Easy One Piece Ottoman Slip Cover

June 12, 2013 By Meegan 8 Comments

Hello Hello!  I am home from Oregon and can’t wait to share all of my travels with you.  But, first, I want to show you this EASY one piece ottoman slip cover.

I have wanted a slip cover for this ottoman for years.  Yes, years.  Now that Hubby bought me a sewing machine for Mother’s Day, I have been sewing up a storm.  Woo!  This is my first project with my new machine.  She came out pretty good, I would say…

Easy One Piece Ottoman Slip Cover

 

Easy One Piece Ottoman Slip CoverHere is my 15 year old ottoman.  She has been used as a game table, baby bed, and of course a foot rest.

Easy One Piece Ottoman Slip CoverAfter looking for fabric, I found this one with the greens and little bits of blue that I like.  I bought 2 and a half yards of 54 wide.

This is how I knew how much fabric to purchase:  I measured the width and length of my ottoman as well as the height. I also measured it from side to side.  IE; up the side, across the top, and back down each side.  I did this both length and width.

Easy One Piece Ottoman Slip CoverI laid the fabric right side down on the ottoman.  Finding the corners of the ottoman, I pinned and marked where I wanted my seams.  I left a little room, so I could easily slip it over when I was finished sewing.

I ironed open the seams.

When you make your own easy one piece ottoman slip cover, you can make it tighter, add a ruffle or any embellishments you like, to make it your own.

I needed something simple, easy and quick.

I could even make another one with a bold print for a new look.  Then I could have 2 separate looks anytime I want-Love it!!

Thanks for stopping by today and for following me:

    Love your slipcover, I always love something that can be laundered. Goodwill is a great place to find brand new bolts of material I think you have inspired me to sew one for my ottoman happy sewing!
