Materials
You provide the fabric and we provide the pillow insert and the zipper!
 
These lovely MEMORY PILLOWS come standard with the phrase "LOVE" appliqued on the front. However, they can be personalized with the person's initials, or another 3- or 4-letter word instead. Making them the perfect gift!

Our current turnaround time on memory pillows is ONLY TWO to THREE WEEKS from the date we receive your items, not your order date. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

What makes our memory pillows unique?
1. Our Pillow Covers are removable: so that they can be washed and cushions can be replaced.
2. Our pillows have recessed zippers for easy removal: They are recessed so they are concealed behind the fabric.
3. We offer a variety of sizes: 12x16, 14x14, 16x16, and 18x18. These sizes refer to the pillow insert. Message us if you need a custom size. The pillow cover itself is actually 1-2 inches smaller.
 
Care Instructions: It is recommended to wash your pillow cover inside-out in cold water on the gentle cycle.

We will make your special pillow entirely from the clothing that you send us.
 
From adult clothes, we will need AT LEAST two shirts of any size to make one memory pillow. One is for the base of the pillow cover and one for the letters that will spell out LOVE on the base. For your pillow, all the letters can be from the same material, or you can provide different material for each of the letters if you like. It's totally up to you. You will need to provide at least an 8-inch square of fabric for each letter. If you're using long sleeve shirts for the letters, I recommend just cutting off and sending one of the sleeves of each shirt instead of sending the entire shirt, to save on shipping costs. If you want to use pants for the letters, than maybe just a pant leg will do.

Some great ideas from clothing are:
Non-Stretch Fabrics:
Button-down shirts
Flannel shirts
Flannel pajamas
Bathrobes (knee-length or longer)

Stretchy Fabrics:
(Stretchy means if your item gives or stretches when pulled on)
T-shirts (please keep in mind that if there is a large logo on your t-shirt, that it may not all fit on your pillow depending on the size pillow that you choose)
Golf/Polo shirts
Sweatshirts (please keep in mind that if there is a large logo on your sweatshirt, that it may not all fit on your pillow depending on the size pillow that you choose)
Fleece shirts
Fleece pajamas
Fleece bathrobes (knee-length or longer)
 
Your pillow can also be made from baby items such as receiving blankets for the base of the pillow cover and scraps from smaller items like sleepers, onesies, gowns, t-shirts,  leggings, etc can be used for the letters.

Any and all leftover fabric will be returned to you with your finished keepsake pillow, upon request. PLEASE NOTE: Shipping for the memory item is free. Upon request, any unused materials (outside of scraps that can fit inside of a ziplock bag) will be shipped back at the expense of the customer. So please be mindful of how much clothing you send and try to adhere to the recommendations provided above. If you have excess clothing, you will be sent an invoice for the shipping cost. We'll gladly hold on to any excess items for you for up to 30 days, after that time, they will be either discarded or donated.

Materials that can't be used:
loosely knit items
handmade crochet or knit items
thick knit sweaters
sheer or lace items
silky or satin-like polyester materials such as wedding/bridesmaid dresses, blouses or nightgowns
muslin or gauze type material
nylon items
