Ottoman slipcover


Note to parents, sloppy people, and anyone who wears shoes in the house: NEVER get a beige ottoman. Baaaaad idea. This puppy looked bad after about 14 minutes of use. I've been slipcovering it since. The first slipcover was dark blue, and the color rubbed off on the edges. Oy. We covered it with a sheet and used it anyways. This is take two, about 7 years later. Much better!
I'm proud of the corners on this. I didn't want to make them square, since the edge of the ottoman is rounded. But I also am not careful enough to actually make round corners that would fit. So I cut the pieces for square corners, but sewed in a little inverted box pleat to round them out a bit. It came out pretty cute.
