Recently, I had an order to make 9 bears from robes for a group of grand babies. Well, a couple of other family members wanted bears too, so a couple more are ready to join the family.

Of course you could store those sweet baby clothes out of sight but how much pleasure will you get from seeing a cutie like this everyday?
I can help…transforming those important outfits your baby spent it’s first few months in into a gorgeous bear brimming with happy memories #memorybears

asked me to add keys to the ornaments in memory of Eric’s dad, Duke, who was a locksmith and had passed 8 years ago now. The twine used on the ornaments was also Duke’s.

Merry Christmas to their families and to all of you as well! 💚

3 new memory bears
Made from dad/grandpa’s shirts
It always amazes me that 3 bears all made from the same fabric turn out so differently! Each has its own personality!
I can make one for you

I didn't get a chance to take finished photos because there was a surprise rush to finish this one so Lexi could deliver it. It turned out so cute tho! Lexi suggested the red and blue button eyes and I think they're perfect!

Sent these to Levi for approval on the head design. I thought it would look really cool (mohawk!) if I put the pattern from the one sleeve down the center of the head and thankfully she agreed!

Layering the neon green trim from this sweatshirt to get as much fabric out of it as I can since it was Levi's favorite part. Getting max usage out of precious materials is part of my artistry since I work w fabric scraps so much already.

Levi's first of 3 #MemoryBears is finished. Made from her grandma's sweatshirt. The doll is entirely made from fabric from the shirt, except for the button eyes. Levi asked me to focus on the neon green trim so that's the direction I leaned in hard.

This is the last of Levi's 3 #MemoryBears. A DARE bear for her mom made from a T-shirt that was clearly well-loved & precious. The final frame shows exactly why I do what I do: for the joy & comfort that it brings someone to hold that handmade doll meant just for them. 🥺🫶

Next up for Levi's #MemoryBears is the Snowmobile Championship sweatshirt. This design is more fiddly to get all the important parts of the design but I'm up for the challenge! 💪🧵🪡

#CommisionsOpen #TextileArt #handmade
Image of a black sweatshirt with a blue snowmobile driven by a racer in a red helmet, white jacket with red gloves, and black pants. The word "championship" at the top in yellow ombre into red-orange. Underneath the racer it says "snowmobile" then "derby" in red between two black and white checkered flags. Sketch of memory bear design with "championship" wrapping around the chest from back to front and the image of the racer on the stomach wrapping to the back. "Derby" is on the front of the left leg wrapping around and the checkered flags are on the right leg and arm wrapping around. Back view of described memory bear design
