Memories to Heirlooms

Remember When. . . we "tuffed" it out?

a round stool made from alternating black fabric and ties.
When Kara contacted me to ask if I could make a stool for her mom, I was thrilled and a bit apprehensive.  A stool like this is in my inspiration file and although I was sure I could make it, I was not sure how. ​

Research

I followed the link on my Pinterest file to find this stool was made by Julie Struthers at All About Tuffets. Julie is a delight and told me that there are many "tuffet" kits on line.
 I choose Tuffet Source because of the quality of their kit.  It was a bonus that Sharyn was willing to help anytime I called and had great instructions in the kit.

Creating

ties cut and laid out side by side
All the ties were reinforced, cut to size, and then laid out in order of the design.
ties laid in piles with number tags
The ties and black pieces were numbered and sorted into eight piles.
ties and black fabric sewn alternately in to a section of the tuffet
Each pile was sewn into a section of the tuffet.
tuffet fabric is stretched over the form and a button is added.
Sections were sewn together and stretched over the form and stapled in place. A button was added.

Tada!

Fabric with a pocket for the Story Starter was added to cover the bottom before the feet were added. Nail heads were added to finish it.

One More Thing

Heart ornaments made from ties.
An ornament was created for Kara's Dad's children and grandchildren, complete with a Story Starter pocket.
Tuffets can be made from jeans, shirts - almost anything.  Interested in having a tuffet made?  Contact me and we can talk about it.
