crazy quilting of yellow! |
here's a before from long long ago - and molly is hogging the lens....
look past molly to that green astec thing in the rear...... |
we stuck that on - then i wrapped the whole thing with wadding - and it looked like this......
then i got sewing with my new yellow and grey stash (including quilting the top as per the first pic) - and we ended up with this.....
behold - a crazy yellow and grey ottoman! |
here's some obligatory closeups - cause i can!!!
so that's my new ottoman cover i've been working on.
a lot nicer than the original and matches our loungeroom so much better.......
and that's where we're at for the moment. tiny steps to a new room - but steps forward at least.
it's the first slip cover i've ever made - and i haven't even yet checked out my 'Slipcovers with Shelley Instructional Video' which finally came in the mail from the US - (i posted about that lovely find here) but as it was a simple shape, i thought i'd just give it a go!!! what do you think??
it's a lovely sunny day here in canberra (finally after weeks of overcast coldness) - hope it's a nice day in your part of the world also.

Wow, you did a great job with your first slipcover :) I really like the yellow and gray combination you used. I kinda hope your overcast skies and cooler weather are on their way to North Texas we really need them! It was a scorching 102 degrees Fahrenheit today in our city and this is just the beginning of summer...
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the 'stash' in action. The colours look great and the ottoman is a great shape.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! well done!
ReplyDeleteMy dog has the same toy. I always grab it and she holds on it with her teeth real hard. She loves to play with that toy. I'm sure your dog is the same way. I was wondering is your dog part poodle?
