Memory Bear or Stuffed Animal

Memory bears and stuffed animals are made from clothing that holds special memories. Whether it's a loved one's shirt or a little girl's favorite dress, these keepsakes turn treasured clothing into something you can hold close for years to come. The samples pictured were made from men's shirts, but any clothing works: a favorite t-shirt, pajama pants or a sundress. They are not limited to bears and dogs either. Make a request and we'll see if we can find a pattern. Starting price is $50. Add-ons, listed separately in the Sewing section: a vest ($7), a bow ($5), embroidery on the sole ($5) and a pocket for a stuffed heart or message ($5). Tell us the animal and anything else we should know in the order notes, and we'll be in touch about getting the clothing to us.
