The idea that I had for my Senior Capstone was turning an idea that I had into something bigger and better. The.Pillowtalk was an idea that I had for a pillow company with my target market being college students or people that just wish to add an accessory to their home decor. However, as I worked throughout the year, I had the idea of making a care package for those in need. I experienced some difficulties along the process, for example, finding what materials work best for
pillows, how to incorporate lining, the best way to create a care package, and making sure the pillows look presentable. I had the opportunity to create pillows and care packages for 22 women. 

I am most proud of the process of making the packages. Cutting fabric, making sure it was accurate, stuffing them with poly fiber filling, and hand sewing them closed was a long process. However, I received a lot more practice with one thing that I consider a hobby. I am also proud to have done something positive for others. In the future, I hope to improve on my skill while also doing a great deed.
