The Wildfire Seamstress

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!

MAKE ME A PILLOW!!

In the Mood For Love

This is a pillow with several layers--in more than one way!  It has many layers of fabric to give such an interesting  three dimensional look.  First I used a white poly-satin, layered hearts of red and purple in the shape of a heart and then overlaid it with an iridescent pink fabric to give a gorgeous sheen.  For a final touch, I hand quilted the heart shape for further dimension.  This pillow can be used as a ring bearer pillow, but it would also make a beautiful presentation pillow for a Valentine's day wish for your special someone. This Misty Heart pillow complements any event where LOVE is involved!
This pillow is approximately 7" by 7", with a satin red ribbon to tie your rings or secure your special gift.  Securing the ribbon is a whimsical square faux-gem button.  There is a holding band on the back, which can be used for a ring bearer to hold or to hold your card that carries your Valentine wishes.  Either way as ring bearer pillow or as a gift, this delightful pillow has plenty of character!

Yet another lovely addition to my Asian Inspiration Collection...you will blush with pleasure to have this pillow carry  your most precious cargo with exotic elegance.  Click on any image to enlarge for detail.
Your rings will be nestled in nothing but the finest with this beautiful, 7" by 7" crimson brocade pillow decorated with a subtle print of  Asian pine trees and cranes.  A double edge seam refines this pillow  to perfection.
Red satin ribbons are decorated with amber colored glass beads and secured to the center of the pillow with a handcovered button and will keep your rings safely affixed, while a back band will help your young ring bearer to transport the goods.
This Crimson Asian Inspiration Ring Bearer Pillow is $25.00.

If you like this pillow, but maybe it is not "quite right," I can work with you to create any pillow you like!  The options for a custom made pillow are as limitless as our imaginations!

Life's A Picnic!

A warm summer day, a basket filled to the brim with all your favorite delicacies...potato salad, ripe peaches, thick sandwiches stuffed with turkey...and not an ant in sight!
Now that's a picnic...and the inspiration for this pillow.  I used a textured, white cotton fabric and the sweetest red checkered ribbon to remind you of the day you two had the best picnic ever...a hand covered matching button fastens the red ribbon that will hold your rings on your special day.
This pillow has no pretense-it's simple and calls forth simple memories of childhood, family and comfort food. It would fit in perfectly for a sweet outdoor wedding or a country theme. May you're actually having a picnic wedding, in which case, this ring bearer pillow was made for you.
I am also working on a matching  round flower girl basket with the same ribbon  and textured cotton fabric.
The pillow is 6"x6" with "gift" style red checkered ribbon and a hand covered button.  The back also has a holding band, so that frisky ring bearers can hold on tight while frolicking down that grassy outdoor aisle...the red ring ribbon is satin and about 7" long.

Pillow That Have Found Their Homes

These are the first two pillows I sold: "Something Blue" Ring Bearer Pillow  and this red, gift like pillow with iridescent beading in the center flower. Both use the "Gift" model, I guess you could call it, with the ribbons  crossing the front as on a present. The woman who bought the red pillow told me her color theme is platinum and black, with red accents. She had searched and searched for this perfect red pillow, and then, there it was.  She told me she loves it! Her wedding, I believe, is in January, so I am looking forward to getting pictures of that! While both of these pillow have found happy homes, if you see a design you like in either of them, let me know, as I can come up with something similar for you!

Gorgeous Red Flower Ring Bearer Pillow

This Red Flower ring bearer pillow pictured below was the 10th or 11th that I made, the third in the flower series with which I have become quite enamored. It started as a sketch, a couple of failed flower attempts, and finally a sucessful way to get those petals to behave!  I love the quilting process of the petals, in particular, as quilting has been a large part of my sewing experience.  I doubt there is one family member or friend whose baby hasn't been swaddled in one of my baby quilts! The beading process is also relaxing for me, and relates to my experiences making jewelry.

This pillow measures 7"X7 &3/4" in a slight rectangular shape. The center of this red pillow made of poly satin is decorated with an exquisite, hand quilted, eight petaled red satin flower. The red 1/16 inch ribbon which is meant to securely tie your precious rings to the pillow is eight inches long, is accented on the ends with three iridescent pink/red beads and a red glass flower bead. The center button is hand covered with red ply satin and has had three kinds if beads hand applied-a row of silvery-gray hematite, iridescent pink/red beads and a matching red glass flower bead.
