In this video, I show you how to make and upholster a Barcelona-style pouf with a deep-buttoned leather cover and piping.

Follow the process of creating the shaped leather panels, skiving the leather, sewing the piping, assembling the cover, attaching the buttons, and finishing the pouf.

00:00Barcelona style Pouf. 3D printed templates.
00:05Introduction.
00:07Let's create a Barcelona style Pouf.
00:11This is the style of Pouf we're going to make.
00:14The base is already upholstered with lining and divided into squares.
00:19It's a simple wooden base with 4cm of foam on top.
00:23We have several videos on our YouTube channel showing how to upholster a stool, ottoman or Pouf.
00:29So, I'll skip that part.
00:31I use a 3D printed template to mark out the shapes of the squares where the buttons will go.
00:37You can download the drawing for free.
00:40The same goes for the 3D printed button with its strap.
00:44This is the shape we're going to create, including the positions of the buttons.
00:50Use the template to trace the outlines onto the leather and cut out as many pieces as you need for
00:56your project.
00:56The leather strips for the piping are 3cm wide.
01:01The squares are numbered.
01:03I've used a marker to make the numbers easier for you to see, but be careful.
01:08In some cases, the ink may show through to the finished surface.
01:11Only the squares with buttons have the shaped edges shown by the template.
01:17Where there are no buttons, the edge is simply straight.
01:27Skiving the leather.
01:30I use a skiving machine, but hand skiving knives are also available.
01:37Sewing the piping.
01:40I use 3mm cord.
01:42The leather is 1.1mm thick and the cord is covered by two layers of leather.
01:49I use a 5mm piping foot.
02:04Now I join the piping strips together to make a longer strip for the top panel.
02:25Sewing the piping onto the square pieces.
02:30First, trim away the excess leather.
02:33Start sewing 1cm from the corner and stop 1cm before reaching the next corner.
02:40Keep in mind that not all the squares need piping.
02:43I'll show you why later.

03:29Since I'm in zug
03:29I'm remember the indicatingface agent
03:32I'll show you why later.

04:15Here you can see how the button will cover the end of the piping.
04:21Sewing the squares together.
04:24I use a 6mm piping foot for this step.
04:28Place the square with the piping on top of the square without piping.
04:33You can sew all the way from corner to corner, as I do, or leave 1cm open at each corner.
04:40It depends on the size of your button.
04:43If the button covers the entire area, there's no problem.
05:15Please press the button.
05:16Once you've completed a row, sew the rows together.
05:23When the top panel is assembled, sew the piping around its edge.
05:29Sewing the Boxing
05:32Now it's time to sew the boxing, which forms the sides of the poof.
05:37The principle is the same as for the top panel.
05:41Once all four sections of the boxing have been sewn with their piping, join the sections together at the corners.
05:59Fitting the Cover
06:01Fit the leather cover over the wooden base of the poof.
06:05So far, it's looking good.
06:08Now sew the final section underneath, also with piping.
06:12This should be straightforward by now.
06:15Make sure you leave enough leather underneath the base to fasten the cover securely.
06:22Making the 3D printed button with a strap
06:26You can download the STL files for free.
06:30Drill the holes for the button twine in the underside of the button.
06:36Attaching the 3D printed buttons
06:41Now it's time to attach the 3D printed buttons to the poof.
06:45I also use a 3D printed back button.
06:49You can download the STL file for free too.
06:53Of course, you can also secure the button twine with a staple.
06:57However, I find this method very useful because it allows you to adjust the tension easily.
07:03Thank you!
07:07Thank you!
