At last a straightforward simple tutorial when a lot of others are to difficult. Thankyou so much.

Glad it was helpful!

[@victoriashepard8176]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

[@crazywildcat1971]

Thank you for an easy tutorial, was able to make a slip cover for my footstool. Wow it made the corners so easy.

[@2corgimother]

Thank you! Your explanation was very helpful! Until now, I was not sure that I wanted to attempt making the cover!

[@kryssygee4814]

Simple enough to do and you helped us see the process well! Great results!!!

[@rbmhwils]

Thanks saved the day. I was going to go the complicated route and was really dreading it. You gave me confidence in trying your technique and am so pleased with the results!

[@ScrappyPatch]

That’s awesome!! Glad I could help

[@EBaconPDX]

Thank you so much for posting this great tutorial! I made two slipcovers for unusually-sized ottomans and they turned out perfectly. Appreciate your instructions!

[@debbrunette650]

This is by far the easiest ottoman video i have seen. Slip covers are the way to go. Beautiful!

[@coffeeandtea6633]

Wow ! An answer to my prayer today ! This exact project ! Thank you.

[@hellodoggy8688]

That looks fantastic! I like that!!!!

[@miaglatter6217]

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks for the tutorial 👍

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome Mia!

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Very well presented and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share this tutorial with us - a great update or recycle for any room!

[@Wendywen74]

It looks awesome!!!! Great tutorial!!!

[@sheldmom23]

This looks so easy! I will definitely try this.

[@mamabear4009]

Just what I was looking for! Now I can make a cover for mine! Thank you!

[@pz7z4s]

Great explanation! I just bought a drop cloth to cover old black pleather ottoman and will try this method. Might try iron on seam tape too. Thx!

[@asmaullah5480]

Great and easy to do project thank u. I’m definitely going to try this on my footstool.

[@MendedAndWholeLife]

You made it simple thank you! Great video!

[@gladysmccoy1725]

I absolutely love this video. Thanks

[@CassandraMSmith]

Thank you Scrappy. I love this tutorial so much😊

[@janiec3915]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I'm a beginner at sewing and so far I've made a wonky pin cushion and four baby blankets. I made this ottoman cover with a corduroy material. We have cats and one sits on the ottoman all day and another tries to dig her claws into it so when my husband suggested we make our own, I panicked, did a KZbin search and found your video. It came out great! Thank you very much!

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome

[@michelerose9279]

Just found this definitely a great tutorial. Thanks

[@bryciecook4318]

Ah, thank you for this! This seems like such an easy, well explained tutorial. We have an ugly red and white striped ottoman that I can’t stand. Pair that with 3 kids and it’s just a nasty disaster lol. Completely re-upholstering seemed like way too much work, especially when it would just get completely stained again by messy kids. So this definitely seems like the best and easiest option!! Can’t wait to try it out!

[@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters]

Dude this is awesome . Great instructions and it turned out pretty good ❤

[@barbaranezovich473]

Very helpful and easy to follow! Thanks!

[@wondafaith8621]

Right on time! Thank you and "way to go simple easy"!

[@jeanmcluskie7501]

Brilliant tutorial. Now all I need is a wing back chair cover 😄

[@kimberlymayalall8074]

Thank you! Simple instructions and I made a cover for my ottoman today…wish I could attach a pic! So impressed I pulled it off! I’m still a beginner sewer.

[@wenzelbotha8077]

Beautifully done and quite easy. My next project.

[@lyndacumming3249]

Fantastic!

[@DanniBAPP]

I know this is an old video but I just used the tutorial and it was brilliant. Not overly complicated and as I used patterned material It actually looked so much better than if I had cut 5 sections and fixed together like other videos demonstrated as there were more matching seems with this. Only adjustment I made was to add elastic to the bottom seem to pull tight under the legs. Thanks so much for this!

[@jazzorcullo]

great idea for the elastic! will try that later!

[@ladykenja2700]

- Nice job. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@bon47ful]

Love it. Great job!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thank You

[@Cronezonetarot]

So simple and doable. Thank you

[@tinapoirier3524]

Thanks for making it look so easy!

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome

[@chrisbutler9158]

It looks great, and so easy, the shedding of the fabric could be a problem though, it gets everywhere. When I made one (faux suede) I cut the fabric into five panels and then made pockets. It was tricky matching the corners but I did it!

[@sandyrichmond2570]

Next time you work with minky fabric toss it in the dryer with very low or no heat with a wet washcloth for 10 minutes and the shedding will be nearly gone. You do a great job!

[@ScrappyPatch]

AWESOME tip!! Wish I knew that before :-)

[@mbcalderwood]

Oooh good to know

[@sandyrichmond2570]

Scrappy Patch you may have to repeat this process if you make additional cuts of this fabric but it’s totally worth it not to have the shedding

[@susansteele2779]

Thank you. Nice Tip Sandy. I've been reluctant to purchase dark minky type fabrics because the of the upkeep and I don't even have pets.

[@HealthyandLovingLife]

You're a lifesaver!!

[@v.j.morrison1784]

Thank You! I've had a a large piece of fake fur fabric literally safety pinned to my ottoman for months! I was so happy when your how-to video came up first in my Google Search! TY! Very good video!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Glad I could help!!

[@brendadowns-weber8531]

"Dog hair magnet" 😂😂. I can so relate. Thanks for another great practical project!

[@ScrappyPatch]

LOL thank you for watching!

[@carpentert1964]

Awesome!!!!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks!!

[@happyfacehappyface1878]

Thanks for this video 👍🏿 I bought an old beat-up ottoman for ten bucks at a yard sale, I figured out the whole guts of it all, I was stuck at covering it, the thought of those corners were giving me major anxiety... Thanks for making it 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@happyfacehappyface1878]

It won't let me upload the video or a pic... But your information got me through it 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@TheBarbaraNunes]

Thank you so much!

[@mbcalderwood]

the color matches your room great! Ive been watching your videos since before i started filming my own. You do great work!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Just subbed to your channel!

[@mbcalderwood]

Scrappy Patch thanks so much!!

[@xskullyx944]

Thank you for the video very useful 😊

[@sondraprosser]

Hi, Scrappy! I'm new to your page. I was looking for a quick any easy way of making a cover for my four stools. I'm going to follow your easy techniques with a different fabric. I hope I can find some durable washable fabric for mine.

[@18betz]

Wow! GREAT VIDEO! Not overly complicated and to the point. Not zillions of panels to sew together which is where I usually make mistakes. I have an old ottoman that I got from a second hand store. It's super ugly, but structurally sound.. Ottomans are so expensive, its just not worth dropping a bucket of money on something my pets are going to destroy. I'm going to use material from a curtain (Upholstery fabric can be very pricey) I wasn't sure how to proceed. Thank You. P.S. You're a good son for sewing this for your Mom.

[@123LilDebbie]

I think it looks great.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks! Mother liked it also. But I just see my mistakes LOL

[@mbcalderwood]

I love watching your videos, one reason is because your voice sounds like Strong Bad. Has anyone ever told you that? Total complement IMO!

[@ScrappyPatch]

That's new. Nobody has ever said that before! Thanks

[@aliabatool6391]

Amazing 👍

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks 😄

[@MyToni72]

Thank you you were very helpful..

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome!

[@lowec315]

Thx....very nice.

[@paulettekemper8492]

I made one. Only took me about 20 minutes. Love it.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Awesome!! Thanks for watching!

[@charlottemason4525]

Thanks Mr."Patch"... I Got it !!

[@ScrappyPatch]

You're welcome

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Great tutorial just what i needed. Now i dont have any reason to keep putting off making a cover for my ottoman. Currently its covered with a folded sheet lol. Dog hair....

[@sassieanne]

Great video. Have you ever made a dog jacket? As cold as it is the dogs don't want to go out.

[@ScrappyPatch]

I haven't made a dog jacket yet, but plan to do so in the future!

[@marleneahibbard]

What if your triangles/flaps are not the same size.

[@ScrappyPatch]

If the match up on the bottom they will be fine.

[@Lolitastar79]

Ok Scrappy, I am gonna try this. If I fail, I'm tossing ottoman out the window. Nothing you did, just, I tried another tutorial from another person and nope, didn't work. I have faith in yours so let me try. I shall tell ya if it worked. :)

[@ScrappyPatch]

HAHAHA I hope it worked out for ya!

[@patholycross1518]

😂 8:17 great job
