I feel like I am so far behind because I have so much more experimentation to do and I haven't started making anything that will actually be on my dress.
Many people, like me, are in search of the pillow that will help them sleep comfortably. At night, you may sleep with your arm under your head for support, flip-flop from side-to-side, flip your pillow over because of overheating, basically robbing yourself of highly beneficial REM sleep.
