Bear
£95.00 inc. tax
Choose the most precious items of clothing and I'll handcraft adorable teddies for you to treasure.
Why just pack away your favourite babygrows - when will you ever get them out to look at them? These expertly handmade creatures feature patches from any sentimental fabrics, from babygrows to school uniforms or even Grandad's cap.
The bear needs one (or more, if you prefer) adult garment or five baby/child garments (based on 6-9 month sleepsuits). The bear measures approx. 30cm/12" (standing 40cm/16"). He has jointed arms and legs and a sculpted face.
Please do ask if you'd like any help deciding which garments would work best from your selection. All the fabrics are lined during the process, so even delicate fabrics like chiffon and knits can be used.
If you would like your bear to be made using a wedding dress, please use this option: https://www.memorybearco.co.uk/product/weddingbear, and include a note at the checkout that you would like the bear.

Stuffed with a little magic along with premium grade carded hollow fibre filling and while I cannot CE certify these keepsakes (I would have to burn your fabrics!), eyes, noses and joints are always “safety” standard and carefully fixed in place. Where needed, fabrics are lined to ensure their stability and durability, and seams are triple-stitched for extra strength.
Once you have placed your order I will get in touch with your order confirmation and further information about where to send your fabrics and by when. The current waiting time is approx. 6 months, although I can often accommodate if you need your order sooner.
If you need your keepsake by a particular date, please add a note to your order in the checkout.
If you have chosen to book with a deposit, I will send an invoice for the balance of your order. The invoice will be via PayPal, and you can also pay with a credit or debit card in instalments to suit you. The full balance will be due no later than 2 weeks before your order is scheduled to be made.
If you change your mind about any of the details after you have ordered, please just get in touch. I'm happy even to swap to an entirely different keepsake. Any difference in price can easily be refunded or invoiced.

More beautiful than I could have imagined
5/5
Debbie Brown
I had followed Clare s page for a while so was very excited to be able to order 3 keepsake teddies from her using my babies old clothes. The service was faultless from start to finish, I had a couple of concerns about sending my precious clothes to France but Clare reassured me and advised how to package and send the items. The keepsake teddies arrived yesterday and I am beyond happy with them, they are so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Clare s attention to detail is impressive, and the use of the fabrics so sensitively done, to create delightful little teddies I can look at and enjoy every day. Thank you so much Clare! ️
Uniform Bear

Jennifer Douglass
I sent Clare my old Brownie uniform, that had been hanging up for 30 years, to make a memory bear. What a job she has done, it's amazing and I absolutely love it! I can't actually believe that this bear was made from what I sent. Clare's attention to detail is amazing and she kept in touch with me throughout the process to make sure I was happy with it before doing the final sew!
Most amazing memory bear ever!

We had 7 bears made from our Dads clothes. The quality & compassion that went into these was above & beyond. Our bears are amazing, every detail we requested was captured, they show the true characteristics of the legend who is our Dad/Grandad
Wonderful attention to detail and considerate nature
5/5
Louise Alder
Absolutely fantastic items received today. Clare was tasked with making 9 memory bears, 1 memory lion and 1 memory fox out of my late dad s clothes. After parcelling up a large box of clothes made up of predominantly blue shirts, trousers and jumpers. Clare used her creative genius and made every bear individual and different making them look like they are wearing little jumpers which just personifies the man they were made in memory of. Clare s wonderful attention to detail and considerate nature when she is being bombarded with questions and our indecisive nature, helped make this difficult and emotional task so much easier. I cannot thank Clare enough for the amazing items we received today and wish her all the luck with her move to Paris. Xxx ️ ️ ️

Beautiful Memory Bear
5/5
Julia Atkinson
The memory bear created for me by Claire is beyond words, what a talented lady offering comfort to so many people. Excellent service and communication from placing the order to receipt. Mum's dressing gown and blouses were used for the bear which is hugged by dad's jumper. The small tie and flat cap made from dad's are so cute. I have sprayed the bear with mum's perfume and if I close my eyes and hug the bear it feels like I am hugging them both - I LOVE IT!! My daughter ordered the bunny and is also highly delighted. I would highly recommend Claire and the beautiful products she creates.
Worth the wait!

So after 15 years of keeping my dear Grandads jacket in my wardrobe I decided the time had come to make it into something I can cherish forever Clare was helpful and kept me informed throughout the process. I had to wait a few weeks for the bear to be made and I've received him today. Wow! He was worth the wait. I love him, thank you
Absolutely Amazing!

Pauline
I contacted Clare with what I thought would be an impossible request. I needed two bears for my daughters, but needed them within a week! From this first point of contact, Clare was amazing! Yesterday I collected my beautiful bears! Clare s creativity, workmanship and thoughtful attention to detail is so impressive. I love them and I know my daughters will too. The fabric, an old family tablecloth, has special memories for them both. She also made me a delightful posy of flowers from the same material. What a special addition to her repertoire. I was overwhelmed! I am so pleased that I found this lovely and talented lady. The love, skill and care she brings to her work. Thank you so so much Clare. I will be back!

Claire recently made me some teddies from some favourite clothing I d kept from my late husband. . They are absolutely fabulous. I am so delighted with them . What a wonderful way to keep something that had memories and turn it into something so beautifully done. Claire was extremely helpful in guiding me on what ideas would work . She was very understanding and always sympathetic to the whole situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an extremely talented person with such a kind and caring personality that left me feeling very confident when I left the clothes with her , I knew she was going to produce something wonderful, and she really has done . Definitely definitely recommend her and her amazing work .
Absolutely adorable!

5/5
Julie
I have followed Clare s page for some time and when I became pregnant I knew I wanted a bear made from clothes from myself, partner and dog for our little girl. I sent Clare our items, asked for some specific things which Clare managed without issue. I absolutely love our bear and it was delivered in time for our little one arriving. It feels special as it something from us all for our girl and I m sure she ll love it just as much as us when she s older. The delivery and communication was fault less and I will definitely look to her for any future items that we want. Thank you Clare, you ve done an amazing job.
Thank you

What a beautiful bear Clare has made. It was a surprise gift for my husband using his late mum s precious silk scarves. He was thrilled they have been used instead of sitting in a drawer. This bear will be treasured and loved for many years to come.
