Sewlee Memories and More I make memory animals, pillow covers, blankets, ornaments, & whole lot more. I love to sew, embroider and create.

I enjoy trying new sewing patterns and items, along with making my own patterns.

Sometimes it’s the smallest little touches that make a gift extra special. 💕🌸

I was given this adorable plushie flower pot and asked to add a new baby’s name to it as a special gift. 🥰

I embroidered the baby’s name onto the flower pot, turning an already cute little gift into something personalized just for them. 💖

I love how adding a name can make a simple keepsake feel so much more meaningful. And how sweet will it be for this little one to have something with their name on it as they grow? 🌸👶💕

Another little project, another happy customer, and another reminder of why I love creating these special touches!

🧔✨ **Yesterday was World Beard Day!!** ✨🧔

Celebrating World Beard Day with a few of the gnomes I’ve made! 🎉

My favorite season is **fall**, so of course I had to make one with some fun fall fabric. 🍁🍂 But the best part? **He’s customizable!**

The other four gnomes were made from a loved one’s tie-dye shirts. 💙 I added white beards to match the beard their loved one had when he wore those shirts, making each gnome a little more personal and meaningful.

I have so much fun trying different fabrics, beard styles, and designs to see how each one turns out. There are so many possibilities, and I can’t wait to make more and share them with you!

Who knew **World Beard Day** would inspire some crafty fun? 😂🧔

Sometimes the sweetest projects are the simplest ones. 💕🧵

A little girl named **Emma** now has a sweater made especially for her!

Her mom showed me a picture of what she wanted, then I found the sweater and yarn. From there, I used **hand embroidery stitches** to create Emma’s name and the adorable little bow on the sweater. 🎀

I think it turned out **so cute!!** 🥰

I love getting to take someone’s idea and turn it into something special they can actually wear and enjoy.

I enjoy several things about September. There are several birthdays in my family, including mine and my daughter's; along with my husband and my anniversary. September also has my grandmother's birthday who we think about and miss everyday. There are also cool mornings and less humidity...when it gets here of course; along with cozy things and trees changing colors. September just one of the wonderful months in my household. Happy 1st day of September!!🍁🍂

✨ Happy National Relaxation Day! ✨

Everyone has their own way to unwind...

For me, it's sewing, creating, crafting, and drawing new patterns. Whether I'm in my sewing room or relaxing at the campground or in between bus runs, creating something by hand is my happy place. 🧵🧸✏️❤️

How do you like to relax? I'd love to hear what helps you recharge!

🧵Sometimes a blanket is more than just a blanket… it’s a collection of memories. ❤️

A friend reached out to me because they were moving and wanted to do something special with her husband’s old jerseys from when he played here in Virginia.

With **about 30 jerseys** going into this blanket, there were a LOT of memories to work with! ❤️ Each jersey had its own story, and together they became a one-of-a-kind keepsake they can take with them into their next chapter.

I love being able to take something that might otherwise be packed away in a box and turn it into something that can be used, enjoyed, and remembered every day.

Remember the bridal robe I made from this wedding dress? Then came the purse... and I mentioned there was still more to come. ❤️

Well, here is the next chapter in this beautiful wedding dress story. 💍

These keepsake ornaments were created from the same wedding dress, using both the delicate lace and the white satin underneath. But what makes them even more meaningful is the handwriting.

The names on each ornament are the actual handwriting of the bride’s grandmothers, taken from an RSVP they signed for the bride’s parents’ wedding many years ago. I transformed a photo of their handwriting into an SVG, then used my Cricut to write their names onto fabric so their signature could become part of this keepsake.

Each ornament was finished with ribbon in colors chosen by the family to go along with the bride’s wedding, making them ready to hung and treasured for years to come.

I love how this wedding dress continues to tell a family’s story. What was once worn on one unforgettable day has now become a bridal robe, a purse, and these keepsake ornaments—each carrying memories from different generations.

And yes... there is still one more special keepsake to come from this wedding dress. I can’t wait to share the final chapter of its story with you. 💕

✨ Remember my wedding dress series, where I shared that there was still more to come? While this isn't made from the wedding dress itself, it's another reminder that treasured fabrics can become beautiful keepsakes instead of being tucked away. 💕

This custom wedding trunk was created as a gift for a bride—a special place to safely store the memories from one of life's biggest days.

Her mom provided the trunk along with a dance costume that held years of precious memories. I carefully pieced the costume together to create fabric large enough for the top of the trunk, embroidered it with my embroidery machine, and then covered the top of the trunk with it.

To make it even more meaningful, I reused the original bedazzled trim from the dance costume around the top and side edges. I love that those sparkling details get to continue telling their story instead of sitting in storage.

Whether it's a wedding dress, a dance costume, a favorite shirt, or another treasured fabric, I love finding new ways to preserve the memories they hold. Every stitch gives those memories a chance to be enjoyed for years to come. ❤️

Thank you for following along as I continue this journey of turning meaningful fabrics into lasting keepsakes.

Remember the bridal robe I shared a little while ago that was made from a mom's wedding dress? 💕 I mentioned there was more to come...

Well, here's the next keepsake from that very same wedding dress!

This beautiful purse was such a fun project to create, and I am so in love with how it turned out.

Every detail was chosen with love:
🤍 A vintage-style kiss clasp metal frame
🤍 A 47-inch chain that hangs right at the waist, making it perfect to wear as a shoulder or crossbody purse
🤍 A hidden pocket featuring a message to the bride, recreated in her mom's and dad's own handwriting
💙 The blue lining made from one of her daughter's dance costumes—a beautiful way to bring together memories from two generations in one special keepsake.

I love taking something as meaningful as a wedding dress and giving it a new life—creating pieces that can be used, loved, and passed down while keeping those precious memories close.

Oh... and if you notice an extra little model in the photos, my dog decided she wanted to be part of the photoshoot too! 🐶❤️

And yes... there's still more to come from this special wedding dress! I can't wait to share the next keepsake with you.

Thanks for following along as I create memories and relax... one stitch at a time. ❤️
