  Ordering items closer to you is more likely to reduce your purchase's carbon footprint.

Have your favorite baby pajamas turned into a special memory bear, monkey, or other animal. Match the memory monkey's eye color to your own child's.

The pictures are samples of some keepsake stuffed animals I've made to give you an idea of some memory animals I've sewn. Each monkey has an individual look based on the pajamas you want the monkey made of. If there are any special things on the fabric I try to incorporate it into the monkey. The bigger the embellishment, the greater chance that an extra 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 bear/animal is finished I will ship it to you

It usually takes less than 6 weeks (from the time I receive the clothes) to send the finished monkey 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 monkey size starts around 12" tall in a sitting position (stretchier fabrics make the monkey bigger). This monkey is made with 2 pairs of pajamas size 3 months or larger or 1 pair of pajamas size 6 months or larger. The monkey needs separate lighter colored fabric for the face. I will plan on using non-pajama fabric I already have for the face unless you direct otherwise. You are certainly welcome to send additional pajamas/fabric for the monkey's face. Depending on your pajamas (e.g. directional fabric, large pictures/embellishments, etc.) an extra pair may need to be sent. Please contact me before sending pajamas and I will help you figure out what is needed.

The monkey's face can be made with safety eyes, permanent fabric marker, or appliqued felt eyes (with or without eyelashes) and stitched nose and mouth. Examples of each 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.
