Handmade in Australia, each Memory Bear is lovingly crafted from your sentimental garments, a timeless way to preserve the story behind your most cherished fabrics. Whether it’s a baby romper, favourite shirt, or treasured blanket, every piece is carefully sewn to honour your memories in a heartfelt keepsake.
You’re welcome to send one meaningful item or several garments for variety. If needed, I can include complementary fabrics from my own collection to complete your bear beautifully. Such as "fur"colour.
Please send photos of your fabrics before posting, so I can confirm suitability and help you plan the perfect combination.
