Personalize your memory bear with an embroidered replica of your loved one’s handwriting. Simply provide a photo of their signature or message, and it will be expertly stitched onto the bear using advanced embroidery techniques. Each memory bear is handcrafted from your loved one’s clothing, preserving treasured moments and keeping their memory alive. Whether made from baby clothes or that shirt that holds special memories, this unique keepsake offers a heartfelt tribute that you can cherish forever.
You send me your special clothing, and I will deconstruct the clothing and create the memory teddy bear from it. Once completed, I will return it to you.
My memory bears are weighted in the bottom with plastic pellets to help them sit up. This adds 4-6 oz. to the weight of the bear, making it weigh approximately 2lbs when finished. If you do not want this, please request that it be left out.

the personalization box.
2. Once the order is placed, I will send you the shipping address for sending the clothing.

placing the order. Contact me if this is a problem, as I am flexible on this.
HOW MUCH CLOTHING:
Adults clothing : 1-2 pieces make 1 bear
Children's and baby clothing: 6-7 pieces make 1 bear
-Sizes make a difference, so you may need more or less fabric. Example: 1 large adult shirt will make 1 bear. 6 pieces of newborn clothing will barely make a bear. Please ask if in doubt.
ACCEPTABLE CLOTHING-
YES- Cotton, cotton blends, flannel, polyester, polyester blends, stretchy denim, seersucker, T-shirts, sweatshirts, button downs, light weight jackets, robes, and light weight sweaters.
NO- leather, sequins (a few may be okay), see through items, swimsuits, fur coats, and under garments.
Please launder clothing if needed prior to shipping.
PLEASE ASK if you are in doubt.
SHIPPING:
Shipping cost for sending clothing to me is the customer's responsibility. Shipping of your completed bear is included in the price. Shipping cost for return of scrap fabric is the customer's responsibility. This must be requested; if it is not, I will discard leftover fabric.
Large orders will ship in multiple shipments. For example, if you order 6 bears, you may receive 2 shipments of 3 bears.
MESSAGES:
I know it is scary to send these precious items away. Please know that I will take good care of them while I have them.
I SEND MESSAGES WHEN:
-your clothing is received
-your is ready to start
-your order is finished
-if I have questions while making your bear I will contact you
**You are welcome to message me throughout the process but PLEASE keep this to a minimum. The more time I spend on answering messages the longer the wait for everyone waiting. Thank you for understanding.
MY PROCESS:
Once your order is placed, you will be added to my order queue. You should send your clothing as soon as possible, or you could be moved further down in the queue. I always have a waitlist of orders. Orders are worked in the order they are received. I do not offer a rush service out of fairness to those who are already waiting in line. I can give you estimated start and finish dates, but please understand that with this highly customized item, there is no way to calculate exactly how long each customer's bear will take to finish. When it is your order's turn, I will contact you and let you know that I am starting the prep work on your order. I do keep several orders prepped and waiting to be sewn at a time so please be patient. When your item is finished, you will be contacted again with pictures and tracking info.
Please remember the time frames I provide are estimates based on the number of orders ahead of yours. If you're ordering multiple bears, do keep in mind that it may take longer to complete your order.
The complexity of your customization and the amount of embroidery you request will influence the amount of time it takes to complete your order.
I do my best to work as quickly and efficiently as possible, but as I am a one-person operation with only my husband assisting me, your patience is greatly appreciated.
