I originally made these pillows as a 50th birthday gift for my girlfriends. They were a big hit. Since then I have sewn up pillows featuring families, new babies, and even newly married couples.
To make your own you will need to purchase fabric, ball fringe and photo transfer paper. Make sure the transfer paper is colorfast. This will ensure the image will not run if it should get wet. Follow the directions to transfer your photo to fabric then add your favorite fabric to the top and bottom of the photo. Next sew on the ball fringe and finally add the back. Put the pillow form inside your masterpiece and you have your very own photo pillow.
Our next sale is October 20-21 at Occasionally Yours 1850 East 121st Street, Suite 106 in Burnsville (www.occasionallyyoursstore.com). If you love this idea but don't have a sewing machine or don't have the time to put it all together we will be taking orders. Send us your favorite sepia tone photo-family, friends or man's best friend and we will sew up a gift everyone will love. Fabric choices are either burlap and black ball fringe or leather/fabric and off-white ball fringe. Sizes are small (12 inches by 16 inches) or large (20 inches by 26 inches).
Hope to see you at the sale!
