Sew much fun! :)

Hello all!!! February is almost over... can you believe it!  It seems like this month has FLOWN by. I stopped by a local fabric shop the other day and found some fabulous upholstery fabric for a little project I wanted to do.  

Dallas' lovely Mama gave us a beautiful ottoman when we moved in to our house.  It is made of this awesome brown leather, and our little pups love it!  However, they also love the leather, and there was a small rip in it that they happened to find, and happened to start to pull out the badding underneath. :( 

SO... the plan: cover up the ottoman with new fabric in hopes to thwart their attempt at de-fluffing the ottoman.  

Here is what I found.

Loved it.  

I sewed in elastic around the bottom edge so that the top is removable (washable)....

Then I added a strip around the bottom, and tried to match up the lines.... (OCD)... :) 

I am really happy with it... here's a side story... 
I had extra fabric, and who doesn't like throw pillows! So I threw together one... and added some buttons on the front.  I had these old buttons that were made out of deer antlers (awesome right!?!?!). So I grabbed a couple and sewed them to the front... 

Funny part... all was good until I went to sleep and woke up to a small Kassie dog chewing off the buttons... (Dallas has been training her to find deer sheds in the woods... should have known).  

 

 Needless to say, the pillow now has no buttons, but I still love it... and I love the ottoman too, just freshens up the whole area... add a slip cover from Amazon, and Maizy's chair is LOOKIN' GOOD! 

 
 I do hope everyone enjoys the rest of February and thanks for reading!! 

Blessings!
