Grain Sack Ottoman

 

This small Ottoman had seen better days! However it is the Perfect size!

So I decided to give it a new look! 

 

I admire people who can pin a whole piece of furniture and take it off and sew.

 

 

Not me! I have to do it piece by piece! 

                                                                                                                                                              I  

 

I pin it inside out, sew it, turn it right side out, fit it

 Try it on again.....

Pin it!

 

Inside out again...

 

and yes I even drew blood!

  Very exciting as it begins to look finished!

 

I love the small cut and rip approach! a nice straight line for the hem!

 

I kept the pleats to the corners as I didn't want it to be to "puffy" !

 

I reversed the denim and used the "wrong" side as the right side!

which complimented the texture of the grain sack!

 

 

 

 

 It really is the perfect size!

 As much as I would like to keep it.....I will be bringing it into the shop! It felt good to pull my machine out and sew for a change.  I have a few custom window treatments coming up so stay tuned for more fun with fabric!
