Custom Keepsake Pillow Made from 2 or More Items
Our Patchwork Memory Pillow is a unique, handcrafted keepsake made from two or more pieces of your loved one’s clothing, combining them into a single pillow front. This allows you to include more memories, colors, and patterns, capturing the essence of multiple clothing items in one huggable keepsake.
Whether made from t-shirts, dress shirts, pajamas, sweaters, or other meaningful clothing items, each pillow is completely unique, created to balance logos, patterns, and colors into a visually pleasing and comforting design. Patchwork memory pillows are ideal for memorial gifts, sympathy gifts, or simply preserving memories of someone special for yourself or a family member.
Each pillow can be made in various sizes to best fit the clothing items you provide, and all pillows feature a hidden zipper opening so the pillow insert can be easily removed for washing. Personalization is available with embroidery, allowing you to add a name, poem, or special message.
