I've finally got around to giving my living room pillows and ottoman a new look. Mike picked the last fabric for my homemade pillows and ottoman and my mom gladly covered them with care. It was fine for a little bit, but it started to remind me of "old man beach-towel" and felt it needed a new design.
I found these fabric options and couldn't decide for $35+ a YARD! So I was so excited when I came across some window panels for $20 that were very similar to the green pattern sample I had. I LOVED that I was getting 4 yard of fabric for less then 1 yard for the same look so "what the heck". I brought it home and gave it a try. I feel good about my deal and I think it turned out really cute! Now I wish I had some window panels in the same fabric! ha ha
**Tip- I used the long sides of the window panels for the pre-sewn 1" trim around the bottom of the ottoman and the 4" pre-sewn trim on the bottom of the panels for the front pocket on the pillows. This opening allows you to switch it out for a different look.
I also created the ties on each corner to cinch the bottom to fit a little more snug. It was a cute last minute addition!
I love it! It looks amazing! You are so great! Love you!
