Sister Claire,
I have been making my own pillows for years. I just use the polystyrene you
get for a few shekels at the building center and I cut it to shape. No need
to sew a cover you just pin it on. When it is gone or the holes get too deep
you throw it away. Not a big expanse. As the years passed I changed the
design a bit. I used the thinner polystyrene but put another three layers
in different sizes on it . The material I used was cut out of the
backpackers mats, they are thin and hold the pins beautifully.
As to bobbins. While on my tour with OIDFA this summer I saw a good idea
for making your own bobbins. You use the plastic part which you knock into
the wall, the piece you screw in your screw later , use a large screw and
the part between the top of the screw and the plastic will hold your thread.
It is what we call in Israel "a dibble". You can also use pencils and cloths
pegs for making bobbins, or use skewers with beads to make bobbins.
