An’s Tester experience of the latest pattern, the Bolster Beanbag.

Look at this kittens paws! He or she is going to be massive I bet.

An was a super tester in the wonderful group we had. I’m a big animal lover, especially because these amazing photos are of my favourite breed, Maine Coons.

She was kind enough to leave her first footrest version for the cattery kittens to keep. How sweet! An quickly whipped up a toddler version for her new kittens.

An writes a lovely review of her testing experience in her blogpost.

Please give it a read 🙂

‘Sew happy’ for her and the kittens who will be joining their family soon! 😉

Bolster Beanbag

Photo Credit Jennifer Epp – Footrest size with sofa and moon top, with the optional handle.

The Bolster Beanbag release, Tuesday 27th of August 2019.

This is the first sewing pattern I have designed. It has been a dream of mine since I was 10. My son was the inspiration behind this pattern.

There are 4 sizes to choose from:

Footrest: perfect name for its use but also great as bed for a small pet.

Toddler: as the name suggests, perfect for a toddler or small child.

Kids/Adult: Great all-rounder for the family.

Adult Plus: This is the big-boy! I always see listings for the HUGE beanbags that one could dream of. This size for sure is a winner.

Adult Plus – Model is my dad who had to have one too!

There are 3 shapes for the top of the beanbag; round, moon and sofa.

From Left to Right: Round, Moon, Sofa


The Bolster Beanbag has a removable outer cover to allow for easy machine washing. Perfect to curl up to read a book, catch up on the latest Netflix show or just lounge around on this comfy, cushy beanbag.

Always great to remember dreams do come true! Thank you Gail for making it possible for me.

Star Shorts Sew Along

The Star Shorts Sew Along is starting soon and we have decided to do something a little bit different, my eldest son Braden will be sewing and making the videos.

​Braden has been telling me for a little while now that he wants to be a YouTuber when he grows up, I asked him if he wanted to help make some sewing videos for Flosstyle and he jumped at the chance. 

I’m so proud of the effort he has put into the sewing and making of the videos (I think I was lucky enough to make an appearance once before I was told that I was better behind the camera punching the record button for him) and can’t wait to share them with you. 

All the videos will be posted to our YouTube channel. 

And if you haven’t already got it you can grab the Star Shorts Pattern here. 


Happy Sewing

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 16


This weeks Challenge: Sew a bathing suit or undergarment (Rejected)

It’s beginning to get too cold for swimming here so I decided to reject this weeks challenge and leave the swimmers until next summer. Instead I made some warm clothes for Mr 3.

I used the Sprouts Twigs Pattern for the pants and the still in development long sleeve version of the Ventura (the lite version is free with the code in the Flosstyle Fair Group on facebook). Mr 3 was most impressed he had a lion pocket on the shirt.

What have you sewn this week? I’d love to see.

Happy Sewing
