I dug through my fabric stash and found some of her fabric that I was originally going to use for a tunic top ~ {oh well... never got around to that project either!} I decided it would be a fun fabric to use for a beachy pouf...
It's an easy pattern to sew ~ the hardest part was getting all the stuffing in so that it's firm enough to sit on or rest your feet. It took almost the 2 big bags because I really crammed it in there but I love how it turned out...
I came across some other cute examples ~ there are so many variations and I love how you can totally customize it to your decor/taste...
There are 2 different sizes included in the pattern ~ I made the large size which makes a good-sized ottoman that you can actually use for extra seating. I love the fresh pop of colour and pattern it adds to the room...
If you want to give it a try, you can find the pattern at numerous Etsy shops as I did. Happy sewing!

I have mad love for that fabric. I had a big panel of it hanging in the hallway in our US home but never found a place for it since. Maybe I'll need to make a matching pouf out of it. Yours looks great! Amy was in London for Holly Becker's book signing - would love to meet her! xo
Wow this is so cute! I've got a bag of stuffing too! Great idea!
Super cute!! Very beachy looking pattern/colors too. Looks great!
This looks great! I have never thought that making a pouff from scratch would really spice up the decor. I'm always just though re-upholstering.
I love it....perfect size and pattern! Katelyn wants me to make one for her apartment next year...thank goodness I have time to figure out i'm not the best at sewing! Have a great day!
