Just ordered some teddy bear patterns to make some memory bears.... Never heard of a memory bear?! Don't worry they are pretty new to me as well! Wish I had heard of them 6 years ago.
Basically you use fabric that means something to you and use it to make a memory bear; this is great after both sad and happy times.
Example include; using your wedding dress (or if you want to keep it then a flower girls dress makes a perfect alternative), baby's favourite blanket or clothes once they grow out of them, grandparent shirt, etc or if you wear a uniform with logo they make great graduation or retirement gifts as well. This list is clearly not exhaustive and I would love to hear what other people have made them out of/for.
Hopefully the bears I make turn out as well as these examples! I'll post some pictures once they are all done and let you judge for yourself...
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI know you posted this memory bear years and more years ago.�� but I’ve just stumbled upon it. The bear is lovely, do you remember what pattern used? Liz��x
PS Where in Scotland are you? I’m in Paisley, which is very near Glasgow airport.
