Princess Ottoman redo!

Here's the fabulous before!

 I found this ottoman at the thriftstore for $5.

It's very dated and worn.

I immediately tore off the trim, the skirting...

and it sat that way for a while.

Okay, through our move.

I wanted to redo it...cheaply!

So I dug through my fabric to find something

 sturdy enough for an ottoman.

I found a bunch of houndstooth...left over from this and this!

But not quite enough.

 But I had a remnant piece of bigger houndstooth

 that was just enough more!

I pieced the parts together to go around the chair with

 just enough seam allowance.

I traced the top circle of the ottoman on my fabric and cut it out.

I cut it the same size as the top because I wanted it to fit snugly.

 Then I sewed the tube around the circle. 

Hemmed the bottom edge.

It made a perfect slipcover.

This could have been enough...

But I wanted to secure it.

 Just flipped it over and stapled that hemmed edge around the bottom.

 perfect!

 And, ta da!  A perfectly princessy ottoman!

At least we call it the princess chair, even though

 it doesn't look princessy at all.

 Goes great with the ugly chair!
