Learn Korean hand sewing while making traditional Korean pillows which are cylindrical with broad, flat surfaces at each end, covered in intricate embroidery or patchwork. For centuries, Koreans believed that pillow decorations could influence the sleeper’s dreams and that auspicious ones could make wishes come true.
