Mini Jointed Memory Bear – Handmade From Loved One’s Clothing

Each Mini Memory Bear is lovingly handcrafted to transform treasured garments into a comforting keepsake you can hold close. Perfect if you have premature baby clothing or only a small amount of fabric, this smaller-sized bear still carries the same love and meaning as my larger designs.

More than just a bear, this is a lasting reminder of someone special — thoughtfully made to preserve precious memories in the most meaningful way.

Every bear is individually cut, sewn and finished by hand in my Middlesbrough home sewing room 🧵💜 where your clothing is treated with the utmost care and respect.

ITEM DETAILS 💗

Your Mini Jointed Memory Bear requires approximately 2 baby garments or 1 adult garment. Additional fabric can be included if you would like extra design features.

The bear measures approximately 7½ inches when seated and 11 inches when standing, although final size may vary slightly depending on the clothing used.

Each bear features button-jointed movable arms and legs, giving gentle movement while maintaining a traditional keepsake appearance.

Black safety eyes and a felt nose are carefully fitted, and each bear is finished with four decorative “Handmade With Love” wooden buttons and a sewn-in Stacey’s Loveable Keepsakes safety label.

All keepsakes are filled with super soft, hypoallergenic, fire-resistant polyester stuffing.

If there is a specific logo, design, name or special area of clothing you would like featured, please leave details in the notes at checkout 💗

• Mini Jointed Memory Bear
• Mini Jointed Memory Bear with Personalisation

Personalisation options include embroidery such as a name and date or a short meaningful phrase like “With You Always”.

You may also choose a printed panel featuring a photo and wording or a special quote.

I can also carefully replicate your loved one’s handwriting from a card or note, which can be printed onto the feet of your bear or onto a fabric heart for an extra meaningful touch ✨
