Let's Talk Fabric: Ottoman Tutorial
December 07, 2017
Hi!
Welcome to episode 1 of Let's Talk Fabric! We are revamping the channel and coming up with new series where we will be showcasing a variety of different home decor projects- all including FABRIC, of course! In them, you will be able to find simple, mostly no-sew projects for your home!
To kick off the series, we decided to start off with a very popular and useful item, an Ottoman!
For this particular project, we decided to use Love Story Fabrics by Maureen Cracknell. We wanted to use a cotton canvas print since it has the perfect combination of strength and softness required for a reupholster project like this. Cotton canvas is definitely the go-to fabric for furniture design DIY. Its sturdiness and flexibility allow enough fabric to stretch without tearing. The color scheme of this print also helped greatly, since the black and white geometric aesthetic turned out to blend and pair up easily with other different prints. Explore more prints and colors ideas and check out the whole cotton canvas collection on our website.

The ottoman was built using 1 yard of fabric and batting, along with other items. The medium-strength of the cotton canvas material is perfect, because any reupholstering project will definitely have you doing a lot of pulling (A LOT), and thin cotton fabrics will just not work. Besides, this canvas Daring Tribal Noir print is a MUST HAVE.
