Beautiful Site. Beautiful Idea. Treasured Memory Bears. They make beautiful keepsake teddy bears out of cherished clothing. Here is how it works:
- A client sends us clothes that have meaning. Here are some examples of clothes that our clients have sent:
- Wedding Dress
- Christening Gown
- Dad’s Favorite Bathrobe
- Communion Dress
- Mom’s Favorite Housedress
- Overalls
- Jeans and Rock Concert T-Shirt
- Flannel Shirt
- Mom’s Last Nightgown
- Baby Clothes and Bibs
- Unfinished Quilt
- Dog Blanket and Leash
After discussing the overall design with the client and photographing each piece of clothing, they will construct the bear using the fabrics provided. Since the entire body of the bear will be made with the clothing provided, the stiffness or softness of the bear will depend upon the fabric provided. They add a childsafe nose and a pair of child-safe eyes and any finishing touches.
The bear is photographed and then shipped back to the client.
I think the price is very reasonable and it is something to hold onto during grief. Hospice gave me one when my mom passed away. It wasn't made from any of her belongings, but I was touched by the gesture. This would be awesome. Oh, and these people make quilts too! Plus, you can have one made if your pet passes. This is a very good site!!!!!
