Adam-No I don't. However, funny you should ask. Just today I found some light blue velvet that may just work for a similar looking ottoman. I'll have to make it though. Waiting to see if my friend will let me buy the fabric from him. I can make it oval, diamond tufted. legs and all. However, for me, I'd do the legs a little differently.

Hi Mod, I was reading your older post about the turquoise tufted oval ottoman. I loooooove it and I can't find anything like it online. Do you have any suggestions where I could find one? Thanks!

Hey Mod, thought you might be able to weigh in on this forum posting:
I think that would work fine if you don't mind the pins. Very resourceful! My comforter never quite fit down to the corners so I needed an extension, i.e. the length of ribbons.

If you tie ribbons on each corner , isnt that ptretty much the same as pinning each corner? I might have to do this but with minimal sewing

I dont know about other ppl but I cannot sew nor do I have a sewing machine. I think a ton of your stuff contains some sewing so you must be a seamstress which is so cool but not general knowledge. :)

Lifesanadventure-That's my favorite Goodwill store. They almost always have something fabulous in the way of furniture. Also I buy lots of leather coats for using on ottomans, laptop bags and so forth.

I stumbled upon your profile after seeing you featured on design*sponge. I JUST bought a table from the westfield Goodwill and am in the process of fixing it up. It was so random seeing that you're from the Indy area too! I look forward to reading your columns now that I will be looking for them!

You know I've always been a believer in old machines. I have, however, had a few of those I purchased off of ebay turn out to be lemons. I've had them all (I own about 11 machines altogether) cleaned and tuned up by a great repair guy who comes to my house. He repairs for Joanne Fabrics-specifically Viking/Husqvarna and has good things to say about Janome. I've never used one. Two of my best machines have been a Viking found at Goodwill for 19.99 and a Singer I got off ebay. My trusty Pfaffs and Consew (upholstery) are old reliables. Make sure you can sew through thick layers of fabric so you will be able to do upholstery projects. :)
