Have your favorite baby pajamas turned into a special memory cat. Match the memory cat's eye color to your own child's.

The pictures are samples of some keepsake bears and other animals I've made to give you an idea of some memory animals I've sewn. Each cat has an individual look based on the pajamas you want the cat made of. I usually use any special feet of the pajamas as the cat's feet. If there are any special things on the fabric I try to incorporate it into the cat. The bigger the embellishment, the greater chance that an additional pair of pajamas will need to be sent.

How it works:
1) After purchasing, you will send the clothing to me
2) My processing time starts at the time I receive the clothing
3) When the keepsake cat is finished I will ship it to you

It usually takes under 6 weeks (from the time I receive the clothes) to send the finished cat to you. Processing time depends on how many projects are in line ahead of you at the time of purchase. Please contact me if you need a more accurate time estimate.

Finished cat size starts around 10" tall in a sitting position. This cat requires a minimum of two pairs of pajamas size newborn or larger. Depending on your pajamas (e.g. directional fabric, large pictures/embellishments, etc.) an additional pair may need to be sent. Please contact me before sending pajamas and I will help you figure out what is needed.

The cat's face can be made with safety eyes, permanent fabric marker, or appliqued felt (with or without eyelashes). Whiskers and mouth are stitched. Examples of face type are pictured.

My memory animals can be customized even more with personalized details. See my listing here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/253647573/custom-embroidery-personalize-name-on?ref=shop_home_active_1 if you'd like to add custom embroidery to your memory animal.

Please note that I may use any pictures of finished products as examples of my work for future customers unless otherwise discussed.
