    Gift wrapping by LisaCreativeDesignCo

    All pillows & small items may be gift wrapped at an extra fee. Large items like lamps cannot be gift wrapped but I am happy to include a gift note.

If you are looking for a meaningful keepsake created from a loved one’s clothing, a custom memory pillow can become something truly comforting to hold close.

These handmade memory pillows are thoughtfully created from meaningful garments such as Grandma’s wedding dress, Dad’s favorite shirt, a child’s little league jersey, or other treasured clothing filled with special memories. Whether honoring someone dearly missed or preserving a cherished moment in life, each pillow is designed to bring comfort, connection, and remembrance.

Every pillow is individually handcrafted with great care and attention to detail. Whenever possible, I thoughtfully preserve special features of the original garment — including buttons, pockets, collars, lace, and tie-backs — helping retain the familiar character and memory of the clothing itself. Patchwork and multi-garment designs are also available for families wishing to incorporate several meaningful pieces into one keepsake.

Unlike mass-produced memory items, each pillow is custom made one at a time using the garments you provide. My goal is always to create a keepsake that feels personal, comforting, and worthy of the memories attached to it.

These custom memory pillows make heartfelt bereavement gifts, memorial keepsakes, wedding memory gifts, Christmas gifts, and remembrance gifts for family members.

Each pillow is custom made to order with care, patience, and respect for every piece entrusted to me.

I CAN ALSO DO RECTANGLE PILLOWS IF NEED BE TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EACH GARMENT. CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

CHOOSE YOUR DESIGN

•SIMPLE PILLOW~ a simple square, "no frills" pillow made from one garment. Features one layer of fabric, like with a shirt. Optional Personalized Patch/Applique.

•PATCHWORK DESIGN~ Pillow made with a patchwork design using more than ONE garment. Design can be up to 9 different pieces of fabric on the front. I have done pillows with 3 or 4 pieces as well. (Feel free to message me for photos) The back will be a solid piece of fabric or two different pieces. Optional personalized appliques with or without photo are included in this design.

•FANCY PILLOW ~ I have the most fun with these pillows and they are extra special! These pillows can include two layers of fabric (like lace over satin from a wedding gown) and can be embellished with added buttons, straps, handmade fabric flowers, bows, lace, etc. The sky is the limit with these pillows. Optional Personalized appliques with or without photo are included in this design.

***THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $10 IF YOU WANT SCRAPS RETURNED TO YOU. ***
***If you would like a photo applique please send me the photo via Etsy messaging system. A short phrase can also be added under the photo.

I got this for my mother-in-law, whose husband passed away a few years ago. She was actually about to give his clothes away, so I decided to surprise her by having them sewn into a memory pillow instead. It came out so wonderfully! It’s the perfect way to remember him. If you’re looking for a special keepsake for a loved one, I’d definitely recommend it.
