🧸✨ Happy National Teddy Bear Day! ✨🧸

Teddy bears hold a special place in our hearts. They offer comfort, preserve memories, and often become part of our most cherished stories. ❤️

This is what makes memory bears so meaningful.

Created from a loved one’s clothing, a child’s favourite outfit, a school uniform, or a special shirt, each bear transforms treasured fabric into a lasting keepsake. 🧸🤍

Every stitch preserves a memory, and every piece of fabric carries a story.

Today, on National Teddy Bear Day, we celebrate the bears that hold special meaning and help keep cherished memories close. 🐻✨

Turn treasured clothing into a keepsake to cherish forever. 💕

I've had a restock Yorkshire Makers Mirfield . Lots of Harris Tweed®️ embroidery art, as well as the Autumn collection of fully reversible dog bandanas made from Yorkshire Tweed & 100% cotton, featuring country style designs.

These four bears were created from shirts belonging to a much loved husband, dad & grandad, transforming treasured clothing into beautiful keepsakes filled with memories. Memory bears are a special way to remember someone, celebrate their life and keep a little piece of them close.

These bears were made for a returning customer from a pattern which I have now retired.

I was asked to create a memory cushion, but not a traditional cushion. The brief was to keep the size & shape of the original T shirt and add some embroidery in Bradford City colours. I had to cut a strip off the bottom of the shirt to fill in the neck area and then added the embroidery. The end result was a very large huggable cushion which was heading it's way to Spain.
