I Made A Fabric Pouf!

It’s comfy, it’s cozy, it’s a fabric pouf!

I wanted to make a pouf for some time now but I only tried it a few days ago. Now I want to make another one. And another one. How many fabric poufs can a home hold?

The pouf itself was really easy to make. I drew a circle on my fabric using a pencil, a string and a pin. I tied the string to the pencil, then pinned the other side of the string onto the centre of my to-be-drawn circle. If you have a compass that’s large enough, you could also use that, I’m just saying… you don’t need one.

Once you’re happy of your circle measure the diameter (mine was 61 cm/24 inches). You will need two of these circles to make the pouf and a long rectangle of fabric to create a cylinder shape.

To figure out the measurements of your cylinder (or pouf base) first decide how tall you want your pouf to be. Mine was approximately 30 cm/11.8 in. Then to figure out how long your rectangle you should be multiply the diameter of your circle by π.

So, in my case, my pouf was 61 cm; I multiplied this by 3.14 and got to a 191 cm, which corresponds to my circle’s circumference.

i used lots and lots of pins

I sewed one of the circles to the rectangle first, then the second. I poured the pouf filling inside, then stitched it by hand.

It’s as easy as that!

    1. Hey, thanks! I used a mix of fabric scraps that I’ve collected since summer and polystyrene balls that I’ve bought from a local craft shop. I put the fabric in the middle, and filled the rest with the poli-fill

    1. Good idea! Are you not worried you will ruin your fabric?

      I would love to do that too… thinking, thinking…
