not the greatest photo but this is the ottoman cover completed. hardly a professional job--no cording or pleats at the corners--but a HUGE difference from the previous second-hand condition. the futon chair cover is cranberry so this goes perfectly. i guesstimated at buying the fabric with 2 yards, so not enough left to even make the cording for around the top. it goes well with the blue carpet as well. with this out of the way, i can return my focus to quilty UFOs and sewing. **** we have a bit of snow on the ground but temps are going up to 50 tomorrow, so bye-bye first snow. me, i have other dreams instead of a white christmas regardless of how festive and quaint it might be, not the least of which is "blue variety" coming this spring.
Great. Don't even miss the cording. I haven't had the courage to tackle uphosltery.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary, you are brave to tackle upholstery. From here, it looks very nice and as if it would go with everything.
ReplyDeleteI love the Jacobean print of the material. Your cover looks very nice and if you didn't point out the lack of cording I would not have thought of it. Could you explain the "blue variety" comment? I can't figure out what you meant by that. I will probably have one of those "DUH, head slapping" momments when you tell me.
