Hi, I'm the hands behind Pillows & Stuff

I sew because I can't not. It's as simple — and as complicated — as that.

How it all started

It started with a love of fabric, color, and the joy of making something with my own two hands. Growing up in Houston, I was always drawn to crafting — sewing pillows, stitching aprons, putting together little things that made a house feel like a home.

I started making seasonal pieces — football pillows for game day, Halloween wreaths for the front door, Christmas stockings for the mantle — and friends kept asking where they could get one. Along the way I fell in love with rustic vintage fabrics too: toile prints, script patterns, earthy solids that feel timeless and collected. So I started selling at local Houston markets, and the response was more than I ever expected.

Today, every pillow, apron, and rustic vintage piece is still made by hand, one at a time, in my Houston studio. I also make custom aprons for parties and events — painting parties, cooking classes, pottery nights, kids' birthdays — in any fabric, any size, any quantity. The collection changes with the seasons, because there's always something worth celebrating.

What I believe in

Made with intention

Every item is sewn and crafted one at a time. I don't rush the process — good things take time.

Quality fabrics & materials

I choose fabrics and materials I'd want in my own home — durable, beautiful, and made to last.

Truly one-of-a-kind

No two pieces are identical. That's not a flaw — it's the whole point of handmade.

How I make things

Choose the fabric

I start by sourcing seasonal and themed fabrics — football prints, Halloween patterns, holiday plaids, spring florals. I make every effort to upcycle fabric and have found local shops that will donate fabric.k

Cut & sew by hand

Every pillow, apron, and liner is cut and sewn by hand in my Houston studio. This is the part I love most.

Finish with care

I take time with every seam, every button, every bow. The details are what make a handmade piece special.

Find it a home

At markets or through this site, each piece finds the person it was meant for. That part never gets old.

Want a custom piece or party aprons?

Whether it's your team colors, a specific holiday, or a bulk apron order for a painting party, cooking class, or pottery night — I'd love to make something just for you.
