I don't know why I continue to say I'm never going to do something because I usually end up doing it. Like making pillows. I have tried making and selling pillows for years with varying degrees of success. The basic problem is: people do not like to buy pillowcases without the forms. I totally get it. It's a pain to have to buy two components of something, then put it together, and THEN enjoy it. It's so much nicer to just open a box and toss that fully put together pillow on your sofa, chair, or bed!
Buying bulk pillow forms, in order to offer them at a reasonable price to you, means needing a LOT of storage room. I got tired of having huge boxes of pillows strewn about my house.
Things are about to change in my life- bringing with the change, a lot more room. So guess what's happeninggggggg.... pillow form storage! Pillow form storage = pillows!
The minute I made a bandana with one of my block print designs, I thought, "this would make a really cute pillow!" but I was still in my anti-pillow-selling frame of mind, so I put the thought aside.
I made some mock-ups and gave them to relatives for Christmas. They're big and fluffy and so super cute. I'm working on a revised version of what I pictured here, so some more things need to come together. But look towards the spring for all your desert plants and animal themed bandana pillows! That's my goal!
Could you lmk when you have your pillows available for sale? I saw them at the blanton but wanted a different color.
Thanks
