Attention to Detail
Our embroidered pocket pillows are one of the most time intensive products that we create! The embroidery on the Mother Hen pocket pillow is done on two separate layers of fabric. The embroidery takes place on a machine overseen by a skilled operator who manually changes threads each time the color changes. After the stitching is completed, it takes about two hours for each pillow to be expertly hand sewn and finished with care, along with additional time to sew up each pal, and this pillow has two!

Pillow Cover:
- Embroidered on 100% linen fabric. Back fabric is 100% linen. Includes two removable poly-fil stuffed pals.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified.
- We use linen that is made from 100% unbleached and undyed natural flax fiber. There is an inherent beauty in the shade variation from one crop to another.
Care:
- Linen is an incredibly durable fabric, and can be laundered in many ways. Over time, linen softens with multiple washes, enhancing the texture of the fabric. If you prefer a natural linen look, feel free to machine wash on a gentle cycle, line dry, then iron the backside of the embroidery on a steam setting. Before doing so, remove pals from their pockets and turn the case inside out. Spot clean pals separately. To keep your linens crisp and smooth, consider spot clean treatments or dry cleaning.

In Stitches: The Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk
Featured in Oprah's Top 10 Best Gift Books!
"In Stitches: the Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk" is an exploration of the story, craft and creative process of Coral & Tusk founder and artist Stephanie Housley, sharing a life's work of drawing and embroidery inspired by cherished memories and her joyous appreciation of the natural world.
Every collection begins with abundant research, drawing from a wide variety of inspiration.
Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs by putting pencil to paper. Every collection begins with abundant research and each individual design stems from her original hand-drawn illustrations.
Stephanie then scans her original drawing, creating a digital file. She redraws the design, stitch by stitch, using specialized software.
Once her designs are digitized, Stephanie connects with our partners in India to begin production. Together they work to perfect each design, finalizing layouts and colors. Our partners in India implement ethical working conditions and provide fair wages.
Once the design is perfected, it is machine embroidered in India by our embroidery partner of over ten years. The large scale embroidery machines make it possible for us to scale Stephanie’s creative process with the flexibility of small production runs.
Nearly all of our products are embroidered on 100% unbleached and undyed linen, avoiding the pollutants found in standard textile dying practices and reducing water consumption. Our linen begins as a flax plant in Lithuania and is then wet spun into yarn at an ISO 9001 company in West Bengal, India, before arriving in Bangalore, India for weaving. All of our linen fiber is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, confirming that it does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals.
Sewing is the final step of our production process. Every Coral & Tusk embroidery is transformed into the final product by our long-time tailors who expertly hem and stitch every piece for you to enjoy in your home.
