With the obsession of photo sharing on social networks, it’s no wonder Instagram has become so popular, and 'Stitchtagram' is a new way to share these memories. The company is run by two siblings by the name of Doug and Rachel Pfeffer, and their website allows you to design various pillows as you please.
The Pfeffer’s believe that memories should be kept beyond a Facebook album or Instagram feed. Although people may not be printing photos as much anymore, the sentimental value of having pictures up around your home or office is always nice. The photos are digitally printed on linen-cotton canvas, and the back of the pillows have an envelop-style closure.
These pillows are a great way to capture memories, and would also make for a great personalized gift.
