I offer a unique solution to remember a loved one or special event by repurposing sentimental clothing into Memory bears, animals, pillows, blankets, and ornaments. Handwriting & voice are incredibly distinctive and can personalize a Clothing Keepsake even more. Whether it was clothing worn by a loved one, or it has ties to a special event, I offer numerous repurposing

solutions for the sentimental clothing you simply cannot get rid of. I have access to many animal or practical everyday pattern designs, just message me what you are interested in to get started on your custom memory order. My hand-made Clothing Keepsakes are meant to be displayed in your living space as a remembrance of a special person or event in your life. "No two clothing keepsakes are alike" since they are hand-made and created from an individual's worn clothing that you send to me. WHAT MAKES MY SHOP SO UNIQUE FROM OTHERS? I OFFER NUMEROUS OPTIONS TO PERSONALIZE CLOTHING KEEPSAKES! Personal handwriting, music, voice, photos, & even signatures can be added to ANY keepsake made from clothing. PERSONAL handwriting, words and/or a signature can be converted from birthday cards, letters, documents or a personal note, song or anything hand-written. A loved one's voice, phone message or favorite song can be added to your keepsake using a small digital recorder. My goal is to provide not only a keepsake of memories but a cherished keepsake that can be displayed and used in your home. Keepsakes are great conversation starters and help keep the memory of an event or loved one's memory alive. Families are overjoyed when they receive their finished clothing keepsake because they honor the essence of their loved one and cherished memories. I try to include design elements that will compliment both the loved one's interests and the recipient's memories associated with the saved cherished clothing. Imagine transforming saved T-shirts, baby clothes, blankets, uniforms or a loved one's sweater into a one-of-kind Clothing Keepsake!

I’m still sewing CLOTHING KEEPSAKES and am accepting clothing shipments while safely following CDC safety precautions. You can even ship from the safety of your own home:

USPS, offers FREE boxes that can be delivered to your door at the following link:
https://store.usps.com/store/results/boxes/shipping-supplies/_/N-yz4qdpZ7d0v8v

Then once your clothing shipment is ready to ship to me, online you can schedule your pick up at your home:
https://tools.usps.com/schedule-pickup-steps.html

If you already have your own box, UPS and Fed EX pick up can also be scheduled online.

Or if you live in the area and heading out for necessities, feel free to drop off your cherished clothing. I have a sanitized bin by the door so you can safely drop your things while practicing “public distancing”. Then we can talk by phone or Facetime to discuss your vision. Let’s collaborate to create Memory Bears, Pillows, Quilts and/or ornaments from your cherished clothing! Keepsake that I’ve made for others can be found at: www.memoriesofevents.com It’s a great way to re-use!
I will continue to serve you safely and make modifications as needed. Stay safe, be kind, check on the elderly and we’ll all get through this together!
