Handmade in Australia from your sentimental clothing
Preserve precious memories with a Fully Jointed Memory Bear, lovingly handmade in Australia using your most meaningful garments.
Each bear is carefully crafted to honour a loved one’s story, special milestones, or treasured moments. With jointed arms, legs, and head, this bear can be gently posed, making it a beautiful and expressive keepsake.
Every bear is sewn by an experienced maker using the fabric you provide. You’re welcome to send several garments for variety or just one special item. I can also supply complementary fabrics from my own collection if needed.
