Choose the fabrics and colors you like best, and I'll create a set of meditation cushions especially for you! Make your selection from the fabrics pictured below. These fabrics are usually in my stash and most are available immediately. (Occasionally a fabric is sold out before I get a chance to update this page; when this happens, I just order more, but it sometimes takes a few extra days to get it. If this happens, I'll notify you right away.)

The pictures represent just a sample of the dozens of fabrics I have available, in a wide variety of colors, motifs, themes, and design elements. I have piles of Asian-themed fabrics, with dragons, cranes, flowers, kanji script, bamboo, etc., as well as hundreds of other fabrics in a rainbow of colors. If you don't see the one that's just right for you, email me with your idea, as I may have just the thing in my fabric stash.
I do lots of custom work, and any zafu and/or zabuton I make can be customized to your specifications. I offer extra-large sets, crescent-shaped zafus, kapok stuffing, sangha pillows, and several colors and fabrics. Please look at my zafu-buying guide, Zen and the Art of Choosing Meditation Cushions, if you have general questions about meditation cushions. If your question isn't answered there, feel free to email me. The only silly question is the one you don't ask.



I've been making and selling these meditation sets for years, and I've sold hundreds of them to satisfied eBay buyers, many of them repeat customers. I've provided my handmade cushions to Zen centers around the U.S. as well as to individual practitioners in local zendos. I'm a one-woman operation, so every single cushion is handmade by me. Every aspect of your purchase receives my personal attention. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about materials, construction, etc. Making these cushions is a part of my own practice; it constitutes a combination of skillful means and right livelihood, so I'm absolutely committed to your satisfaction.

"To make objects by hand in an industrial society -- to work slowly and uneconomically against the grain-- is to offer, however inadvertently, a critique." -- Rosemary Hill
