Memory bears bring great comfort to many when they are made using loved ones clothing. It's a lovely way to get clothes out the cupboard that hold so many special memories made into a bear that can be displayed for you to enjoy forever. They can be made with many different items of clothing including shirts, dresses, scarfs, ties, baby clothes too.
Bonnie is a totally different style to Bryan and Betsy. Her limbs are machine sewn into her body making them floppier with a more relaxed posture. She is softer and less structured than Bryan and Betsy and works best with children's clothing. She sits around 30cm tall.
How many items do you need?
If ordering one made from adults clothing between 1-5 items is enough however Holly can work with up to 15.
If ordering one made from baby clothes you will need between 8-15 items.
This is a rough guide for you. If you don't have enough, others fabrics can be used to compliment the items you've picked.
Adding wording?
Wording can be added in the form of free motion embroidery like names/dates/weights PLUS handwriting which is very carefully traced and embroidered controlling each and every stitch. Wording is added on the paws. If you are wanting to add handwriting please send a well lit photo of your chosen handwriting.
Adding birth weight?
This is added inside the bear using fine steel beads (often used in reborn dolls) inside nylon bags and tightly wrapped in wadding before being placed inside the bears tummy area. Birth weight may need to be spread around the bear further if more weight is needed. You can not exceed 10lbs as this will put the sewn seams at risk.
Getting the clothes to Holly?
If local (Weston Super Mare, BS22), clothes can be dropped to her home address or if you are further afield you can post the clothes. Address details will be sent to you before or after ordering, just message.
