Memory Pillow | Made From Baby or Loved Ones' Clothing

Memory Pillow – Made from Your Clothing

Preserve meaningful clothing pieces by turning them into a custom, handmade keepsake pillow cover. Memory pillows are a beautiful way to honor a special season of life — from baby clothes to adult garments — and create something you can display and cherish for years.

Each pillow cover is thoughtfully pieced, stabilized, and hand-finished to create a soft but structured keepsake.

Size

• Accomodates 18" x 18" pillow insert

• Because each pillow is handmade from clothing, slight size variation is normal and expected

• This is a pillow cover with an envelope-style opening in the back. You will need to purchase a pillow insert separately. 

Clothing Requirements

The number of clothing items needed for the patchwor option depends on size, fabric type, and design of the garments.

Baby / Toddler Clothes

• Approx. 6–10 items

• Onesies, sleepers, shirts, pants, dresses, etc.

Adult Clothes

• Approx. 3–5 items

• T-shirts, sweatshirts, flannel shirts, etc.

If you’re unsure whether you have enough clothing, feel free to message me before ordering.

Backing Fabric

• The pillow backing will be solid white cotton by default and will be an envelope style backing to insert the pillow insert into. 

• If you would prefer a different solid color, please note this at checkout or message me prior to production, immediately after placing your order, at dulciesattic@gmail.com

Care Instructions

This pillow cover is made from sentimental clothing that has been stabilized with interfacing. Therefore, excessive washing can stretch or distort the clothing used to piece the pillow cover together over time.

• Spot clean only

• Do not machine wash, soak, or tumble dry

• Lay flat to air dry if needed

• For seasonal storage, store in a clean, dry place

• A cotton pillowcase or breathable storage bag is recommended for long-term storage

• Avoid vacuum sealing or long-term compression

• Gently fluff when removing from storage to restore shape

This keepsake is intended for decorative or gentle use.

Turnaround Time

• Approximately 7–10 days 

• Turnaround begins once the clothing arrives to me, not from the order date

If you need a pillow cover by a specific date, please contact me before ordering at dulciesattic@gmail.com
