  • Hand Made Wedding Pillows

    1 min read

    Did you use fabric at your wedding, maybe on the escort card table, and are now wondering what to do with it now that the wedding is over? Make pillows! I had the honor of hand making pillows for a special client of a friend of mine using the blue toile linen that they used on their escort card display.  


    Washington DC area wedding planner, Janice at Bellwether Events, wanted to use the fabric from Ron and Jon's wedding in Washington DC to make pillows for the couple as a Christmas present. I hand-made four pillows for this cute couple! I hope they love them and will use them in their home. Here are few photos from Connor Studios of the fabric in use at their wedding. Thanks again, Janice, these were fun to make!

    And, here are the pillows that I made. We used an 18 X 18 pillow insert and I put a blue piping around the edge.
