 We have been making these Memory bears, with great respect, for several years now and  really enjoy making something which is so special to people.  It's always a challenge to take a number of different garments made from different types of fabrics , patterns and colours and put them together into something which works. Sometimes our customers have specific instructions, at other time it is left completely up to us to decide how to combine them.

We can make a Memory bear from baby clothes, school uniforms, sport kits, garments worn at a special event or using clothing from a deceased loved one. 

The time needed to make a bear varies with the time of year and the number of orders we have at the time.

The bears we make come in 2 sizes:

When sitting they measure approximately

 Medium 10" (25cm) €40

Large 12" (30cm)  €45

The time  taken for each is the same, but as more filling is required for the larger bears the prices reflect this. 

If the fabric requires interfacing to prevent stretching there will be an additional cost of €5. 

Please check also our Memory cushions and hearts and cushions.

We can add an embroidered name or message for an extra charge 

When your bear is finished we will send you a photo and you can collect and pay in store if it’s possible or you can phone the shop to pay 0852527077 and we will ship it to you

Postage cost is €4.95 within Ireland.
