Handmade in Australia, this Memory Bear Cat is a unique keepsake created from your sentimental garments.
Each one is lovingly sewn to preserve special memories — whether from a loved one’s clothing, a favourite shirt, pet bandana, or fabric that tells a story.
The sample shown was made from a shirt and cotton dress. You’re welcome to send one or more garments for variety. If needed, I can include complementary fabrics from my own collection to complete the design.
