UpcycleHeirlooms
Announcement
Upcycled Heirlooms specializes in custom crafted bags, quilts, clothing, memory items, and keepsake toys for children, made in the USA. Our handcrafted items are created by upcycling clothing, upholstery, leather, and other fabrics into unique functional items that can be useful today and then passed down to become heirlooms of tomorrow.
All of our items include recycled materials, such as denim, leather from jackets, upholstery fabrics, and any other materials we can keep from the landfill. Every item we make is created by hand. We use sewing machines and other equipment, but each item is individually created and one of a kind. Our items are not assembly line produced and, therefore, each has its own character and unique imperfections. None of our items are perfect but they are as near as we can get in quality craftsmanship.
Our specialties include a range of family keepsakes from Memory Pillows, T-shirt quilts, one of a kind (made to order) plush toys, and garments from individualized Christening Gowns to smocked clothing for everyday and special occasion wear. Please let us know what we can create for you!

5 out of 5 starsIt was an absolute pleasure to work with Deborah on our wedding memorial quilt! Because we have no children, I was looking at some way to use my wedding dress in a unique way that commemorated our special day. My husband also happened to still have his handmade shirt from the day as well. Deborah used both along with our wedding colors to create our special quilt. She even found a great way to weave in gold as a special tribute to my mom who passed away from cancer five months before our wedding. Deborah listened to our wedding story, the importance of my mom and incorporated everything into this beautiful keepsake that we can now hand down to our nieces. She has an eye for detail and would answer all my questions and was always available. I am so thankful I found her! I highly recommend working with her!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely fantastic! It can be scary sending off sentimental, irreplaceable items…but Deborah communicated with me every step of the way, and helped creatively as well as producing an amazing product! Not to mention, she knocked it out remarkably fast! I am so impressed and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! THANK YOU!

5 out of 5 starsMy dad passed away earlier this year, and I bought these pillows for Christmas gifts for my brother and sister. They turned out perfect! I cried when they arrived. I can't wait to give it to them!
