About Me.

Hi, I’m Belinda, the heart and hands behind Creatively Quirky.

 

Sewing has always been a part of my life. I grew up watching my mum at the sewing machine and quickly found myself creating alongside her. Over the years I’ve tried many different creative outlets, but sewing has always felt like home. It’s where I can stitch love, memory, and meaning into something tangible.

At Creatively Quirky, everything I make is built on three values:

 

  • Care — each piece is treated with the same respect I would give to my own family’s memories.

  • Creativity — no two keepsakes are ever alike. I bring thought and artistry to every bear so your finished piece is truly unique.

  • Connection — these aren’t just bears, they are stories, moments, and emotions brought to life in fabric.

I understand that the clothes you send often carry deep meaning. They may have belonged to a loved one, or hold treasured memories from a special time in your life. I handle every garment with great respect, communicating with you throughout the process so you always feel confident that your memories are safe. My goal is for you to feel joy and comfort when you hold your finished keepsake in your hands.

 

 

What Makes Creatively Quirky Different?

Memory Bears are a sentimental purchase, and I believe they should be made with heart. I combine years of sewing experience with a creative eye for detail, ensuring each bear captures the personality of the clothing it’s made from. Whether it’s a baby onesie, a work shirt, or a favourite dress, I thoughtfully design your bear to celebrate those little details that make your memories special.

 

Creatively Quirky isn’t just about keepsakes, it’s about honouring life’s stories, one stitch at a time.
