Footstool Constuction Material List

This entry is part of 2 in the series Footstool Construction

The actual construction videos are still in the works. I promised this “late this winter.” Today is only the second full day of winter but I thought I would put the material list out there. It may change as I work my way through documenting this process.

What you need to build your footstool to fit under my footstool patterns:

Pattern and wool

Order your footstool pattern and assemble your wool, or simply send me your color visions and let me color plan it for you. This is a service I offer to all workshop attendees, but you can get this service without the workshop. I do give priority to workshop students so you might have to wait a while. Please contact me for availability.

    Hi Cindi,
    I can’t wait. Being this is the beginning of a new year this will be perfect timing for starting my gifts for next year I have to make four to five footstools by next Christmas.
    Have a Happy New Year, I love your website.
