These lovely MEMORY PILLOWS come in four different sizes and can be personalized with the person's initials, or a short message. For a slight upcharge, we can even include the collar! What makes our memory pillows unique? 1. Our Pillow Covers are removable: so that they can be washed and cushions can be replaced. 2. Our pillows have recessed zippers for easy removal: They are recessed so they are concealed behind the fabric. 3. We offer a variety of sizes: 12x16, 14x14, 16x16, and 18x18. All pillow covers are measured edge-to-edge without the pillow insert and include a half-inch seam allowance on all sides for a snug fit. The listed dimensions are for the pillow insert size, and the cover will fit slightly smaller once filled for a full and plush look. If you prefer a looser fit, please consider sizing up or message us if you need a custom size.
Care Instructions: It is recommended to wash your pillow cover inside-out in cold water on the gentle cycle.
From adult clothes, we will need AT LEAST One shirt of any size to make a memorial pillow. Feel free to send two if you want one used for each side of the pillow to make a double-sided pillow. Please keep in mind that if there is a large logo on your shirt, that it may not all fit on your pillow depending on the size pillow that you choose.
T-shirts, sweatshirts, crewnecks, hoodies, pullovers are all great for these pillows. If you want to use a button-down or zip-up shirt or sweatshirt, please see our Button-Down Memory Pillow product listing. Any and all leftover fabric will be returned to you with your finished keepsake pillow, upon request. PLEASE NOTE: Shipping is calculated at checkout and covers the memory item itself. We make every effort to return your leftover fabric. If sending it back noticeably increases the package size or weight and raises our shipping cost, there is a charge to return it. To cover this, add the Fabric Scrap Return Service to your order at checkout. If it is not added, we will invoice you for the shipping difference. Upon request, any unused materials (outside of scraps that can fit inside of a ziplock bag) will be shipped back at the expense of the customer. So please be mindful of how much clothing you send and try to adhere to the recommendations provided above. If you have excess clothing, you will be sent an invoice for the shipping cost. We'll gladly hold on to any excess items for you for up to 30 days, after that time, they will be either discarded or donated.
If you have specific items you would like to use other than what is listed above, or if you're unsure of what and how much to send, please contact us BEFORE placing your order. **The pillows in these photos are not for sale. They are examples only.** Made in a smoke-free & pet-free environment.
