pillow talk

[saraara.livejournal.com]

so i'm making some pillows for my apartment. now i've made pillows before, and i stuffed them with the normal fluffy stuff you buy in a bag, i'm sure you know what i'm talking about. so my issue with this is that the pillows turn out kinda lumpy, and i constantly had to squish them around to fix the lumps. maybe i didn't use enough fluffy stuff, i've got no idea.

so basically i am wondering what any of you have used when making pillows. any secrets to making sure they keep their shape? i don't really want to buy already made pillows and use them, i'd rather stuff them myself. they're probably going to be somewhat small squares and rectangles (i.e. not standard pillow size).

thanks in advance :D
