OMTWI Week One – Une Petite Pouffe

For the first week’s project, one of the most difficult parts was deciding which of the fabulous graphics from The Graphics Fairy to use.  After much browsing and selecting many options, I decided on this pretty vintage French sign.  I knew I wanted to try to use the graphic in a unique way, so this little floor cushion, or “Une Petite Pouffe” was the final product!

I started by printing the graphic directly onto linen fabric using full-size adhesive sheets to feed it through my printer.  I then surrounded the graphic with a band of gathered houndstooth and some decorative trim.  I made this for a little girl’s room, so for a bit of fun I added ball fringe on the outside edge.  Black swirls adorn the body of the cushion, which unzips to remove the stuffing if it needs laundering.

I think it makes a perfect perch for reading a good book, and I believe my little model agrees!
