Sounds interesting Diane, shall look forward to seeing what you make - have fun with this one. You say you haven't got the room for a pouffe/tuffet so why not make the small tuffet and have this on your sewing table, the one I got my sister I was able to buy some little bun feet as an extra and she is thrilled with this. My sister waited until she had returned to Canada before she made this up and then this was on a brand new sewing machine which was awaiting her return - so a success all around and it was also the first time she had used the machine. I always like to try and find something a little bit different for her in the sewing/craft line, and this was was a tremendous hit.
