STEP 1 CHOOSE YOUR KEEPSAKE
large bears
Sorry we are now full bear orders for 2024.
All orders taken will now be completed early 2025.
(have a few slots left for memory cushions only)
The original large bear measures 44cm standing and 33cm sitting. Traditional high quality design firmly stuffed with traditional button joints, so sits unaided.
Paw pads that can be personalised with names and dates, or embroidered hearts if you prefer.
Finished with a matching ribbon and hand embroidered nose and smile,
Maybe you have kept a bag of baby clothes in the loft that your child has grown out of. You will remember who bought them, when your little one wore them and how fast they grew out of them! A baby clothes memory bear is a lovely way of repurposing the cute little outfits into something beautiful that can be hugged and sniffed! (Surely I cant be the only one to miss that baby smell?)
Please remember these are not suitable to be used as toys.
Personalisation and hearts available on paws, select below.
SUITABLE BABY CLOTHES
I can use first size baby clothes, but it as a good ideal to send some bigger items too, a blanket or sheet may come in handy for the bigger pieces, if the clothes are very small. 6-8 items per bear is ideal.

Once you have placed your order and made your payment, I will be in touch via email to arrange for your clothing to be posted to us or to arrange an appointment to drop your clothes off in Manchester.

IDEAL CLOTHING
Sports shirts are another item of clothing that works really well. These can never be thrown away (Not in my house anyway!) so a sports shirt memory bear is a way of displaying the colours and badges instead of it taking room up in a draw.
One adult football shirt is enough, a complete kit can be used if it’s a smaller size.

IDEAL CLOTHING
A wonderful way to upcycle your wedding or bridesmaids dress you will never wear again, We can even make a mini veil and tutu for your bride bear to wear.
Why not order a groom bear to match?
Only available in the Large size.
Please note – Chiffon and organza are too fine to use on the main body of the bear , I can use the underneath fabric and lace and trims though. If you are posting the dress to me, please remove any netting from the underskirt before you send it, so I can store it easier, it can be cut from the dress near the waist. Please ensure that the dress is clean.

SMALL bears
The newer smaller bear is 40cm standing and 29cm sitting. Beautifully made and button jointed so sits unaided. 1-3 items of clothing is ideal. Compact design without paw pads.
Embroidered hearts can be personalised then hand sewn onto the paws.
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.
