Tips For Buying Initial Pillows
by Estela Bolton
Initial pillows are a fashion forward trend at present. Everyone wants one in their homes where they are being used in bedrooms, on couches and chairs and just about anywhere else. They also make great personalized gifts that everyone loves receiving.
Many different fabrics are used in making these items. When buying one, it is worthwhile choosing one made of quality fabrics rather than just going for appearance. The pillow needs to keep its color and texture, looking good for many years. Fabric choice often depends on the purpose for which the pillow is being purchased. Burlap is a fashionable choice right now. Cotton and linen are always popular fabrics and other unusual fabrics like felt and cotton canvas are also being used for their unique textures.
Initials come in many different fonts, styles and colors. Customers are often given a choice of font and color used. They may decide to use a first name, surname, a letter with special meaning or even a combination of initials. Color chosen will depend on the purpose for which it is being bought.
There are a variety of different methods for applying of the initials to the fabric. Some of these are more labor intensive than others, for example hand embroidery and painting or stenciling. A method involving less labor is to cut the letters out of fabric and sew them on.
A pillow like this adds a personal touch to any room. So many different colors are available, making it easy to select those that compliment a particular color scheme. For example, a pillow with a bold bright red letter looks great in the bedroom decorated in primary colors. A plain color in a classic font compliments a more sophisticated interior and a white burlap pillow with a letter in a grey antique font may be perfect for a more vintage setting.
Selecting removable covers makes washing much easier as they are simple to take off and put on again. An envelope enclosure is often preferable to a zip. Zips can break quite easily, particularly when the pillow is washed frequently.
The seams of the pillow need to be well sewn and they are often double stitched to make them stronger. A pillow may be filled with a number of different materials and choice will depend on personal preference. Some are filled with down and others with synthetic fiber. There are those with hypo-allergenic fillings, suitable for those suffering from allergies.
These items make wonderful gifts for baby showers, weddings and any other special occasions. Their personal nature makes them highly desirable and they can be kept as special mementos of the occasion for many years. Any bride and groom would appreciate a pillow specially monogrammed with their initials.
