Handmade Memory Cushion With Collar & Sleeve – Made From Loved One’s Clothing
A comforting memory cushion that preserves the familiar collar and sleeve of your loved one’s clothing. I lovingly make each cushion in my Middlesbrough sewing room, keeping those special details and the memories they hold close.
Size and clothes needed
Your cushion measures approximately 17 inches square, with a soft, hypoallergenic, fire-resistant polyester inner pad included. Size may vary slightly depending on the clothing used.
Please send at least 1 shirt or suitable garment with a collar and sleeves, or 2 garments if you’d like a different fabric on the back. You’re welcome to send extra clothing.
The original collar and sleeve are incorporated into the finished cushion, creating a recognisable reminder of your loved one’s garment.
I support suitable fabrics with interfacing where needed and preserve meaningful details wherever possible. Mention special pockets, logos or names in your order notes. Please contact me before ordering about thick clothing or fabric suitability.
Personalisation
Add a printed fabric heart for £10, personalised with a photo, meaningful wording or a reproduction of your loved one’s handwriting.
A heart is the standard shape for this option, but other shapes are available if you prefer. Please select the paid personalisation option and let me know your chosen details and preferred shape when ordering.
Booking and waiting time
My current turnaround is around 6–8 weeks from booking, before posting or collection.
An Express turnaround add-on is available, subject to availability. Please contact me before ordering to check your date.
Pay in full or book with a £25 deposit. The remaining balance is invoiced on completion and must be paid before posting or collection.
Optional extras
Add another keepsake made from your treasured clothing, such as a hanging heart, keyring and more.
Care and important information
Hand wash only, do not tumble dry, and allow to air dry naturally. Handle gently to protect your treasured fabrics.
This cushion is a keepsake item, not a toy.
Your leftover clothing and fabric scraps are returned with your cushion. Tracked Royal Mail delivery and appointment-only local collection in Middlesbrough are available.
I understand that sending away treasured clothing can feel difficult. I’ll treat each garment with the utmost care and respect, keeping its precious meaning in mind as I create your keepsake. If you’re unsure about anything, please get in touch. I’ll be happy to help.
