    Hey, thats pretty cool.
    Meg, my dog CHEWS the apolostry on my ottoman and I am so sad cause its a pretty expensive piece. Is there a spray I can put on the fabric to make my dog stop chewing it and not be toxic to her or hurt her? I tried vinager... she LIKES it. Help!

    You've done it again, Meg! You make that professional-looking piping look so simple. I can't wait to tackle my couch, which has been shredded by my cat. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Thank you!

    You made something that I thought was too hard to even attempt look awesome and approachable. I am so impressed. I've got to get going on my own upholstery needs! BTW, Meg is the cutest!

    Really nice episode. I knew about how to do the chair seats, but the ottoman is another matter entirely! You made it look so easy. I love the striped fabric and am just amazed at how easily you tackled the piping. Can't wait til next week. Keep up the good work.

  • Brandi (guest) wrote on May 7, 10:14 am

    I really loved this episode, well...I love all of them, but I have been trying to figure out the best way to re-cover some old pieces! Everything looked fab!! Thanks for the great tips and tricks!!

  • pam munro (guest) wrote on May 7, 3:24 pm

    Love the instructions for the piping. But I have to mention that if you are going to go to all that trouble with the ottoman, I would have used a little extra material and made sure that the stripes lined up. (My mother always told me that pattern matching was a sign of good workmanship.) Otherwise use a material where it doesn't matter.

    Thanks for showing my video!!! I hope lots of people make these, because they are just too, too cute!!

    love the episode!

    I really love this idea! I need suggestions for something. I'm moving into a new house and my new room has a bay window. The thing is, I don't know what to put on the seat and what to put and how I should organize the things I put inside the seat. Any suggestionsss??? Thanks!

  • sewbettie (guest) wrote in reply on May 8, 12:39 pm

    I love the ottoman. I need to find one to recover!

Happy Mother's Day! This week we are re-upholstering 6 antique dining room chairs, and learning how to re-cover a vintage ottoman. Upholstery is an art I have never tackled before, and this week we give new life to an old piece with organic fabric. We provide a quick tip that will keep your linens smelling fresh. There is also a special viewer submission in this episode of a cool way to recycle your family's old vacation slides.
