually on the 12th season!
The practice of slowing down, being aware of what's around you and being thankful for each day is a very good awareness. Your landscape stops were truly beautiful and a few breathtaking!
This is the first vlog I'm watching of yours. I've subscribed and I'm interested to watch more🙂
I'm a silk painting artist and I thought about doing a vlog about my work. I'm not sure about it all. Have you found it helpful to make a vlog about what you do?
I hope you all had happy holidays and I pray you'll have a year full of abundant blessings! 😁
that place is beautiful
Im here lods full support
It would be nice if some of the gang at the repair shop would do the same , but yours as been great Stay Safe now !!!.
Hi Sonnaz, enjoyed your video ( once I got over the seasickness caused by your opening shots!)
I have question for you: What type of foam would you use for cushioning on outside chairs? I have found the usual cushions supplied by the stores to be far too soft, because sitting on plastic or even wooden chairs gives me a "numb bum" after a while!
Finally I'm wondering which episode of the repair shop your fabulous chair will be on.
Look forward to your future vids, keep safe.. Terence.
Splendid Vlog! A small piece of feedback if I may.
At the end you ask whether the camera should be higher or lower - a friend of mine does pieces to camera and I tell him that I find that I am more comfortable with the camera lens level with the eyes of the presenter. I feel than that I am in an equitable position, engaged and included rather than being looked down on or feeling the inferior with the host looking down. Obviously when in motion this is not always possible. I also prefer not to have the vlogger's face filling the screen but at a conversational distance. Just my preferences but I hope that helps. Thank you [as an elderly hands-on maker] for being part of a wonderful team on one of the best programme series in the world.
Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback, of course you may! All feedback very welcome. Thanks again, Sonnaz
Thank you for posting this.
Have to say there is one disappointment - where was the pallet loaded with boxes full of staples?? 😂🤣😉
Seriously though fantastic little insight
Hahaha 🤣
Thanks foe the feedback I’m glad you enjoyed it.
More to come 🥳
It’s fun getting to know you a bit.
My immediate reaction to your looks, your subject matter, and your narrative ability, is "I want to marry this beautiful dream person !!!!" ... and it won't go away !
That is kind! Thank you
@weehoo I’m with you mate - she seems a lovely person. Very easy on the eye too, of course - but what a talent!
Hi my new friend, I am watching your video it is nice to meet you.Have a great day.
You're wearing a different pair of glasses in this video but also very nice. I must admit that I prefer the other pair a bit more because the Ray-Ban Clubmaster was always a favorite of mine when fitting attractive young ladies with glasses and you're no exception to that because you look so nice wearing yours also. Since you were about to drive off somewhere and weren't wearing glasses you do only need your glasses for seeing things close up and your distance vision must still be quite good.
Great to see you enter the world of vlogging too, following your other fab Q&A videos. Anything you want to do is great, you know we'll lap it up :-) ! However to offer a suggest, perhaps show some of your own projects (business based or otherwise), maybe in some detail that there isn't time on TRS to show. I suppose I'm thinking roughly the sort of thing Dom has been doing, only you do you of course. In terms of the filming yourself angle you were worried about, I'd say stick to the face level standard sort of shot most of the time, much as you'd see on TV. Looking down on you can be a bit weird and looking up gives a straight up the nose angle which is generally not the best. Kudos to Aaron for his fab editing, he did a great job on inc. the sped up bits, the music etc - I'm a TV/film nerd I notice this stuff LOL!
Anyway whatever you do, please keep them coming!
Ian Edwards
Oh lovely I’m glad you enjoy it!! Yes more to come so stay tuned ☺️🙏🏻
Thanks Sonnaz and Aaron 💝💝💝👑
You appear to have got your age wrong - 35??? Seriously loved this first of many(I hope) vlogs! The joy you have for the job you do shines through the screen & your love for the tool box takes me right back to my apprenticeship! I had to make a metal one but really wanted a carpenters type box & to my surprise one of the carpenters at work made me one, how lucky was I - still got it & I'll try to send you a picture! I take it you have to wear the same everyday at the Repair shop for continuity reasons? Really looking forward to the next vlog xxx
I am indeed 35!! Haha thanks for the lovely message and I’m thrilled you connected with the toolbox story too. Yes your right about the clothing thing! But also i have not much idea about clothing??!! Thanks again, sonn
Sonnaz, what a fantastic lifestyle, how lucky are you, what I would like to know is, do you design and build furniture from scratch ? or rebuild and restore, or all of the above, I was in Birmingham on business some years ago and came across a leather furniture shop that had a Budda style chair, which was shaped like a Budda, his arms where the arms of the chair his head was the headrest and you sat on his lap, Wow a bit wierd but fantastic craftmanship and the pouffe in front was a leather tortoise which looked brilliant, Ralph the Rhino that Susie Fletcher repaired reminded me of it, have you ever made anything that wacky ? or stayed more traditional, I love the vlog mate, keep it up... Cheers..
It's great, but a steady cam might be a good idea! Others wise, great vlog.
