New Slipcover for Ottoman

This large padded ottoman was originally upholstered in a light cream fabric that lived through the pen marks of a growing child and claw marks of a curious cat.  It was time to add  new life with a textured elegant fabric that can be easily cleaned when needed --- ENTER the Slipcover!

I will be linking this post over here so go on over to see over fabulous transformations.

This office chair was looking fugly and blah. My Sewlution was to make a slipcover for it.

Slipcovers are great because it instantly changes the look without too much of an investment. I used a red and white check matelasse fabric and threw in some menswear waistband interfacing for the skirting.
