How do yon like It?” Transforming a Box Into Smart Ottoman By RUTH WYETH SPEARS DAD the top of a box and slip- 1 cover it; then add a separate cushion three inches thick. The result will be a smart ottoman that either may match or contrast with the cover of your favorite chair. The little feet made of drawer pulls keep* the ottoman from looking like a box. A corded seam where the skirt of the slip COTTON BATTING BOTTOM BOARDS,x BASTED TO OSUNf SCREW OR BOLT CTACK c- DRAWER PULLS SEW J NEAR CORNERS -AtmA 3" CUSHION I TAC CORDED SEAM OF SUP COVER TO BOX cover joins the top, and an invert ed pleat at each corner of the skirt also give a professional touch. I suggest tacking the slip cover firmly in place as shown in the sketch. If down or feathers are used to fill the separate cushion, make an inner cushion of ticking with a top and a bottom piece the size of the box top; and a straight three- inch piece around the sides. If kapok is used for filling, this inner cushion may be made of muslin. • * * NOTE: These directions should be clipped from the paper as they are not available in booklet form. However, complete di rections for making slip covers and for making corded seams are in SEWING. Book No. 1. No. 3 also contains valuable slip cover suggestions. These 32-page booklets are 10c each.
