Pillow Poof : :
My friend Cynthia surprised me yesterday with the most wonderful gift - this awesome pillow/ottoman/stool (that she calls a poof - which I completely love). She recently started sewing(too) and has taken as much of a liking for all things Amy Butler, as I have for all things Anna Maria Horner. To get started, she ordered herself some of Amy's fabulous fabrics and the gum drops pillow pattern. Cynthia insists that they are easy to make, but I haven't given it a shot yet. She made a few (that I will share pics of soon) in different sizes for her home. As simple or difficult as they may be to make, they certainly are dramatic and look amazing! They are large, comfy, and such a cool design! We are loving ours!!!

What a pretty poof! I've been wanting to make one of those but haven't got up the initiative. What did she stuff it with?
ReplyDeleteCynthia is really into being Eco-friendly, too --- so she used old fabrics rolled up to make a sturdy center and then batting/fill around that for softness. If you read the pattern, it suggests 7 bags of fill for the small, 10 for the large and that really adds up - Cynthia came of with a smart, budget friendly alternative to avoid having to purchase all that new fill. :)
ReplyDeletelooks so comfy .. I want one! (I seem to want everything u post lol)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will still feel that way when I have stuff to sell --- Cynthia and I are actually hoping to do some fun stuff together, once our little ones are a bit bigger. : )
ReplyDeleteI've had the Amy Butler pattern for these for about 3 years now and haven't even cut it out. Every time I see one I am envious. Yours is so pretty!

ReplyDeleteOtherwise, why would a be Coach Outlet Online Store cop not fight back. He weighed about 50 lbs more Cheap Real Yeezys than Martin and might have been able to push him off. I feel that Zimmerman, knowing there was no living witness to dispute his claims, skewed the facts in Fake Yeezys his favor. The Appointment: An appointment with Cindy is hard Coach Outlet Clearance Sale to come by (a few months' wait) but once all is said and done, the Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet actual service is pretty speedy, about an hour total: 20 minutes for the consultation, 15 minutes for the numbing cream and only 20 Cheap Jordans Online minutes for the actual microblading. Up first was Michael Kors Bags Outlet a mini New Jordan Shoes 2020 consultation in which the pro outlined Suzie's best shape and then applied numbing cream Cheap Ray Ban Sunglasses before going in with the needle. "I could definitely hear the stroking sounds and didn't feel too much at first, but soon felt a dull burning and tingling sensation," explained the client.
