Carlinha, I'm so glad that you started this thread! My SA told me about this service last Christmas, but I was hesitant to try it because I wasn't sure I'd like how the back would look. Your pillows are beautiful, and your choice of scarves are perfect, especially the Under The Waves design. Now I need to pull out scarves and start figuring out which ones to make into pillows!

First off all, I just need to say this. What beatiful bullies you have. I almost cried seeing these photos, as my dear English bull terrier dog died in an accident last week. But I love the photos, I love the dogs and of course I love the scarves. I am scarf girl myself, didn't know the scarves could be made in to pillows. I will definately speak to my SA about this.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos.

Just WOW! Thank you for sharing these pillows! Now I kind of regret getting only one scarf when I love the design! Love your choices but that Magic Kelly is especially eye-catching! It will brighten up my day any day! Thank you for sharing this. What a great product / service!

hahahaha i felt the same way, or some scarves i sold because i couldn't wear them, but would have looked great as pillows! i actually have 1 more Under The Waves i might make into a pillow as well, and 2 more Parures des Maharajas (when i fall in love with a print, i really fall for it LOL!)
the Magic Kelly is something special isn't it!! do you have the same colorway?

These are so beautiful (I saw them on your Insta also). So the design needs to look good at a 45 degree angle, right? I'm not sure that will work with the one scarf I love that doesn't love me back.

The zipper and closure look fantastic and well-done!

hi! yes exactly, if you have a photo of the scarf, rotate it 45 degrees to get the idea of how the front of the pillow will look... that's what i did to play around with the designs and make sure they looked good as a pillow. unfortunately does not work for some designs, like my favorite Le Pegase gets cut off this way.

i love the way they did the closure and zipper as well! great touch!

so glad i could give you an idea how they would look!! i took a leap of faith as i had wanted to do these for a long time, but yes i was pretty nervous how they would turn out as well. i knew some of the more symmetric designs would be OK but was pretty nervous about the Under the Waves, my SA was the one who actually suggested it and i am so happy with how it turned out that i have 1 more colorway i may make into a pillow as well!

can't wait to see what designs you choose!!

I hope it makes sense what I say that the corners are folded over in the back, so when you envision your scarf as a pillow, if you have a pic of it, rotate the pic 45 degrees to get a sense of what the front of the pillow would look like and what parts of the design are cut off...

For example.... Left pic is the original full scarf design, and right is rotated 45 degrees and how it would look as a pillow:
