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.

Zero Waste Pouffe
Like a lot of sewists, I accumulate a lot of scrap fabric, but also just clothing/towels/sheets that wear out. This is a perfect little project to re-use those wornout or too small fabric pieces. Simple, but beautiful piece for the home. The instructions and pattern were really easy to work with.
Great pattern, it was just what I needed, I had way too many scraps that I was hoarding and this sorts out all that. Pattern was clear and took you step by step through everything. I even made piping! And it looks good. I didn't have quite the right wadding but it still looks good and as it's still compressing from use I'm still squeezing in more scraps. It's the perfect size and I hope to make another one. I also think this would be great for storing kids soft toys . I would definitely recommend.
This honestly helped me make my room inhabitable again. I’ve had a big trash bag full of scraps and I knew I had anted to make a little ottoman of some kind. This absolutely saved me! I now have space in my room and it looks so much better now that I have something useful taking up that space! I’ve made two because I filled one up already! Also, this was a great scrap buster for me! There have been these scraps of fabric I haven’t known what to do with because they haven’t been big enough for something to wear. So this was especially awesome for taking some scraps. :)
