DSCN0353.jpgDSCN0351.jpgWith the quality of work done on the site here, I was not going to post the ottoman. It is such a simple piece of work compared to the work most people here show, but I thought the cushion may be of some interest to some here because I was able do sew it on our regular home sewing machine using faux leather, which is comparable to leather but cheaper in cost. There were some other posts about getting some upholstered cushions made on the site recently, and it is possible to do with some basic sewing equipment, if one wishes to .
I bought a good piece of high quality upholstery foam online for around 20.00 and wrapped it in cotton batting using 3m spray foam adhesive. I picked up the faux leather at a Joanns store locally in the specials bin for 6 dollars a yard. So for about 32 dollars I was able to make a cushion that should last for many years.
The ottoman was made for my better half to her specifications, as it replaces one she wore out from many years of use. She wanted a compartment for storing her heating pad, so it came out looking more heavy, and blockier looking then I would have preferred but she's the boss on this one.
