Inspiration.....Done!

Last week I talked about an ottoman I had that needed a little TLC. You can read about it here.

This weekend I worked on making the slipcover.  I had to add a 5" border to the patchwork I had already put together.

I made a casing for a piece of elastic and pushed it through.


I had a little too much fabric on the bottom, so I tucked it in and stitched it. It's a good thing you can't see the bottom!!


I love the way it turned out! It was easy to do, and I was able to use things I had on hand!

Overall, not too bad....no pattern and just a picture in my mind's eye!
