Well this one was a challenge and a half!

I received a request to create a Memory Bear, to remember a much loved Dad, using his Father of the Bride outfit.
However this one was a bit different as I was asked if i could make a bear to look as though he was wearing the outfit.

And here’s the finished result!
I’m really pleased with how he came out!!

Now onto the next one, a matching bear for his granddaughter. ❤️ xx

I’m pleased to say I’m back up and sewing again!!

This latest creation was made using a football shirt to remember a much loved man who was a huge fan of Millwall.
And as Millwall’s crest is a lion, there was only one choice of animal for this one!! 🦁 xx

Apologies for being quiet on here over the past couple of weeks and apologies to my customers whose clothes I currently have here, who are waiting for their Memory Bears.

I have a kidney infection and unfortunately it’s taking a quite a while to get rid of it.

Thank you for your patience and I am hoping to be back up and running/sewing very soon.

Another School Leaver Bear completed!

Using blazers is always a bit more of a challenge, but I like to use the lapel on one side of the tummy, and on the other side of this one, is the school logo from the top pocket.

Following on from my last post, with the memory bear created to remember a much loved Nanny, these cushions were created from the same special clothing.
The red jumper was the obvious choice for the robin’s red breast!

Created using baby Rupert’s clothes, this memory creation just had to be a bear!!

And what a handsome bear he is!!

This is a different pattern to my usual memory bear one, but I really wanted to keep the front of waistcoat and bow tie outfit as one piece. Xx
