I don't see any advantage of making it smaller, pillow cases are hard enough to get on as it is.Recycled Cottage & Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209720538924091082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-10627302141891964752016-12-02T12:43:48.842-06:002016-12-02T12:43:48.842-06:00Hi there I was wondering if I am making a pillow c...Hi there I was wondering if I am making a pillow case with a feather down pillow from the store would I need to make it the measurement of the pillow or 2 inches smaller (is what I was told) TIA<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451233018240405991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-73278216828455498632014-12-05T09:01:45.646-06:002014-12-05T09:01:45.646-06:00I was not the one that ordered the feathers so unf...I was not the one that ordered the feathers so unfortunately I cannot help you with that part. <br />If you have found a seller of feathers then I would contact them and ask their opinion.Recycled Cottage & Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209720538924091082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-63070808244083268772014-12-05T06:54:41.840-06:002014-12-05T06:54:41.840-06:00I see things like 10/90 or 5/90 with respect to do...I see things like 10/90 or 5/90 with respect to down feathers when ordering online. What does that mean? And how much weight in feathers to fill a pillow? They sell by quarter and half pound, but I don't know what that translates into 'pillow talk'. ;-) crosshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564662325898217129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-62113583534556591972014-11-13T01:58:20.209-06:002014-11-13T01:58:20.209-06:00Thank you for this information.

A reputable supplier will have facilities to do that. The caution is that Duck and Goose feathers will have a stronger smell than Chicken. The washing process must be diligent enough to remove the smell of the particular feathers. I speak from experience. I had a pillow stuffed with feathers that had not been washed properly. Washing and airing the pillows, both repeatedly, did not reduce the smell. I estimated that the ticking would have failed before the smell was gone. Sleeping on the pillow was just too bothersome. Sadly, I had to discard a pillow. I would strongly recommend checking the fine print before buying any feathers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-27178015047463626902013-03-28T04:51:39.508-05:002013-03-28T04:51:39.508-05:00Love the way of making home made duck feather pill...Love the way of making home made <a href="http://www.homescapesonline.com/White-Duck-Feather-Pillow-Pair/dp/B0056GWHLS/" rel="nofollow">duck feather pillows</a>. <br />Very interesting and info tutorial to make step by step feather pillows.<br />Thanks for the share step by step tutorial.<br />Keep it up!!!Daisy Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506514550421064076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-37088199281041877182012-05-16T11:14:48.222-05:002012-05-16T11:14:48.222-05:00Ah the memories you brought back.

They had the blue ticking just like that. Wow. I've seen 'down pillows' in the store but they just aren't the same. This looks like it might be exactly like hers. I might have to try my hand at this someday.1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-86292335014481530982012-05-16T10:11:12.323-05:002012-05-16T10:11:12.323-05:00My co-worker bought them from a company he found o...My co-worker bought them from a company he found online and talked them into selling him just 5 pounds. There was a local place he could have bought them, but the feather would not have been cleaned and probably not separated. I suggest an internet search or see if there is a chicken farmer in your area. You could also use duck or goose down.Recycled Cottage & Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209720538924091082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415127067455662123.post-18488129424094262892012-05-16T08:19:10.151-05:002012-05-16T08:19:10.151-05:00Love the idea of making my own feather pillow as m...Love the idea of making my own feather pillow as my down pillow is about gone.
