Bravo!! I ako je video star 9 godina odličan je i dan danas. Pohvaljujem vas za veliki trud koji ste uložili da objasnite svaki detalj za renoviranje otomana. Svaka čast!!

Instructions unclear: Accidentally summoned Selim I to reconquer the Ottoman Empire

I just completed my diy project using your tutorial. It turned out amazing and your instructions were easy to follow and complete. I got the ottoman free and spent $35.00 on fabric and it looks amazing. Thank you.

[@christypoos9728]

Love watching Cindy. She sews like I do, plus more time saving hints.

[@NforNatural]

Best tutorial I’ve ever seen- so clear, thorough, and made sure to cover every step!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks!!!

[@charmawingingitlewis1259]

your technician is very meticulous and you complimented her well with you clear simple terms used to explain what she was doing. Thanks for you vid

[@Anna-jd3sx]

Narration and video are spot on. Professional and detailed.

[@MissFidget]

Thank you for your tutorial! It's great that you list the chapters/times. I bought a discontinued ottoman frame (pillow top with no cover) from Cost Plus for $35. I used your video and an old-but-still-pretty duvet to make a cover for it. I figure I saved at least $30 on that ottoman cover. Thanks again.

[@SailriteDIY]

Stacey Dodd Glad that we could help!

[@suzanbarrett6365]

Thankyou. Very helpful. I completed my project and am very glad. Your clear instructions and demonstration made it possible. Very encouraging.

[@melivv]

Cindy and the narrator are great, love the detailed explanation

[@mrscms831]

I appreciate that you showed us the sewing detail. I wanted to learn how to make the box. Im actually making a cover for my square air conditioner and wanted to find the best way to assemble. Thank you. Your videos are the best! LOVE that machine!

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad you liked our video and our sewing machine! Let us know if you have questions.

I have one of these very lightweight ottomans. I was so happy to find this tutorial for the EXACT ITEM. Sadly, at this time, I will be using my old Singer to get the job done. Thank you!

gracias por tan exelente tutorial

[@Dannysiri]

Great video

[@Kevinpdoheny]

Thanks so much for doing this great video!! I recovered my ottoman today and it turned out great! I had a bit of trouble on the corners. Next time if you do any updates or extended videos for this, I think it would be helpful to show a bit more of how you do the corners. Thanks again, this was such a huge help!!

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad to hear that your ottoman turned out great! Excellent suggestion for a future video on the topics of corners. Thanks!!!

[@bon47ful]

I second the suggestion! 😊

[@spicybrown75]

Could you use one continuous piece of fabric for the sides if there is enough length?

[@dom1209]

Thank you!

[@riverbirchranch]

So awesome!

[@875magdalena]

Thank you so much. I was able to reupholster my ottoman. It was easy to follow. I went slow on the corners and moved it as in the video. Taken my time. Perfect. Great video very well explained.

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad you liked it and good job!

[@shahnawazansari569]

[@lafleurdor]

تحفة ماشاء الله . هاد مشروعي انشاء الله انجح فيه

[@TheLablover3]

Can you give me any suggestions as I have recovered a larger ottoman with a top and 4 sides, the top has pipping, the corners at the top are not as tight as I would like them… can you stuff some Dacron in the corners at the top to fill them up a bit? What would your suggestions be…. I guess my top is a little too big

[@alexlaweacomica3791]

lindo , me gusta

[@BoricuaPrincess143]

Yo tengo 2 ottomans que quiero tapizar, pero para personas como yo que no saben coser es mucho más fácil comprar el forro ya hecho. Usted los hace para vender? Yo le compraría 2. Vivo en Orlando Florida

[@zahragoodasiaei3403]

Wow

[@farisabdelghani3128]

bien

[@morsalikadar1651]

ماشاء الله روعة

[@fredsacco9109]

I wish attaching the top was slower or more specific. The corners is where I’m having trouble

[@t.hinton4049]

great

[@kanymkulova_dinara]

👍🏼

[@suzetteponik6390]

Would be easier if you had a fabric that you could tell right and wrong sides. When pinning the top you cant cant tell and its not said .

[@SailriteDIY]

A general rule that is true almost all the time is, Right sides face each other. I hope that helps.

[@zahragoodasiaei3403]

[@maestro9765]

Wait, you're telling me it doesn't involve an artillery barrage on Konstantiniyye?

[@raminoob1249]

I did all. But i dont see on the news that ottoman empire is back. What did i do wrong?

[@xxdolphnaexx7941]

everything

[@nogshim]

This is great but too hard for ppl like me who are novices in dyi projects and sewing

[@SailriteDIY]

If you decide to recover one, we can help offer advice and help.

[@jenniferbarnard4224]

Hi I to am a novice at recovering household items, but I've sewn for years making a skirt hand sewn at 7 years of age and I've made other clothing but I've never recovered stuff but found this tutorial easy to follow once you've done it its easier every time

[@amyaronson8613]

The sewing part looked so confusing.

[@SailriteDIY]

At times it can get confusing. That is why we make our free videos for DIYers.

👍

[@debbieday1987]

I tend to favour Sailrite video tutorials over others due to the professional quality of the instructions. I was however, dissapointed with the explanation of how you match your top piece with the side 'box' piece. This is a crucial element that, done incorrectly would potentially destroy a successful end result. I was not impressed with this tutorial 😩

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks for your comments, we will strive to improve and your comments help us do just that. Thanks!!!
