Mini Jointed Memory Bear – Handmade From Loved One’s Clothing
A smaller memory bear with just as much meaning, lovingly handmade from your treasured clothing in my Middlesbrough sewing room. This design is particularly suited to premature baby clothing or when you have only a small amount of fabric.
Size and clothes needed
Your bear measures approximately 7½ inches seated and 11 inches standing, with movable, button-jointed arms and legs. Size may vary slightly depending on the clothing used.
It has black safety eyes, a felt nose, four decorative “Handmade With Love” wooden buttons and my sewn-in safety label, with soft, hypoallergenic, fire-resistant polyester filling.
Please send around 2 baby garments or 1 adult garment. You’re welcome to send extra clothing for contrasting colours or fabrics.
I support suitable fabrics with interfacing and preserve meaningful details wherever possible. Let me know about special pockets, logos or names in your order notes. Please contact me before ordering if you have thick clothing or questions about suitability.
Personalisation
Choose with or without personalisation. One additional £10 charge covers one or both feet, including embroidery, printed photos or wording, and printed reproductions of your loved one’s handwriting.
Please select the personalisation option before providing your chosen details.
Booking and waiting time
My current turnaround is around 6–8 weeks from booking, before posting or collection.
Need your bear sooner? An Express turnaround add-on is available, subject to availability. Please contact me before ordering to check whether I can meet 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 a gift box or another keepsake, such as a hanging heart, keyring and more.
Care and important information
Sponge clean gently; do not machine wash. This is a collectable keepsake, not a toy, and is not suitable for children under 14.
Your leftover clothing and fabric scraps are returned with your bear. 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.
Customer Reviews
I can't thank stacey enough for creating my memory bears,it is absolutely beautiful ♥️
Stacey made two memory bears and some fabric hanging hearts from a set of my dear mum’s clothes. From start to finish Stacey was brilliant in terms of customer service, and the finished products are simply perfect. I couldn’t have asked for better, thank you Stacey 💖
Wow my bears are so perfect, the quality is outstanding and the service exceptional. Stacey kept me updated and contacted me about details of the design. Really happy to have my memory bears from both my parents now. Highly recommend.
