This information is exactly what I was looking for. I'm glad I kept scrolling past all of the "ottoman" videos and found yours. Thank you very much.

[@mclrose7]

Love your idea of attaching the safety pin to the straw❤

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Thank you. Perfect tutorial for what I’m looking for. Love the drinking straw tip too! 👍🏼

[@user-hh8ni3lq9r]

You're amazing! Just what I was looking for to cover my outdoor bar stool covers with waterproof material. Wanted a quick and easy "recipe" and you produced! Will look for more of your great ideas!

[@SewtheDistance]

Imagine my surprise when I searched for a stool cover tutorial and found you made one!! Love this and will be using this method for stool covers! Thank you!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Lol this is an oldie lol 😂 one of the first tutorials I ever made 🤩

[@monicakostak9841]

Thank you. for sharing. .i made a quilt top using scraps of my western fabric to cover a bench for shoes for the garage. After completing my project, which is quit heavy as i had added fleece and a muslin back,, and had quilted the top, I added some brown suede as the border when I WAS GOING TO staple to the bottom of the seat, (rather than staple my quilted fabric,) but opted to use a drawstring casing to wash later which will keep my quilted top fresh . I will curve my edges to reduce bulk, serge, and add a 1 inch casing for my cord. Can't wait to complete my project!

[@creativewithelizabeth6396]

Would never have thought of the non slip! Great tutorial!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for the kind words ✂️✅❤️

[@lindawilson2549]

Thanks very much. I am doing this as a small job in my town for someone else. I had a bit of an idea how to do it, but your tutorial has given me direction. :) I will be using elastic instead of the draw string.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Glad it helped Linda✅

[@janicebutler6003]

I’m covering 4 kitchen stools that have square tops and will use this simple method. I’ve been putting it off as I didn’t know where to start … now I do! Thank you very much for your clear guidance!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You’re welcome Janice👍🏼🤓

[@bilapani144]

Exactly what I need! Thanks

[@Charlie-cz3jh]

Impressive. You are so inspiring! THANK YOU TRACY🥰💟

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wow thank you so much!!!💛

Recovered an old stool that belonged to my mom. I have been thinking about the best way to do it for nearly a year. I did not want to use glue or staples or damage the existing cover. I wanted it to match the drapes in my bedroom and protect the existing cover. I’m stuck at home with COVID and found your tutorial. I mostly followed your instructions. I used elastic. My cover could not be tucked under due to the legs being flush with the top.

[@annaweddle7714]

I’ll send you a pic if I can figure out the technology. Thank you so much for your skill and teaching ability.

[@annaweddle7714]

I think I managed to send a before and after to your instagram account.

[@maryumnoor2353]

Thank you so much mama i was searching for the same thing which I needed to stitch for my stool so that i can cover my stool 😃 thanks once again your video is really really helpful ❤️

[@shelleymackay8073]

Thank you for the great video, I have been trying to figure out how to cover a stool, very helpful!

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Glad it was helpful!✅_*

[@Tracks777]

lovely stuff

[@glendacrouch1877]

Oh, I like this idea also!

[@sylviamayo379]

Thanks,🥰👍👍

[@patriotsongs]

Great tutorial, and I love the drawstring method. Only thing I ha e to add is, the background, repetitive "music" is annoying as all get out.

[@tiatortilla]

do u think this would work as a keyboard/piano cover?

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes I think it would work. ✅

[@dustycarter2729]

I think I get that you curve the corner to remove bulk but how do you judge the depth of the curve, I’m afraid to cut to much off

[@TheSewingChannel]

measure the depth and however much you would like it to under plus don't forget to add the seam allowance

[@dustycarter2729]

@@TheSewingChannel great help, I needed to cover 2 vinyl ottoman type boxes with upholstered lids to match new colour scheme. Used 2 coats silk emulsion on boxes and made removable covers for lids. Your vid gave me the courage to do it

[@chriso9934]

What's the name of your scissors? And what sewing machine did you use?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_I use a Brother....I'll have to look at the video again and see which scissors I used in it LOL this video was made last year..._*

[@susanaitch3347]

Why not use elastic in place of the ribbon

[@TheSewingChannel]

You totally can use elastic...this is just another method if you don't have elastic ✅

[@lainpadang8033]

What's the purpose of the beige fabric in between the stool and sponge?

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great question..... it is to prevent any extra “slipping “ when someone puts their feet up on it. (It is one of those grippy shelf liners.) ✅🤓✂️

[@lainpadang8033]

Ic... extra precaution, you are so very well prepared, love it! 😆

[@TheSewingChannel]

Sometimes too over prepared 😂 lol
