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
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
Couldn’t wait to make this pouffe so I got my storage space back. Hat was even better was I already had a suitable fabric for it in my stash!
It was a really quick project to make, much easier than I was expecting - I’ve only done piping g once and that was when I was learning to sew a couple of years ago! I made it more difficult for myself by adding the wadding before turning through but I got there and now I keep throwing any scraps in and failed sews. Just can’t wait for it to be full so I can remove my basting stitches!! Hubby loves it and my little dog uses it as a step to climb up onto the settee 🥰
I sewed the pouffe so that I no longer have to throw away my scraps. I always felt bad about it. Now, after every sewing project, I'm happy about every scrap that I can stuff in. The pouffe was sewn very quickly and the instructions are short and easy to understand. I love my pouffe and I’m really looking forward to when it's finally full. After that, I'll sew another one straight away. Thank you for the pattern and the idea.
