I’ve been making these one of a kind animal pillows lately. The bodies are made from vintage 1970′s double knit wool ski sweaters. I started collecting them when I moved to Colorado when I saw them popping up at vintage shops. I couldn’t resist the colors & stripes. The applique’s are wool felt & then everything is hand embroidered onto the pillows. They are surely a labor of love because each one ends up taking me much longer then I expect.

O my goodness I love that fox pillow!
I want one of those fox pillows for my son. He has a stuffed fox that is his best friend and he would love this pillow.
Thanks Kris! This guy is a permanent fixture in out living room & my kids love them too! I’ll let you know if I get the urge to make more. All the best, Elke

Any chance I could get you to make me a bunny pillow?
I would make it worth your time!
Thanks!
Hello! I’m sorry to say that I’m not making pillows at this time. Partly because the beautiful wool knit they are made from is very, very hard to find. Currently I’m up to my eyeballs in leather & wools that get made into one of a kind handbags & accessories. Hoping to have an on line shop up & running after the new year so stay tuned!
All the best, elke
