The ottoman in the master bedroomat my twin sister Diane’s house got a facelift, a new custom cover I made for it:

The original upholstered cover fell victim to the claws of Diane and Ed’s dear departed cat Alex. The newly slipcovered ottomanlooks right at home in front of an easy chair in her bedroom:

Here’s a view that includes apeek at Midnight in the Garden, the quilt I gave Dianefor her 60th birthday:

The newly covered ottoman actually has a fraternal twin (hey, just like me!):

This is the slipcover I made four years ago when I was visiting Diane over Thanksgiving. My goal was to make this look like an upholstered piece, since I’m not a fan of slipcovers. It was a real seat-of-the-pants project, since I hadnever made a slipcover or upholstered anything. When I started working on the new one, all I had to do was look at the old one to refresh my memory onhow I had made it.No need toreinvent the wheel!
