Memory items are created from clothing of loved ones who passed away. Over the years I have made many different Memory Items. These are items that take time; I never rush these or work when tired. I know there is only one chance to get it right and there is no replacement fabric. Each item is carefully created with love for both the loved one who passed and the intended recipient. The excess clothing is returned with the Memory Item (unless otherwise requested). Memory Items become treasured because they are transformed into something tangible.
These items of clothing have become many different items to suit the needs of the recipients.
These items of clothing became teddy bears for members of my family who recently lost a dear loved one.
Military Uniforms are another popular item to have made into Memory Items. These can be more playful or more useful items as the person who wore the uniforms are usually still with us. These items are also usually more durable so make great backpacks, tote bags, diaper bags and adorable, but firm stuffed animals.
Other ways to make an item special is by adding embroidery to the Memory Item. Taking the signature of the person and digitizing it, or adding their favorite catch phrase or simple poem such as “This is a shirt I used to wear. Whenever you hold it, know I will be there!”
There is no end to what we can create together. So message or email to discuss what can be created for you and your loved ones.
