Save your loved one's favourite clothing or blanket forever by having them made into a one of a kind keepsake memory bear!

The small size keepsake teddy bear is about 8"-9" from head to rump and can be made from something as small as a newborn sized footed sleeper, though we may need to supplement with a small amount of complementary fabric.
The large size memory bear is about 11"-12" from head to rump and requires an adult size small shirt or larger, or a size 18 month baby footed sleeper (two is even better!) or larger.
Please send AT LEAST the minimum amount of fabric required for each keepsake. If a small amount of supplemental fabric is required we can only offer plain white flannel. We'll use the pattern on the fabric thoughtfully and add a handmade felt nose and safety eyes.

To get your own personalized keepsake stuffed animal, just purchase this listing. We'll message the mailing address - mail in your fabric and we'll get started on sewing your bear. Please allow 8-10 weeks after we receive your fabric to complete your order. If you have a deadline, please let us know before purchasing so we can make sure it'll get to you in time. We do not return extra fabric unless you purchase this listing: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/927400078

STAINS: Please send freshly laundered, stain- and damage-free fabric for your keepsake.

Stains can become more darker and more pronounced when we prepare your fabric for sewing and will be noticeable on the completed keepsake.
