Memory Bear Made from Loved One's Clothing - Large

  • Sale
  • Regular price $55.00


This memory bear is made from your loved one's clothing and can be a great gift to keep for yourself or give to family member or friend to keep for generations.  This bear is approximately 18" tall when finished and has the option for additional embroidery to personalize it even more.  Coordinating buttons for eyes and fleece for the nose are hand sewn on to the bear.  This bear is not to be considered as a toy and care should be taken with it as it has hand-sewn elements to it.  Yes, while cuddling is encouraged, it is meant to be more of a show piece.

What can a bear be made of?

  • A bear can be made from shirts, pants, dresses, stocking hats, blankets, onesies, or most any other fabric type material (cotton, flannel, fleece, and knit).  Non-ideal materials would be very sheer material, fragile lace, and beaded or sequin material.  Please wash all materials before sending or bring them to us.

How much material do I need?

  • Small and medium adult sized shirts/clothing will require two articles of clothing
  • Adult large shirts/clothing and bigger will typically can make one full bear
  • Onesies/baby clothes/toddler clothes may require 4-5 items - extra fabric or material may be used to fill in parts if needed.

Can I use multiple items of clothing in the bear?

  • Yes, of course!  A mixture of various pieces of clothing can be used to make the bear.  Please make note of what you might like used and where.  Common accent pieces are the face piece between the eyes, the fronts of the ears, and the base of the feet.

Can I have a name or initials or text embroidered on the bear?

  • Yes, we offer embroidery customization for an extra fee.  Common places to add customization is on the arm of the bear, the feet base and the tummy.  Please note what you would like added and that the spelling is correct. 
  • The standard poem will read "This is a shirt I used to wear.  Whenever you hold it know that I am near", but you can add any type of text or poem that you wish.

What is the bear stuffed with?

  • I fill the bears with always new Poly-fil batting.

How long does it take to get a bear made?

Comfort and Care

A customer service rep suggested a memory bear for my mother after the passing of my dad. When I presented it to my mother she cried for the comfort and joy the bear would and has brought. She, continuously, thanks me for this comfort bear with the personalized presence of my dad with one of his shirts. Thank you Unlimited Stitch for this unique and comforting bear.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing. It took less then 2 weeks to get my bear. I can't rave enough over how beautiful it is. I'm actually going to order another one for a loved one. Well worth the money.
