The same friend and client I made the Union Jack pillows for also had an ottoman she wanted covered. It is a wondrous size and shape but the stuff it was covered with was less than eye appealing. To say the least. My friend said her husband said it was the ugliest thing he’d ever seen! I am sincerely hoping he doesn’t still say that when he sees its new clothing!!!
I forgot didn’t really think about taking a picture of the before. Just trust me that it wasn’t very pretty. This is what it looks like now!
This looks so cute in my living room I’m tempted to keep it! But I won’t – it’s going to look great in her house. I’m delivering it so I can get some photos of the whole couch/chair/ottoman/pillow project 🙂
Made out of a drop cloth and serged with red thread to tie it in with the red in the pillows and her slip covered chair.
I did take pics of some of the process of making this. I will post them this week. I basically used the same process I used for this one.
I also want to let you in on one of the exciting things that landed in my inbox in the past couple weeks. Jami from Freckled Laundry has asked me to use my seamstress skills and help her out as her business grows’!!! I am so excited to be working with her! She has been one of my very favorite bloggers for quite a while and I am just delighted that we have become bloggy friends and will be working together. If you have never visited her blog you need to do it now! And leave her a comment – tell her I sent you over! All bloggers love comments 🙂

I’m on my way over now Mackenzie! And by the way, I love the name of your blog!
i love how frilly and big that is.
Thanks! My client loved it too! And it looked so wonderful in her living room. I have pics on my camera of her couch chair and ottoman makeovers all finished and looking great! So come back, I will be posting about it soon!
I love this! I want to do something like that with my boring ottoman now!
You can make this! It’s not hard at all if you like to sew!!
Gorgeous! I wish I had sewing skills but sadly, my sewing machine and I don’t get along 😉 Don’t have a serger either! You did an awesome job! I would totally keep that if I was you 🙂 Maybe tell her the dog ate it or something…
Thanks Britni! I will be on the lookout for a round ottoman at goodwill – then I can whip up my own ruffled ottoman cover!!
oh so pretty & feminine, love this.
🙂 Thank you! Have a great weekend!
I love ruffles, and your ottoman is the perfect little ruffled treasure for a living room!
Thank you Mitzi! I love ruffles too! I need to make myself a little ruffle covered ottoman – it was kind of hard to part with this one!
