handwoven textile design

 NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE: We have many NEW pillows shown on our IG account which is @sosumiweaving

PILLOWS:

Pillows are a new addition to our line.

MATERIALS:  The field on the FRONT of the pillow is made of one or more pieces of our handwoven bamboo fabric.  The framing and sashing (if any) of the field is made of a variety of fabrics: black cotton flannel; or microsuede in either black or chamois. The BACK is a solid piece of the same material used on the FRONT.  On the bottom edge of the pillow there is an invisible zipper sewn in.  Our label is on the back.  The pillow insert (which comes with the pillow) is either non-allergenic synthetic down quill-less feathers. We do not offer any discount for “no insert.”

SIZE:  The pillow case is sewn to 24" X 24"; the pillow insert is 26" X 26".  The finished pillow is approximately 20" X 20" by 8" thick.  Each one weighs about 5 lbs.

AVAILABILITY:  We do not make the pillows as a regular item. When we have the time and the material available, we make a few pairs––only in pairs.  The pieced pillows are mirror-matched.  We will soon be creating what we call “single-field” pillows (the front will be one piece of the hand-woven fabric). These also will be sold only as pairs.

We tend to show the pillows only in our western shows; it is just unfeasible, in terms of bulk, to show them on the East Coast. Truth be told, we tend to have them available on line before we schlep them to shows––again, trying to avoid the cumbersome transport.

There is, however, a way to jump the queue: e-mail us to put you on The List. The people on the pillow e-mail list will be sent notice, w/pix, when new pillows are completed, before they appear in any show, before they are put up on this website.

SPECIAL NOTE: As of this writing (February 8th, 2022) we have some pillows available but have not photographed them yet. (Our stock in hand sold to zero in our recent Park City and Sun Valley shows.) We can send you images, quick pics, of what we have/ what we are working on.If you see something you like, let us know. We cannot duplicate what we have done before. Each pair of pieced pillows is born of a unique context of our handwoven fabric available, and that moment’s design jones. We can make a game effort to come reasonably close to what you see that you like. We would, of course, send you some sort of mock-up for your approval prior to any cutting and sewing.
