Handmade Patchwork Memory Cushion – Made From Loved One’s Clothing
A comforting patchwork cushion, lovingly handmade from your loved one’s clothing. I bring treasured pieces together in my Middlesbrough sewing room, creating a keepsake filled with familiar fabrics and precious memories.
Size and clothes needed
Your cushion measures approximately 17 inches square, with a soft, hypoallergenic, fire-resistant polyester inner pad included.
The front is made from nine individual 6-inch fabric squares, carefully joined together. Each square is backed with interfacing for support and durability.
Please send at least 2 adult garments. You’re welcome to send extra clothing to include more treasured pieces.
A button-down garment can often provide the opening on the back, making the cushion reversible so both sides can be displayed. Otherwise, an envelope-style opening allows the inner pad to be removed.
Mention special logos, names, patterns or areas of clothing in your order notes. Please contact me before ordering about thick clothing or fabric suitability.
Personalisation
Add printed personalisation for £10: a fabric heart with a photo, meaningful wording or a reproduction of your loved one’s handwriting. Other shapes are available if you prefer.
You can also choose a full 6-inch square printed patch featuring a photo and wording.
Please select the paid personalisation option and provide 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.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely perfect in every way 👌... Stacey's work is outstanding 👏.... communication throughout it all ... highly recommend
Stacey has made 2 school uniform cushions for my children when leaving primary school. They have both been high quality and are cherished keepsakes of their school. From start to finish Stacey was quick to reply and complete the order. Highly recommend.
Stacey had already made me two fantastic memory bears from my husband’s clothing and when I asked her to do me two cushions from the remnants she did exactly as I pictured. They are poignant reminders of my husband and I love them. They will have pride of place in my bedroom for many years yo come. Thank you x
Stacey made 4 cushions for myself my Mum and 2 sisters out of my lovely Dad's clothing, we were blown away with them, Stacey is very talented and made them exactly as we discussed, made Mum smile when she cuddled into hers. Thank you Stacey
