6 months later and I have made 57 pillows!!!  Did anyone else end up making them?  I'd love to see pictures.

 

I thought I would post since my sister came up with a great saying to attach to them... "Siesta so you can Fiesta"

 

Also to all the ladies thinking of making these, it is a commitment.  But once my sewing machine and I made friends it became a lot easier.  I just had to fool around with the tension and...well not be scared of the machine. 

 

I did cut some corners... I didn't sewing the opening so it had a hem.  I just left it as the terry cloth kind of rolls.  I also folded it so the opening ran the long way across.  Less sewing and it was a lot easier to get the pillow in.

 

Wedding is in May, hopefully everyone uses them. I know I will

 

Few pictures of them rolled up.  I just rolled the two together and tied with rafita.

Love ""Siesta so you can Fiesta""!  Such a cute idea!  I love sleeping on the beach so this would be great.... for me at least

Your pillows look great! Where did you find the inflatable inserts?

[PaperBagPrincess]

I ordered the inserts from here...

Works out to $1 a pillow plus the shipping costs.  Which I don't remember being a lot.

 

We are on vacation this week.  I will let you know how the test run with mine goes

Just checked shipping and it's an additional $41.26. Too bad that's almost the same amount as the order!
