Everything's pretty much self-explanatory but I'll point out what I used. Yardstick for the roof trim; zippers for corner trim; wooden thread spools as corbels, darning needle balcony railing, zipper pulls and tiny buttons for the doorknobs; thimbles for the lights; painted grey felt for the concrete. And, as mentioned above - brick patterned fabric for the siding.
In the store, the clock is a button, the fabric and flooring are fabric; the ceiling lights are two clear plastic bobbins glued together. The bases of the fabric tables are spools of thread. And as I did throughout the rooms, I used braided trims or ribbon for baseboard and door and window moldings.
I made many little bolts of fabric, wrapping narrow strips around some "just right" white cardboard I had. I measured actual bolts so I'd know for sure how tall and wide they are. I also made a little basket of remnants. Printed out all the signage on my printer. The "skirts" on the wall I copied from JoAnn's Fabrics - they used to display fabrics that way. The pegboard is something Radio Shack sells for making circuit boards.
I wanted to have fancy fabrics too and decided to display them on rolls as they're often displayed that way in real stores. I made all the little spools of thread and lace trims and the little bar of ribbon rolls. I think I made the cabinet for patterns. The trims on the counter, by the way, were buttons or charms.
In the kitchen, I used fabric for the floor but painted it with gloss varnish to look like linoleum. The over-the-sink cabinet is from a kit and I made the table, stove and fridge (I discovered there were no apartment sized appliances available!) The ceiling light is another bobbin with eyelet lace wrapped around it.
The living room is mostly store-bought although the lamp is a bead with a really ugly button that was great for a Tiffany light. The carpet here is red felt and it has a light fixture like the kitchen. I covered the wires with a tubing of fabric.
And this is just a picture of the braided trim room divider.
I think that's pretty much it. I did another fabric structure after this one - a little Greenleaf kit. On that one I used grosgrain ribbon overlapped for clapboard siding, brown corduory cut with pinking shears for shingles and painted waistband elastic (it's ridged) for shutters.
These projects were both really fun. If you decide to try something like this, open your imagination and see where it takes you. :)
