MEMORY Bears
Most of my bears are made from clothing once worn by a loved one, who has passed away. Mum’s favourite suit she wore for special occasions or Grandad’s much loved and well-worn cardigan he wore in the garden. These are perfect clothing to be made into a keepsake to have on display, to keep your loved ones memory alive and to pass those memories down the generations.
Ideal Clothing
One to three items of adult clothing per bear is ideal, including something like a plain pale T-shirt for the face so the eyes and mouth stand out. Shirts, jumpers, cardigans, t shirts, skirts and trousers, jeans are all ideal. Full outfits are good but don’t worry if the clothes don’t coordinate - it’s the memories that count and they will still look fabulous.
Please avoid sheer fabrics like chiffon or organza, very chunky loose knits, very thick or stiff fabric. Leather or suede are also unsuitable.
