Hey Girl...put your feet up!

I've been a little late catching on to the
 whole Hey Girl craze

 but I have to say they've given me some great laughs.

(If you're late to this like me, just google Hey Girl)

I decided I had to have a little hey girl fun of my own.

In between laughing at the hey girls I finished up
 the little round ottoman to go with my
 scrappy little chair.

  It really is adorable and I'm in love with
the idea  of being able to switch out fabrics whenever I please. 

 Slip covering is the way to go!

The possibilities are endless and it's a
 project that doesn't require a ton of fabric to get a completely new look.

You can read about the initial construction here

After you complete the construction part
the next step is to add the batting.

I cut a top circle out of batting by tracing the foam.

Do the same for the side.
  I pinned and then cut right on 

the ottoman.

  Then just sew the side to the edges
 of the circle on top.

Lastly, pull to the bottom and staple

 underneath to secure

the batting.

I only had a weird leftover piece of the
 floral fabric so I really had to piece the
 slipcover together without worrying
about pattern placement.

I did the same construction for the slipcover.
Cut the circle top, pinned and cut the side...

and then added a little linen flange.

My inspiration came from this great
 slip covered ottoman

via  Cote de Texas

I like it!

I even had time to do a little painting!
What a great weekend and fun project.

Awe, gee, thanks Ryan...
