WordPress Limited Edition Pillow

I’m always looking for new and interesting ideas for taking something, like a t-shirt for example, and turning it into a work of art or a fun thing to have around my office.

Thanks to Matt Mullenweg, the man behind WordPress I was able to get another Limited Edition WordPress shirt to use for a project.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the WordPress Limited Edition… pillow:

WordPress Pillow

Of course I didn’t want to do this with my one and only WordCamp 2006 WordPress shirt because I actually wear it around town… gotta support and promote WordPress, but because there was an overstock of t-shirts from WordCamp and other events, they put them up for sale on December 14, 2006 and I purchased another one just for this project.

It’s nothing too tricky really. I just went to my local Wal-Mart and purchased a pillow insert, then cut the shirt to size for the pillow, sewed it all together, including adding a hidden zipper so the shirt can be removed for washing and Tah-Da! Instant WordPress pillow for my office when I need to take a nap from a full day of blogging.

I do have to admit, I didn’t do the sewing, I’m good but not that good. I have my lady to thank for being creative and putting my idea together.

Who knows, maybe Matt and the WordPress crew will be inspired to create actual stuff like this for WordPress users to purchase?

    Man, that would be awesome if they sold this kind of stuff. I think it’s possible with CafePress, a white pillow.

    Maybe if I use it to sleep, by means of osmosis it might help me memorize the template tags.

    I love the idea – very geeky – much better than T-shirts and other things of what we already have enough and cool stuff of.

    [...] Und nun werden sogar T-Shirts zweckentfremdet, um sich ein Kissen mit den Wordpress Counterfeit zu basteln. [...]

    You mean I can’t purchase that fluffy little tidbit? What an injustice!

    [...] Als WP gebruiker lijkt me dit toch wel een leuke accessoire voor op het dekbed! [...]
