throw pillows for jim thompson covers?
 
hi all,
so I've come home from bangkok with a great selection of jim thompson silk throw pillow covers, but now realize I have no idea where to buy simple pillows! Any suggestions? Everywhere I look has frilly pillows and already decorative..
thanks!

WalMart, Kmart and their like sell pillows to fit many standard pillow cover sizes. Fabric stores also carry these.

Try fabric or craft stores; they sell throw pillow inserts.

my wife buys them at fabric shops like jo-anne's fabrics....

anyone have any idea what size those covers are? I'm guessing 12 x 12. Found a great site with throw pillow inserts (www.wholesalepillowinserts.com).

Where do you live? I found a variety of pillows at the Fabric Place in Framingham, MA. Do NOT order them by mail. You should really bring your pillow covers to the store and get assistance with selecting the correct size, as I did. I was advised to get pillows that were a size "up" (I think that's right) from the pillow covers so they would fit snugly. I covered all the pillows right then and there at the store to be assured of the right size! If you can get a sale on down-filled pillows, they're the way to go for comfort. I would imagine that your new JT silk pillow covers are deserving of down pillows! Good luck.

hey everybody, along with checking out the Jim Thompson main store, where else should I look for good quality/good selection silk fabric (fabric only - not made into anything)? Does JT sell that stuff also??

Thanks... Ken
