Nana's Keepsakes

Nana's Keepsakes Est 2015. Keepsake & memory bears, cushions, animals and blankets made from those special clothing items - 40+ years sewing experience Angie x

Hi, my name is Angie and firstly, thanks for visiting my page and I hope you find something that you are looking for. I have been sewing for over 40 years (eeeekk!) So please be assured I have had a lot of practice. Whether you are looking to have a lasting keepsake from those baby clothes in the attic or cupboard or from the treasured clothing of a loved one, I have many designs to choose from
Bears are available in 5 sizes and other animals - puppy, elephant, bunny, monkey, lion, hippo and dolphin are available in 3 sizes. All items are carefully handled and hand cut. They are also fully stabilised to ensure your item does not go out of shape or distort over time. Seams are also double or tripled sewn (depending on fabric). Blankets - each individual square is stabilised to ensure the shape is kept over the years. All items can be personalised. Patches can also be added to cushions, blankets and larger sized bears/animals. I have to thank all the people that have allowed me to take a pair of scissors to their loved one’s clothing which results in a beautiful keepsake for them to cherish. It is an honour that you have entrusted me. Thanks for visiting and if you have any questions please message.

Huge thank you to Amy for trusting me with this memory bear and matching cushion 🥰
Adding a little bit of plain to match in with the skirt so the embroidery and eyes pop out a little 💕

Working away on a new test piece that allows a greater coverage for embroidery to be added. Full reveal soon 🫣

Julie, Thank you again for trusting me (apologies for the delay) 💖
The clothing would sum up Almeria to a "T" 😇

I was looking through some pictures earlier for some specific to add to a separate album for weighted bears/animals that I have done previously ⚖️
However, I came across 2 very different looking bears 🧸
One from early on and then a more recent.
When people receive or collect my keepsakes, they say one or both of these things :-
"Oh, It's bigger than I thought"🫣
"Wow, it's sturdy!"🥰
The pattern hasn't changed, but what has changed is the way I now double stabilise, triple stitch and fill to capacity. (this obviously was the increase in price way back, however my smallest bear is only still £35)
This means you will have a long lasting keepsake that should not go out of shape and lose it's "personality" for a many years (assuming kept correctly) 💕
If you have had an earlier version, maybe looking a bit deflated, that you wish to revamp, please message and let's see what we can do 🧵

Boring stuff :-
Please note that this does NOT include where bears/animals have been used as toys/regularly handled where there is extreme wear and tear.
These items are not toys and cannot be tested as such. Although every care is taken in making process they are clearly labelled for 14+

So, asking a big favour to everyone that has received a keepsake from me...
Can you please leave a review/recommendation or both if it allows you. 💖
I'm hoping I can use these in the business going forward (I will blank out names of any used in ads etc) 🥰
Also if you are not happy, please get in touch I will fix my mistakes! I will help you fix ones from elsewhere that aren't as "sturdy" as mine 😍
If you have any questions I'm happy to answer 💞
