And then I went pouf!

I have wanted a pouf for so long, I finally made one.



It is the size of a small end table and I found the pattern from googling moroccan pouf.



It was fairly easy I mostly made this one as a prototype. The fabrics are bulk favorites from the late 90's so it was time to use them up.



I attempted to make it alternating colors but as per my usual backasswardness one of the panels didn't go in order.

No I could not have ripped it out because it was the last panel in, and the last project of the day. I was done, and so was the pouf dang it. Does that make me lazy, yeah probably does.

But now I have a cozy pouf filled with scrap fabric, old drapes, plastic grocery bags filled with fiber fill to go and put my feet up on. That makes me happy, and that's all that matters.

I need some nature now. Maybe I should just hike the little canyon "stream" out here. Off to commune.

What to do with vintage supplies

Originally uploaded by ritualbath

My mother and I often pick up craft and sewing supplies at thrift stores. Sometimes I come across some gems, like the engraved pearl buttons that would be lovely on some elegant silk something.

Other times I get just regular supplies like buttons and zippers. I love finding fabric but with all the bad double knit out there it doesn't happen much any more.

Now I have this great heavy brass separating zipper.

I was going to make a great overnight bag with it but then noticed it was separating, and now I am wondering if it shouldn't be some garment to use that separating feature.

Its about sixteen inches long.

What do you think?

My craft/sewing room redo

I rearranged things, still not like in the magazines but way more functional.


The work desk right next to the sewing machine so the kiddo can craft with me.



Shelves over my head while sewing have notions that I might need. While my patterns, books and magazines are all organized on the bookshelf.



My warm and natural up as a design wall, and all my rubbermaid bins have labels on them by fabric. There is one of each of quilting, upholstery, suiting, shirting, and knits.

I hope you get the chance to be creative this weekend,
