The Modern Sewing Co. Zero Waste Pouffe

Buy the Zero Waste Pouffe sewing pattern from The Modern Sewing Co. Save every scrap of fabric from going to landfill with the Zero Waste Pouffe. Designed to store all your fabric waste as well as look great in your home, you’ll be happy in the knowledge you’re upcycling 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 and unpick the basting. You’ll find the zip a useful way to top the pouffe up over time as the fabric slowly compresses through use. The pattern also includes an optional handle so you can move the pouffe around your home with ease.

Suggested fabrics: The designer recommends working with heavier fabrics to ensure durability and create a good structure. As this is a piece for your home, think carefully about what colour and texture will suit your room best.
