Zero Waste Pouffe
Save every scrap of fabric from going to landfill with the Zero Waste Pouffe. Designed to store all of your fabric waste as well as look great for your home. You’ll be happy in the knowledge you’re upcycling your offcuts and old toiles to create something beautiful and useful.
You can use the pouffe as a ‘bin’ while you save up your fabric scraps and when it’s full, simply zip it up. You’ll find the zip a useful way to top the pouffe up over time when the fabric slowly compresses through use.

How to use PDF Patterns
Where to find your patterns & workshops:
After purchasing you'll find your PDF pattern download and any workshops in your account page. Simply log in (or create an account using the same email address used to purchase) and click the account button in the top right corner. The most up to date versions of the patterns will always be available from within your account. If any changes are made to the pattern or instructions you’ll receive an email notification.
Opening your files:
Some older Window computers have problems opening zip files. If this is the case, you can use the free programme 7-Zip to open your files.
How to print your pattern:
You have two options for printing out your pattern.
1. You can get it printed in A0 at a printing shop or sewing pattern company. Search for "sewing pattern printing company" to find a company that does this in your region.
2. Or you can print it yourself on a home printer in A4 or US Letter format and then tile the pages together using tape.
Using PDF layers:
All of our patterns come with PDF layers so you can select the sizes you want to view and print. To do this you’ll need a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (this is free to download).

Customer Reviews
I made this one at Barnardo’s Re-fashion Hub out of vintage donated fabrics and stuffed with rags. I made a liner out of a quilted mattress protector, so I didn’t need to put the wadding in and tack. It will be sold to raise money for the charity.
You should always measure twice and cut once. Unfortunately for me I trusted the pattern, and the length of the piping and the side panel were off by a good 10cm, which was really disappointing. Im confused by the number of 5 star reviews - perhaps I made a mistake instead? Once complete though, it's a lovely pouffe.
Hi Nathalie, we've checked the pattern and it is indeed correct so I think something is maybe off with your make - feel free to send us any photos and we can help advise you!

My first zero-waste pouffe and it’s such a relief to find a home for scraps and old toiles after 2 plus years of hoarding! I used some upholstery remnants and piping that have been in my cupboard for 10 years ! I re-used a zip from an old handbag and added a leather carrying strap secured with Chicago Screws. I need to work on my piping skills and would probably opt for a concealed zip next time. It’s amazing how much it can hold, but much better than consigning it to landfill. I will make another.
