Not sure what to do with your little one's outgrown clothes? Rather than store them away to collect dust and be forgotten why not have them turned into the most adorable treasured keepsake. Our memory bears are a perfect way to create something special so you have a gorgeous forever keepsake to remind you of precious times.
 
For this bear you can use anything from sleepsuits and outfits to comforters and blankets though it is best to avoid wool knits. 
 
Personalised Embroidery
Please double check your instructions for personalisation as wording will be exactly as you have sent it including spaces and punctuation.  Unless otherwise requested a small heart will be embroidered underneath the wording at the bottom of each paw or heart patch. Embroidery colour will be chosen to compliment the bear colours however if you have a preference add a note in the special instructions. Hearts and paws will either be made from clothes supplied or on a white wool felt depending on which is more suitable. 
 
Special Instructions
In this box you can add a note of any special instructions. This could include details of any favourite items to be used first, instructions on where each item or colours are to be placed and any logos that you want to include on the bear. If not specified we will presume you wish to leave the design to us. Other instructions could be preferred personalised embroidery colour, if you would like clothes remnants to be returned or any other special instructions. If not stated here clothes remnants will be disposed of with any unused items returned with your keepsake.
 
Scents
A scent can be added to your bear, if this option is selected an aroma bead pouch of your chosen scent will be sewn inside the tummy of your bear. 
 
More Information
Almost any clothing or blankets can be used and popular items include babygros, outfits, blankets, comforters. Items to avoid are chunky knits and swimwear materials. The final look of each bear may vary as it depends on the fabric supplied. As used fabrics are more delicate, please be aware the more worn, well washed, stretchy the items are there is a greater chance that the stitches may pull into tiny holes along the seams.
 
Bears are approximately 46cm from top to toe.

Baby clothes: 8-10 babygros or equivalent amount of material. If first size as the body pieces are fairly big if possible send some larger items such as a couple of larger babygros or a small blanket.
