Memory bears, cushions, blankets and more!


Transforming your cherished clothing into personalised keepsakes is a beautiful way to honour and preserve your memories. Items like bears, cushions, and blankets serve as comforting and heartwarming reminders of your most treasured moments, helping to keep those precious memories alive.


Throughout every stage of the process, starting from the time you entrust us with your cherished garments to when you receive your selected piece, we handle your clothing with the utmost care, preserving the precious memories they embody. We understand that you may have a specific image in your mind of how you want your treasured item to appear, and our seamstress will diligently note your preferences and strive to create a keepsake that aligns with your vision.


We have fulfilled numerous requests for additional accessories in the past, including bowties, waistcoats, bows, and more. Our talented seamstress has gone above and beyond to accommodate these requests. We also offer hand-embroidery at an additional cost, allowing people to have names, dates, messages, or quotes embroidered onto their items.


Our talented seamstress is incredibly skilled and has lovingly crafted not only bears, cushions, and blankets, but also, at the request of our cherished customers, a memory chicken, horse, bunny rabbit, and more! If there's something special you'd like, just let us know, and as long as we have a pattern to work from, we will do our best to make it happen!
