Each Memory Bear is individually handcrafted from your cherished garments, turning sentimental clothing into a meaningful keepsake to treasure for years to come. This bear was made from a baby blanket
This bear’s style allows your chosen fabrics to shine, from baby clothes and pyjamas to shirts, jumpers, or uniforms. Every stitch is placed with care to honour the memories and stories behind each piece. Small details like patterned paws, embroidery, or contrasting fabric accents make each bear as unique as the person or moment it represents.

Created from your own cherished clothing or fabric items, each bear is stabilised and reinforced with woven cotton interfacing to ensure durability. Filled with soft, toy-grade stuffing for a lasting, huggable finish.

Care Instructions:
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage your bear.
