These beautiful patchwork cushions made from your little one's favourite outgrown clothes are a lovely way to preserve precious memories.
The front of each cushion will be patchwork made from provided items and will be slightly padded for extra softness with the border and backing being in a cuddly dimple fleece. The finished cushion is available in 2 sizes and will include an optional embroidered centre patch, inner pad, be fully lined and have an envelope back fastening.
Small cushion (14" / 35cm) - 4-9 baby grows are required. Each square measures approx 4" / 10cm so we do not suggest large designs.
Large cushion (20" / 50cm) - 4 -9 baby grows sized 3 months or over.
If minimum baby grows are provided the front and back of the baby grow will need to be used so the final cushion front may include poppers or buttons on some of the patches.
Personalised Embroidery
Take a look at our examples for ideas or supply your own wording and make it truly personal just for you. We can also supply some ideas for designs if you need a little help. Please double check your instructions for personalisation as wording, spellings and details will be exactly as you have sent them. Embroidery colours will be chosen to compliment the cushion colours however if you have a preference add a note in the special instructions. Patches will either be made from the item supplied or on a white wool felt depending on which is more suitable.

This could include any detail you want on the front of the cushion, 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 cushion. If not specified we wil presume you wish to leave the design to us. Other instructions could be preferred personalised embroidery colours, if you would like clothes remnants to be returned or any other special instructions.

More Information
Popular items to provide include baby grows, t-shirts, blankets and comforters. Items to avoid are chunky hand knit wool materials as these may fray when cut into and any item that is too small to cut a patchwork square from. If you would like the emboidered patch on an item of clothing supplied by yourself we would suggest something plain so that the embroidery is clear.
