Memory Bears

This is the start of a new project...Memory Bears.
I can make them out of basically any fabric, but to be more of sentimental value, they can be made from:
-the clothing or something sentimental of a loved one who passed away
-baby clothes/blankets
-wedding dress/tux/other attire
-sports uniforms
-anything that is of sentimental value...


If its made from something of special value, you will be able to hold the memory forever ♥


In order to make these, you would need to contact me, and we would set up a listing through my Etsy shop. From there, you would need to ship the clothing/items to me at your expense [I suggest getting delivery confirmation and/or insurance for your package, as these items are irreplaceable in most cases!].

Each bear is approx 12 inches tall in sitting position, and 18 inches from head to toe. You can have bows added in their hair, neck ties, etc - all made from the things that you send with your bear.


I will use the items you send to me to make a bear for you, and send the extras/leftovers back to you with your bear. In most cases, I am able to embroider a name or initials or date [for whomever/whichever date the memory bear is for, perhaps] on the bears foot or chest area.


Each bear is $20, free shipping back to you for USA residents.

Michael Jackson T-shirt transformation

I bought a men's t-shirt size 2xl with Michael Jackson on it. Mind you, I am a size sm/med in jrs/womens...But I bought the shirt b/c I liked it and it was on clearance, and I had a plan for it. My plan was to make it into something I could wear. And that's what I did....I made it into a dress.

I wanted to kind of give it a little MJ flair as well, so I took some leftover fabric that I had from making the jacket to a Michael Jackson costume for a friend of mine [its shown in this post], and I used it to make embellishments. Since it was a T-shirt for This Is It, I also embroidered the opening lyrics to the song entitled 'This Is It' along the bottom of the dress. It reads, "This is it. Here I stand. I'm the light of the world, I feel grand........" and then it says "RIP Michael Jackson 1958-2009". On the upper back of the dress, there is a small white heart embroidered, and under it, a sequined glove. Yes, the glove is in black sequins instead of white, because black fit in more with my theme.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out...and you can bet I will make more in the future :]
