Create a Pillow


Question Posted Sunday May 6 2012, 10:24 pm

Hey do you know if there is a place you can go and create your own pillow? I mean like design the pillow and then make it the way you like it then the place sews it and stuffs it and sells it to you? Kinda like build-a-bear but for pillows? If not, is it really hard to learn how to sew your own pillows instead?

It's easy to make your own. You can buy cotton batting at any craft/sewing store, or use an existing pillow and make a new cover for it.


You can buy pillowcases at Target pretty cheap. $10 for standard/queen, $15 for king; they're solid colors or basic patterns. I've had a set on my bed for about a year and washed them several times and they look like new. All I did to them was attach some ribbon with this nifty iron-on fabric tape. Anyway it was great, and would work perfectly if you want a bed pillow.


If you want a throw pillow, you can:
A. Make a cover for an existing pillow (preferably an ugly one that's comfy) with fabric (or a pillowcase cut to size)
B. Buy a new pillow and glue/sew things on it.
C. Make a fabric pillowcase and stuff it with cotton batting.

You can also use Cafepress; however I don't know how comfy they are or if it's a nice pillow. I've gotten tshirts from there, and they're awesome.
