One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead...
I've had the idea for these pillows for about ten years now, but I finally sat down to work on them last month. These punk rock pillows are made with authentic 100% brushed cotton tartan plaids. I didn't want to just stick a zipper on, all messy and punk rock-like (I know... the messiness is anti establishment.. blah blah blah) so I separated the zipper and backed it with either a super colorful polyester satin from the 60's or some really great moire I picked up back in the 80's when the Prince of Chintz reigned supreme!
These little gems are further spruced up with pins, buttons, badges, iron-ons, feathers and gorgeous embroidery done with vintage cotton thread. Each pillow is generously stuffed with premium fiberfill and gently hand stitched closed. Each pillow measures approximately 12" x 12" and are all one of a kind! They will be added to my Etsy store soon... I promise!! The yellow one is just a prototype and has been loved nearly to death... so ignore the lumps and bumps because that one isn't for sale :D
