Custom Pillows of all Shapes and Sizes!

Welcome to the exciting world of custom ring bearer pillows!!  I can make any size or shape we can come up with, match your theme and colors, or just help you to express your true self though fabric, ribbon, beading and creativity.  Do you have a specific idea in mind, such as a holiday themed pillow, or perhaps a ring bearer pillow for your Dog- of-honor?  I can work with you to come up with the perfect pillow.
Creating your own custom ring bearer pillow can be fun and challenging as you sort out your themes and colors.  As your plan comes into focus, I will provide swatch samples via email and sketches of what your pillow will look like, as well as photos of the progress, as we keep in close contact about all elements of your special pillow.

 

Some elements we can work with:

How much embellishment?
Some folks go for the simple style, while others love the hand quilted rosettes or flowers spilling over the edges. Beading and ribbons can also dress up your pillow.  The choice is yours.
The edges of the pillow also play a huge part on the finished look of the pillow.  Lace edges can give a traditional look, a seamed single stitch edge, a particular elegance, and a triple seams edge, contemporary flair.  The options are as boundless as our imaginations--and I am always willing to make suggestions!
Once we have created your ideal pillow, you may want to continue your theme through other elements.  I can make favors such as bookmarks or mini-pillows and more.  I also can create a guest book covered with matching fabric.  Check it out on the site.
I charge a small fee for working with you to create your pillow--this helps defray the cost of buying the swatches to provide as samples and the time it takes to provide the sketches and photos for your perusal.  When the pillow is complete, I post it, and you purchase it directly from the site.  I keep the image up, to provide visitors with an example of  what custom work can be, but it is not available to the public--remember, that pillow was made especially for you!

Catch a Falling Star

I love mixing up white with other subtle colors-still traditional, yet allows the personality of the pillow to shine through. Using the pattern of  the overlay fabric to guide my beading was a fun use of the fabric's "identity".

This handmade ringbearer pillow is approximately 7"x7", and has many interesting, unique features. Subtle gold fabric peeks through a white mesh overlay decorated with stars and handbeaded with faux pearls. A vintage-look golden button with a pearly center punctuates the center and fastens a 1/4 grosgrain ribbon for your rings. The back of the pillow is a creamy white textured poly-silk. Truly a unique piece, made to carry precious cargo, and make memories.

This pillow has found a home, but there is the chance that I will make another that is similar--not exactly the same, of course!!

Carry Petals in a Pot of Gold

  To the right is a fabric covered, hand crafted flower girl basket in shades of gold, originally designed by The Wildfire Seamstress. (It matches the beading design and fabric color of a ring pillow also available on ebay-a perfect coordinating set!)

This basket is small, about 6"x4", in an oval shape. The handle is 6", and covered with light gold fabric, wrapped in gold chiffon ribbon. The interior of the basket is handstitched and of a deeper gold hue. The edge of the basket is beaded with round glass beads, gold and golden brown in a 2-5 alternating pattern.
I made this to match the Gold Flower ring Bearer pillow, but this could be used alone if your theme colors included pale gold (almost a champagne), or the deeper gold shade on the interior, or another pillow could be created.  I am going to start making more designs of pillows in color groupings so it will be easier to match items together.
I made this basket by covering an existing wovwn basket with the appropriate shape fabric.  I pieced it by machine, but hand stitched the fabric once it was on the basket, so it would fit perfectly .                                                            Click on this image for a larger pop-up.                  

Gold Flower Ring Bearer Pillow

Here is another creation: a handmade ring bearer pillow, hand crafted and originally designed by The Wildfire Seamstress.

This pillow measures 7"X7" square shape. The center of this pale gold pillow made of poly satin is decorated with an exquisite, hand quilted, eight petaled satin flower in a deeper gold. The gold chiffon 1/4 inch ribbon which is meant to securely tie your precious rings to the pillow is seven inches long, and accented on the ends with a single gold bead . The center button is hand covered with deep gold poly satin and is ringed with gold and golden brown alternating beads. This pillow also has a holding band on the back, which is elastic covered in light gold fabric, matching the pillow, so that little hands may securely carry your precious cargo to its destination.

This would be such an incredible addition to your special wedding day. All my work is crafted with care and love in a smoke free environment. I focus on quality and unique design, to add to your special day.
