This is not a reference to homosexuals from North Africa as a friend first thought when I offered her one!
As a fellow Florence Broadhurst fan, she’d bought me a cut of her favourite pattern and I thought whilst I was on a roll (haven’t put the sewing machine away yet), I would make her some cushions or a Moroccan pouf as a gift.
They’re also called ottomans or a footstool.
A pouf from Morocco
I got the basic pattern from a thrifty lady online who made one out of a dress! I like it!
Also love her simple pattern.
As you can see I have missed out the top and bottom hexagon that she used and opted for a zip on the side and to sew all the way up the top and bottom.
I filled it with those bean bag polystyrene balls. It will sit in my window until she comes to collect it.
Hope she likes it!
cut the pieces
I can do a zip!
Ta-da! It’s a small bean bag actually.
