Bantal Kekabu (Kapok Pillow)

Finally! I finally managed to finished the pillow project. Only a pillow, one, uno but it took me yearsss to finished it. LOL. Simply because I do not want any debris remain in the kekabu.



The materials I used:
- cotton fabric
- kapok
plus of course sewing machine and a pair of scissors










The kekabu was sold at RM 12/kg - mind you that was few years back =p













The half filled pillow.














And of course the final product.

I managed to have this 1 pillow (50cm x 80cm) and another 2 small (very small ones) for the boys (I have no intention of showing it here as its already stained with designs of 'maps' from many forms of liquid) with some extras.


Yeah 1kg only gets you a pillow but the cost is only like RM 15 with the material (even trough it took me years to finish it).

Duck feather pillow could easily fetch RM50 and that is during sale plus kekabu is much better to rest your head on than polyester.
