Start Course

What you will lean

During this course you will learn how to build the carcass of an ottoman box, which foams to use to give it a luxury finish, how to cut and sew the fabric so it sits perfectly on all four corners and much more.

You will also learn how to avoid those pesky 'Pixie Ears' on the corners where the corners stick up - which is a really common issue with sewn corners.

Master this course and you will be able to make an ottoman box of any size to fit any space.
