Six precious keepsakes, all cut, pieced and getting ready to come to life.
There’s something so special about taking meaningful clothing and turning it into something you can hug, hold and treasure for years to come.
Lots of stitching, lots of love… and six little personalities waiting to emerge! 🧵✨

❤️ SOMETHING NEW… BUT WITH THE SAME HEART ❤️

You may know me as Sew Donna, but after many years making curtains, blinds and soft furnishings, I’ve decided it’s time for a new chapter…

Donna’s Memory Keepsakes
For the past 15 years I’ve also been creating special memory bears and keepsakes from clothing that means something to you — and now I’m making these precious memories my main focus.
💕 Memory bears
💕 Memory animals
💕 Cushions & blankets
💕 Roses & hearts
💕 Personalised keepsakes
💕 Christmas & baby keepsakes
I take your treasured clothing and turn it into something you can hold, hug and keep forever.
Every piece is handmade by me, one stitch at a time, making each keepsake completely unique.
If you’re new here, please give my page a FOLLOW and join me as I start this exciting new chapter.
And if you have a box or wardrobe full of clothing that holds precious memories, send me a message — I’d love to chat about what we could create together.
Based in York

Every stitch tells a story. ❤️

Same Donna different name - Rebranding the Memory bears / Keepsakes side of my business.
Previously Sew Donna, a curtain & blind maker, I’ve also been making memory bears for 15 years. I’m slowly moving to focusing purely on memory keepsakes, turning treasured clothing into beautiful, handmade memories.
Please like and share.
I would love your continued support. ❤️

WELCOME TO DONNA’S MEMORY KEEPSAKES

A little rebrand… and a new chapter! Formerly Sew Donna

After years of sewing and creating bespoke curtains and blinds I’ve decided to put my heart and soul into the thing I love most — making memory bears and beautiful keepsakes from clothing that means something special.

Welcome to Donna’s Memory Keepsakes.

Here you’ll find handmade memory bears, keepsake animals, cushions, roses, hearts, blankets, Christmas keepsakes and lots more — all lovingly made from your treasured clothing.

Because that old jumper, favourite shirt or baby grow isn’t just fabric…

It holds memories. ❤️

And I get to help turn those memories into something you can keep forever.

Thank you for following, supporting and sharing my little business. It really does mean the world.

🧵 Every stitch tells a story.
