Memory Bears

Memory bears can be made from one item of clothing, or a patchwork of different fabrics. If you would like to order more than one bear at a time, I can often make more bears from less clothing, by being thrifty with the cutting.

The bears are stuffed with wonderfully soft, locally sourced, washed and hand-carded alpaca fleece, and the eyes are specialist toy safety eyes. If you prefer you can request hypoallergenic polyester stuffing, or embroidered felt eyes (request when ordering).

Bears are wipe clean only.

My memory bears bears are made using some lovely patterns from Funky Friends Factory where you can find many ideas if you would like to try making soft toys yourself.

Please note that these bears are keepsakes rather than toys, and are not suitable for young children.
