Memory & Keepsake Stockings
Christmas can bring back precious memories of people we miss and the little ones who seem to grow so quickly. I lovingly turn treasured clothing into a keepsake stocking, giving those memories a place in your family’s Christmas traditions. Whether made from a loved one’s familiar garments or your child’s tiny outfits, it’s something special to bring out year after year.
Each design preserves special fabrics and details wherever possible. The baby-and-child stocking features clothing patchwork on both sides; the memorial stocking has a patchwork front, fleece back and a special embroidered poem tag. Both include name embroidery on the cuff.
Waiting time and ordering
For current bookings, turnaround is around 6–8 weeks from booking, before posting or collection. Future-date bookings follow the agreed sewing schedule rather than the usual 6–8 weeks from booking.
Each listing explains the size, clothing needed, fleece colours and care guidance. You can pay in full or book with a £25 deposit per keepsake, with the remaining balance and postage payable before posting or collection.
You can book up to 12 months ahead, subject to availability, including October or November Christmas sewing slots. Please tell me your preferred sewing month and year, plus the date you need your finished stocking. I’ll confirm availability, your sewing schedule and when to send your clothing.
Please contact me before ordering if you need your stocking for a particular date, especially Christmas. Express turnaround is subject to availability; please check with me before ordering.
