This fabric would be perfect for the back side of a Delta Gamma pillow. On the front, use a white background and paint or appliqué your yellow or blue letters along with an ANCHOR for great looking pillow. A simple To set the pillow off, use a ruffle at the joining seam, or cording for a more tailored look.
I wish sorority fabric designs like this one were not so hard to find. This beautiful fabric that is perfect for a dreamy Delta Gamma pillow is for sale today, but may not be here tomorrow. There is a link below if it is still available on eBay.

I just finished sewing this Delta Alpha Sigma pillow and I love the way it turned out!
The Sorority Gifts Etsy shop offers custom made sorority pillows like this and I haven't turned down a request yet. I do get quite busy sometimes, so always check with me before you order if you have an important deadline.
Do you like to make your own sorority gifts? If so, take a look at our Gamma Phi Beta pillow article. I explain there the basics of making pillows like this on. We also have ideas for some sorority gifts on our Sorority Crafts page.
If you would like to order one of my pillows, get your order in soon to avoid being disappointed. If I get too many orders, I have to catch up on my sewing and painting before I can relist the custom pillow for order.
I really enjoy making the sorority pillows. At this point, I'm still taking orders. I have not yet gotten so busy that I've had to shut down.
I have made pillows with handpainted sorority mascots for Delta Zeta, Kappa Delta (the frog and the teddy bear-depending on request), Chi Omega owl, Phi Mu lion or ladybug, Alpha Delta Pi lion, Alpha Omicron Pi Panda, ZTA crown, Delta Sigma Theta elephant, AKA frog, KK Gamma owl, Alpha Gamma Delta squirrel, and many more.

Pillow Embroidered with Alpha Chi Omega Sorority Letters
This is a simple sorority pillow, but it has a classic look. Green and Red are two of Alpha Chi Omega sorority's colors, so choosing a green and white gingham for the backgroud and red for the letters is a welcome choice. Making the letters in red and the background in green rather than a red background and green letters assures that the letters are noticed.
The ruffle gives the pillow a feminine touch plus it adds to the distinctive look of the pillow (rather than a plain pillow edge)
So if you plan to make a sorority pillow, consider these three things:
1. Choose your colors wisely. They matter most of all.
2. A simple pillow with just the Greek letters is often the classiest.
3. Incorporating a ruffle or piping at the edge makes a finer looking pillow than just a straight edge.

While living in GA in the 80s, I was asked to make dozens of special order sorority gifts for Georgia Southern sorority sisters thorough the Chatter Tree shop. We were always coming up with new sorority gift items, awards, paddles, banners, pillows, & brown jugs. Now I am sharing many of these ideas on this website, Sorority Sisters.net. We have a face book page for Sorority Gift Ideas;you can LIKE & post your pictures of handmade sorority gifts to share with others. This is a great opportunity to inspire one another to be creative in giving the gift of love in one-of-a-kind sorority gift making.
