Reupholstered Thrift Store Ottoman

I found this ottoman at the thrift store for $13. It had good bones and was sturdy but the fabric was... dated and not a bit my style. Every piece of upholstered furniture is slightly different, but I'm sharing how I reupholstered this particular piece. I had to remove the old fabric piece by piece and used it as a template. I sewed cording and a new skirt for the ottoman. I slowly built it back one section at a time and it looks like a whole new piece of furniture!

'I'm learning and getting better' is one of the best sentences ever.

Your skills are amazing! You have inspired me to give a try. I was quoted $500.+ the fabric to reupholster my ottoman!!! I’ll do it myself. Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial.

Great job !! I watched because I’m considering upholstering a large oval ottoman. It doesn’t have to have piping but the great tip you gave is to take the old upholstery off and use as a template - it was a light bulb moment for me - thanks 😊

Wow, what a great job...and that "hey"...to the kids at the end of the video was so real and so funny:-)

[@courtneyg678]

it is SO good! and believe it or not, i did the exact same thing......although, mine turned out NOTHING like yours😁(i don't even think i completed the doggone project)...even bought a sewing machine but am too intimidated by it. OH WELL, LIFE GOES ON. I HAD BIG PLANS FOR THAT OTTOMAN TOO!

It came out wonderful! I really love the way you mix traditional silhouettes and prints with a colorful vibe. It never comes across as too whimsical or juvenile, just perfect. Also, caught you on that cottage makeover show before Christmas when I was just clicking through the channels. So cool to see your design mind at work.

I have an ottoman very much like yours that I have been intimidated to reupholster for years. I removed the old fabric years ago (no pictures 😕) and still have it for a pattern, but I’m going to have to guess on how to put the new pieces on. Thanks for the tip on the piping foot! Your ottoman turned out great!

Phenomenal flip! Looking forward to upgrading my free/found ottoman soon! Thank you for the tips!

No questions, just love it!

[@tommiarnold2157]

Awesome! I'm trying to do this without sewing.
