This has given me courage to make a slip cover for a daybed, instead of reupholstering it. This is a lot simpler! Thanks!

Going to try this on a round Ottoman! Love it cause you can take it off to wash. I may extend the fabric on the sides and add an elastic so it hugs the bottom of the Ottoman

I have a cool rug and also american native indian blanket to place on top of my ottoman then I can wash them once a week as I have a dog who likes to lay on it

@MaryL4760 2 жыл бұрын

real good idea. the only things I would have done was overcast the edges on the bottom to keep it from fraying, and also run a piece of elastic through the bottom to would be a better fit. Otherwise. Good Job!

This is fantastic as I have an ottoman I want to cover. My question is, how do you keep the cover in place once it’s on and prevent it from sliding around? Thanks.

@JulieKhuu 2 жыл бұрын

Fabric choice has a lot to do with it. This is a poly blend layered over an ultra suede so it doesn’t move around at all

Can you please show or tell how you did the corners. Are they "Y" seams?

Yes, if I had to break it down. I ended the seams at each corner and they joined together that way

Beginner here. So do you add 1-2 inches overage for each panel so instead of 18 Inches you made each panel 20 Inches is that correct? Also is it 1/2 Inch seams around sides and top please?

@JulieKhuu 3 жыл бұрын

Correct Kim. Add a consistent overage, can be more or less, but 1/2” is a nice round number

@JulieKhuu 2 жыл бұрын

Measure the piece, find the center point on your fabric and use the pencil + attached string method to measure the radius from the center point (add 1/2” overage) and voila! You’ve got yourself the top fabric piece. The skirt takes some tailoring of course 😅 Will find a round ottoman for a future DIY video Norma!

Omg she said nothing about fabric direction, or checking that fabric could even be washed in a washing machine. No pins😂. I’m sure it’s encouraging to people. But I hope they watch sone other videos so they have more info before ending up wasting fabric

@JulieKhuu 8 ай бұрын

That could be true. I used a poly velvet, no patterns, no directions which makes it SUPER easy to manipulate/ work with.
