This was very very easy to make. The hand sewing took the most time. But warning: these are fairly large and it will take A LOT of stuffing material. If you have old towels, jeans, blankets, etc, this is a great place to use them. Also, if you really want to use it as something to sit on, you'll want to pack it nice and dense. Use fiber fill. I used styrofoam pellets because I had them from past projects and didn't want to have to invest in more filler. They make the pouf very light weight and smooshy. So, while these look spectacular, they are really for show only. After market, I'll take them apart and put the scraps onto the pile and bag up the pellets for the next project.
Those look fantastic! I love the colours.

Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your idea to stuff them with old clothes. Made one for each kid, and it was sooo pricey to stuff. Wish I had thought of that!
ReplyDeleteCould I use fat quarters for this? If so, how many? If not, how many yards of each print did you use? I truly, truly want to make these for my house in Brittany -- and base the whole color scheme of the house on these fabrics. I love your fabrics more than any others!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your kind words! I don't think a FQ will work- the panels are long vs wide. Maybe if you pieced them with a seam in the center? I can't remember exactly how much is needed... I'm sure the directions in the link will be able to help you.
