Unless you want something very specific fabric wise-sometimes purchasing online can be easy and possibly a more economical option. I have an ottoman cover on my leather Natuzzi ottoman because want to protect it from both the dog and shoe scratches . Here’s a link please sort by color or price-hope this helps.

I have a few posts that might help you. The project that I did was a bench I have 4 parts(posts) to the bench project that I re-upholstered with a ton of great helpful details on how to re-upholster. All projects are different and even though It wasn't a an ottoman, things will be similar in some ways.

GOOD LUCK! I love that you are tackling this project. Re-upholstery is my favorite way to re-do furniture. You get such a fulfillment from an amazing transformation.
