The Evolution of a Footstool

 

The project I just completed involved supplies from two of my favorite places.  The footstool was courtesy of Craigslist; a $15.00 splurge.  The cover for it was a Goodwill purchase. I can't remember the price but it had to have been under $5.00.  It was an evolution because I started out making a slipcover with a skirt.  When I finished, I really didn't care for the skirt part, so I proceeded to rip off the skirt.  I really liked it better with just the top covered and being able to see the wood work.  Sooo, while the project was much more complicated then it needed to be, I liked it better
with just the cushion covered.  As I always say, "less is more".  I should have followed my own rule to begin with!
