At a yard sale I bought an half round ottoman that I was going to reupholster. The more I've thought about it, the more I'm thinking I would like to try to make a quilted slipcover for it. I was wondering if anyone has ever made anything like that? If so, I would LOVE to see some pictures. I need some inspiration. I have an idea, but not sure if I can execute my vision! I've seen the pictures on the board of the quilt upholstered furniture- which I loved!-but with 3 kids I will need to be able to remove the cover and be able to wash it. If you have any insight or pictures to share I would love it! Thank you!

I'd thought about doing this too, but wondered how I would 'tie' it on to prevent the cover from going wonky all of the time. that would drive me nuts. :-)

Perhaps post a pic of your ottoman so we can have a better idea as to what you are working with ... and then can give some ideas as to how to tackle!

There was someone on here who did a couch and a chair...
Who was it???? Try searching... Kirsten |
I remember the couch and chair pics.. they wer awesome.... an ottoman should be easy to just tack or use a "drawstring " method on the underside to hold everything down.
I'm searching ( garagesales/thrift stores, etc) for a round ottoman for my sewing room... |

i have redone chairs & sofas, but sorry, no pix. what i did was make the "skirt" separate with 2" wide elastic, & you could just pull the whole thing off & wash it.
what i would do is go to a shop that sells patterns & look at some that are similar to what you want to do to get ideas OR the library! |
