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!!

Woodland Wonder

This 7"x7" pillow uses the whimsical elements of the forest in a whole new way as a sheer overlay to produce a soft pink delicacy of a piece.  A soft faux micro suede complements the smooth top. It's simplicity draws attention to the fern embedded in the white overlay, while the edged stitching fosters a finished elegance to complement your style.  Small iridescent beads add a finishing touch to a white satin ribbon to hold your rings securely down the aisle, and a holding band on the reverse is perfect for small hands to hold on tightly. The center of the pillow is punctuated by a hand covered button of the matching pink with white fern overlay.

I enjoyed making this pillow, experimenting with overlay fabrics.  I am pleased with the simplicity of the design, as many of my designs can be wild at times! I hope you find this pillow would make a lovely addition to you special day.

Thanks for looking!
This fantastic pillow is only $25.00...

Holiday Blues

Nothing like a blue and white wrapped gift for the Chanukah season!  I had made a ring bearer pillow earlier that has already found a wedding using the same ribbon--the blue and white is so versatile-the first pillow had a blue base, so I thought I would give white a go--you know how I love to dress up that traditional white pillow!!
The pillow is a 7"x7" square, from a beautifully soft, white faux microsuede with a finished seamed edge. The ribbon is, of course, a blue and white plaid, with sheer sections, placed across the pillow like a present. There is a holding band across the back, using the same blue plaid ribbon. The center is punctuated by one of my coordinating, hand beaded, hand covered buttons.  This button is extra big, covered with the white faux microsuede with five concentric rows of beading. The beads are clear glass with shades of blue interiors. I finished the white 1/16th " satin ring holding ribbon with four small glass beads  that match the button and one cornflower blue frosted glass bead. This pillow has many fine details, but a simplicity that I find appealing.
I do love the "gift" design-it would complement a casual or a formal wedding.

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.

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!!

Back to Tradition-With STYLE!

This handmade ringbearer pillow is approximately 7"x7", and features cream poly-silk covered by a textured square pattern chiffon. A handsewn chiffon medallion with a silver and white button adorns the center or the pillow and secures the 1/16 inch satin ring ribbons to tie your rings. Truly a unique piece, made to carry precious cargo, and make memories.

This pillow does not have a holding band on the back, but one may be placed upon request when the auction is won, at no extra charge.'

This pillow was one of my very first.  I feel white is the quintessential wedding color, and while I have a tendency to splash color all over the place most of the time, I do have a traditional side that whispers to me, "White is purity...white is peace...white is untainted love..." and I have to succumb.  I think I have succumbed beautifully with this little pillow. It is soft, sweet, and ....white!
