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.

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
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. :)
I made a seat for my doggy. At the moment, it is not filled enough, but I am sure with the scraps of my next couple of projects, it will not be as deflated. It was a fun project. It was my first time working with piping, and I think the piping I used wasn't the same as what was suggested. Because of this my base and top were too big for the side band, so I had to put in a small fold to make it fit. I think it gives it character.
My overall experience was great. It was first time at home furnishing. But it went ok. Piping is not my favourite pastime. I loved the ethos of zero waste and also filled the cavity with water of tights and tshirt. Instead of basting the sides, it was quicker and easier to use Curved Safety Pins (this is a trick that quilters use to attach all the layers of fabric and wadding together) I hope this review was helpful
