ALVES | Memory Bears 🤍🐻

Two beautiful medium patchwork Memory Bears, lovingly handmade for Emma’s children, Maeve & Carter.

Created using their precious newborn clothing and finished with their newborn blanket as the signature memory bow and carefully placed patchwork details, these bears capture the very beginning of their journey. A beautiful way to preserve those tiny outfits and treasured memories that pass by so quickly.

Every stitch tells a story, and these two bears will forever be a reminder of where it all began. 🤍
