Slipcover for Sitting Room

When my mom was here visiting, before she caught her flight back to Arkansas, she made a slipcover for the the ottoman in our sitting room out of some crisp cream fabric I had been saving. The ottoman is a great dark leather and the matching chair is actually in the guest room, but I wanted the ottoman for our master sitting room. I felt the leather was too dark for the space, so my mom was kind enough to whip out a pretty ruffled cover.

It looks so happy and bright in the sitting room now!

She made a slipcover for our living room as well, but for this one, instead of box pleats, she made a ruffle. Don't you love ruffles? Oh, they make me so happy! : )

She used my sewing machine and taught me a few new tricks, as well. Living 1,000 miles from home {and help} will make you listen very, very carefully to sewing advice.

She did get a few pointers from a little guy with a lot of sewing experience.

I know she was so appreciative to have been an audience for his surging and seaming wisdom. : )

Thanks, Mom.

Though I rarely have time to relax in our sitting room, I do put makeup on and get dressed there and I sure love seeing that pretty slipcover. 

Speaking of my little helper, he "helped" himself to my Sonic drink that I thought I had hidden away up on a tall counter.

Guess not! Little rascal!  : )
