If you’ve visited Flamingo Toes before, you’ve probably noticed I am in love with all things Vintage. And of course sewing is one of my favorite things as well. So when Indygo Junction got in touch about Amy Barickman’s new line of fabric, Vintage Made Modern, I jumped at the chance to make something out of it!
This fabric is perfect for the sewist – it has fabrics decorated with vintage pattern pieces, sewing notions, buttons, definitions and of course fun coordinating prints like the plaid that I can’t get enough of!
I decided to make up something for my new sewing room (perfect right??) and so I sewed up the Indygo Junction Dresden Pouf pattern! I’ve had a pouf on my sewing list for ages and the idea of a comfy and cute version for my studio was too fun to pass up!
I focused on the pink fabrics for the top and the blue fabrics for the bottom, and I added a little bit of pom-pom trim to the center circle on both sides, just for a little extra touch.
I think it looks perfect next to my vintage Singer don’t you?
I’ll definitely be making up more projects with this fabric – I think the next thing on the list will be some Embroidery Hoop art featuring this sassy gal – she is too stylish and awesome.
I just love how it turned out!
Indygo Junction is having an Ahhhhmazing giveaway as well to celebrate National Sewing Month! There are over $2000 in prizes – including a Babylock Sewing Machine!
Good luck!
Absolutely adorable!!!
So is there a pouf “form” that you put that on? or what is it stuffed with?
Hi Babs,
The pouf is stuffed with fiberfill. Lots of it! :)
lol my mom will love knowing her singer like that is vintage….not antique..lol……….Love your stool now that word for your pouf thing is an antique word…Ps i really like the fabric too…[email protected]
Nice use of those great fabrics.
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT GIVEAWAY! IT WILL SURELY IMPROVE MY SEWING TIME!
Your project is spectacular! I have been seeing several tutorials for making a tuffet and or foot stool and am loving each one. I must put this on the top of my to do list! Thank you for sharing and for the great give away. Have a wonderful creative day! [email protected]
I love the pouf and the fabric choice. I have one on my bucket list as well.

It’s hard to say how they would help my sewing craft as they are so many. The bias tape maker would mean no more burnt fingers. The Dritz notions would just be fun and useful. We all can always use more fabric, right? And Amy’s are so beautiful. The sewing cabinet is gorgeous and would go along with my plans of redoing my sewing room. I love Indigo Junction patterns and I don’t believe I have any of the ones shown. I own Amy’s Vintage Notions and have enjoyed it so much, having some of her other books would be a delight. The Therm-O-Web products are always fun when crafting. And the Rachel sewing machine from Babylock would be so wonderful for my son, He loves to sew and will be moving out soon. It would make me so happy to send him off with his own sewing machine!
Too cute – both the fabric ad the pouf! Absolutely any and everything would better my sewing game…LOL
Very nice, I like your choice of fabrics. Do you think you could stuff it with something else.
I’m a rusty sewer trying to get back into a pastime I really enjoyed in my earlier years. I could really use the help.
It would be so awesome to have quality tools and fabrics so I can sew and craft to my heart’s content!
What a joy to see this cushion. Looks like a pattern for many uses.
It will help me learn to sew better and different options in less time……
This is about the cutest little poof I’ve ever seen! I absolutely love it :) Thanks for sharing on Monday Funday xo
