Tufted Ottoman

Over a year ago, I picked up an ottoman for free at a friend's yard sale. It hung out in our garage far too long! This past Thursday the big girls and I determined to recover it. Here's the result! I am especially grateful to Eady, who recovered all the little buttons, and to Lillian who did the machine sewing. Supplies cost next to nothing ~ fabric cost about $8.00, the cushion cost $2.00 (purchased from an estate sale - brand new) needle, thread and staples were on hand, and the cardboard strip placed on the underside of the skirt's piping was made from a cereal box.

I have a few more yards of the same fabric to use on my next project. This chair wants some professional help!
