Imagine coordinating all of your child’s bedroom pillows — with some personalization to boot. With Bella Marie's personalized pillows, you can.
Seamstress and Etsy shop-owner, Marie Villa,
loves personalized items, as do her children. To Marie, her name
pillows are "the perfect projects to make that not only coordinate with
a room's colors, but also personalize it at the same time.”
Marie used an assortment of Heather Bailey Freshcut fabrics for
the “Emme Pillow” below. Other materials include a background fabric
(Marie used a solid, pre-quilted fabric) Heat n' Bond™ Lite, stuffing,
and lots of thread.
According
to Marie, this is a simple design to make. Each pillow takes about 2
hours to complete. "The letters are the only thing that can get tricky
– but with practice you can get them just right."
for $6.95. However, if you don't have the skills nor the time to make
your own customized pillows — but you love homemade, you’re in luck.
Marie will make a custom one for you. Contact Marie through her Etsy
shop, Bella Marie Designs, to place your custom order. Keep in mind, longer names such as Savannah can be fit onto a slightly longer pillow.
If you don’t have a little guy or girl in mind, Marie suggests a “Mom” pillow for mother’s day or a special “Grandma” pillow
with grandchildren’s names hand-embroidered around the pillow's front.

These are lovely! What a great item from your fabrics!
I’ve seen those on ycmt.com. They are super cute.
Oh, yes. I love.:):)
Hey, that “Emme” pillow was made by Marie for my daughter, Emme in 2007. It is one of our most treasured possessions. It has moved from Emme’s crib to her toddler bed to her big girl bed and is such a special, personal addition:)
Those are amazing and so colorful. A great gift idea
That is so cute! I must make them! My kids have unique names that you do not find on toothbrushes and note pads, so I have to make anything that is personalized for them.
Oh yay! I love Marie!! She is super talented and one of my favorite bloggy friends (and she has great taste in fabric)!!
The pillows are lovely.
Thanks for featuring them, so we can enjoy them!
Those pillows are simply gorgeous! I’ve been looking for unique throw pillows for our living room….now I need to figure out which words to use….hmmmmm…..
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this gem of a store! I plan to order a pillow for my daughter.. whose name is going to be Savannah. Perfect!!
Those are amazing! I love them…makes me wish I could sew.
Oh my. Another “why-didn’t-I-think-of-that moment.” 🙂
We have 2 of her gorgeous pillows in Fresh Cut fabrics for our daughters , Tessa and Eden, and we LOVE them!!!
Yay! You featured my dear friend, Marie! She does such an awesome job on these pillows. Each of my children have them and not only do we adore them, but we have gotten many compliments from visitors who see them.
Those are adorable! And it’s so nice to have something personalized! Btw, I would love to be featured. I have made several shoes out of your fabrics–some slouch boots and ballet flats. You can see some examples of my things on my blog and items made specifically out of your fabric I posted to your flickr awhile back. I love your way with color–it’s very inspirational. I hope you work with organics some day! Thanks for beign a design maven!
The pillows are very beautiful, I liked the appliques and I bought this font for my embroidery machine.
I speak a little english, I’m French living in the West Indies.
Thanks for all images
Those pillows are really beautiful. Ofcourse, how could they not be with your fabric! Gorgeous!
Nice blog, its great article informative post, thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the information!
Excellent!
We do not at all times get our hopes and dreams, and we never generally get our very own way.
But do not quit hope, since you could make a variation a person scenario and just one man or woman at a time.
