5 out of 5 starsOnce again I am stunned by the expert craftsmanship and diligence paid to detail on these pillow covers. Having ordered here before, my expectations were high, but were now superseded by this artisan. I couldn't be happier and am looking forward to future jobs for decorating my new place. So appreciative of the thoughtful consideration of my needs and the designs to accommodate them.

5 out of 5 starsThese are the best mid-century modern pillows out there. The fabric is of the best quality and the craftsmanship is without equal. I have ordered many premade pillows from this store before. This is the first time I have requested a custom order. The results were better than I could have hoped for when they arrived. The vibrancy of the fabric, the attention to detail, the care taken to match the patterns, all well worth the investment to get such a quality product that will last a lifetime. I will be coming back again and again as I continue to decorate and will be recommending all my friends to do so as well. OUTSTANDING STORE!

Finding a creative outlet for my vast collection of fabulous fabrics!
My Story:
I've been sewing since I was about 8, way back in the 1960's! I started making little outfits for myself with a needle and thread. When my mom got a Singer sewing machine that same year, I started learning to sew like a "big girl". All through junior and senior high, in the 70s, I took sewing and costume design classes. Sewing was such fun...although it didn't keep me off the streets! ;)
Always feeling a need to create things I took many art courses in college and beyond.
I used to do something special and unique with terra cotta pots, fabric, paint and polyurethane. (My pots shop here is SunstrokeStudio.com ) I sold my pots at craft fairs across the country for 10 years and had a wonderful time!
But, the lure of retro barkcloth, both vintage and reproduction, became a huge collection and then a business idea...
I began making purses with my retro fabrics in 2008. I sold them on etsy and did a nice business. (AtomicLivin.com)
Then, one day, I got an email from a brilliant someone who suggested I make pillows.What a great idea! Several wonderful years later, things are moving along beautifully. You can now choose from almost 200 styles of covers in multiple sizes, as well as some pretty neat tile coasters with my fabulous fabrics on them!
As I increase my fabric collection regularly, expect to see more patterns emerge.
I'm enjoying sewing for all of my wonderful customers and deeply appreciate the fact that people are happy to have what I make in their homes and businesses. What a feeling! :)
I am a perfectionist, so you'll only get a product that I would be pleased to display and enjoy in my own home. No cutting corners here!
Many thanks and blessings to you ~
Robin :)

Growing up in the late 1950s, 60s and 70s was magical! So many wonderful, yet, simple things from that time are gone away ...now, I keep them in my heart... Vintage fabrics from the era have a special place there!
