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.

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.

Zero Waste Pouffe



Loved making this zero waste pouffe. Learned new skills and really happy with the results.
Was very fun to bring this project together! I chose to make two at the same time, so spent a lot of time pinning! I chose to overlock all my edges as it was sad to think the edges might fray! I got many pin pricks from this one - but so worth it! I also found hand basting the zip before sewing a lot more manageable.
Will definitely be making again in more daring block colour combos! Thank for the pattern! :)
