A client sent us a picture of an old ocean liner with four funnels, and in 2023 we turned it into a soft Titanic-style plush pillow. You can hug it on the couch or fall asleep on it. We made it to order, for that one person and the way they wanted it. Nothing here was waiting on a shelf.
From a picture to a pillow
The picture was a painted ship on the water: a black hull, white decks, tall funnels and two masts. A pillow can't keep every railing and lifeboat, so we kept the parts you'd recognize from across the room.
- A black hull with a gray anchor on the bow
- A white deck with a row of round gray portholes, and a smaller upper deck with more of them
- Four brown funnels with black tops, soft enough to squeeze
- Two thin masts, one at each end
The hull is wide and round, so the ship stands on its own on a shelf or a bed. The deck between the rails is a soft beige. Pick it up and it's a cushion. Put it down and it's a ship again.
A ship pillow made for hugging
We sewed it from soft, hypoallergenic materials and filled it so it squishes in your arms. In one of the photos it gets held like a teddy bear. That's the whole point of a ship pillow.
Your ship doesn't have to be an old liner. It can be the cruise ship you sailed on, a ferry from your hometown or a pirate ship from a book.
Send us your ship
A drawing, a photo or a postcard of any boat is enough. We'll tell you how we'd build it as a toy or a pillow.
- Any size, from a small shelf boat to a big pillow
- Your colors, a name on the bow or a date on the hull
- Cartoon-style or closer to the real ship
A pillow like this starts from $325, and the quote is free. You see photos of the finished toy before it ships. We're an independent studio, not connected to any shipping line or film. More ideas: Plush From Drawings, the Long Black Cat hug pillow and Dusty Crophopper, a plane we sewed from a cartoon.
The ship is built like a pillow: big, soft parts and no hard pieces inside.
- Soft white plush for the decks, beige for the deck floor
- Black fabric for the hull
- Brown funnels with black tops, and two brown masts
- Gray portholes and a gray anchor, sewn on as soft patches
- Soft hypoallergenic filling
All our materials are premium and hypoallergenic. We match the colors to your picture, so your ship can be red, blue or any color the real one had.
A pillow like this usually takes 2–4 weeks.
First we work out how to turn a flat picture into a shape you can hug. Then we draw the pattern, sew the hull and decks, and fill each funnel and mast on its own.
Before shipping, you get photos of the finished toy and can ask for changes. If it's for a birthday or another date, tell us in your first message.
We ship worldwide. Once the toy leaves the studio, delivery usually takes 7 to 20 business days, depending on your country and the carrier.
Mail slows down before the holidays. For a Christmas present, order by November 1.
Tell us when you need it, and we'll check that sewing and shipping both fit before you pay.
We've been sewing toys to order since 2009, and a lot of them started like this one, with a single picture.
Before we pack your toy, you get photos of it, and we fix anything that doesn't match what you asked for. If it arrives and you don't love it, you get a full refund within 14 days.

Why?
No ready-made pattern. Your photo or drawing doesn’t come with one. Our artist builds the pattern from scratch and turns a flat picture into a 3D toy. It’s the hardest and slowest part.
Materials picked for your toy. The right color, fur length and texture. Sometimes we order fabric just for one project.
Sewn by hand. Every piece is cut, sewn, stuffed and finished by hand. The face takes the most time: move an eye a millimeter and the character changes.
You approve it first. When your toy is ready, we send you photos. Something looks off? We fix it before shipping.
One toy, not a thousand. A factory spreads design costs over thousands of copies. Here, all that work goes into one toy: yours.
That’s why prices start at $350. And on a personal order, if you don’t love your toy, you get a full refund.
