The Collection

A bear stitched from a memory.

Each memory bear is hand-cut and sewn from a single shirt — keeping the original collar, buttons, or pocket whenever possible. The result is a soft, hold-it-close keepsake that carries the warmth of the person who wore it.

About this piece

Memory bears are the most popular keepsake in the studio — and the most personal. Whether it's a flannel he wore every weekend, a uniform she retired, or the smallest baby onesie, the fabric becomes the bear.

I plan each bear around the most meaningful details of the garment. Pockets become the chest. Plackets become the front seam. Embroidery is preserved whenever possible. No two are alike.

What to send

  • 1 adult-sized button-down or flannel shirt (clean and laundered)
  • Optional: a second shirt for accents, paw pads, or ear linings
  • Optional: a small note about the person — I love hearing the story
