Buy Bears Made From Loved Ones Clothing

By Marcia Marks


It is often difficult to part with garments one associates with a loved one who has passed away. Instead of having these garments stuck away in a drawer or hanging in a closet, it is possible to have a one-of-a-kind treasured keepsake made. Bears made from loved ones clothing provide a wonderful form of comfort in the midst of grief.

Just about any garment can be used from pajamas and aprons to jackets and coats. Sometimes more than one garment is used to add character. Favorite accessories like reading glasses and hats may also be incorporated. Softer fabrics like fleeces and flannels obviously create more cuddly bears but just about any fabric can be used. A more difficult fabric to work with may involve additional cost.

When a beloved grandmother or grandfather passes away, this is often traumatic for the grandchildren. A keepsake bear can help to them to express the grief. It can be hugged close to the heart and will conjure up treasured memories. However, these keepsakes are not toys and although they are strong enough to be hugged and cuddled, they are not really suitable for very small children.

Adults, too, find great solace in these one-of-a-kind keepsakes. A woman who has lost her husband will treasure one made out of a favorite shirt that still has some of his scent. Even if it is well worn, it can still be used, although a lining will probably be needed. A mother who has lost a baby may want to use a special quilt or blanket. A garment worn for a special occasion like a wedding or a prom may also be used.

There are many online stores offering to make these keepsakes. It helps to examine portfolios of items already made and to read customer reviews. The pictures may give you more idea of what can be requested. You need to be confident that your item will be meticulously planned, cut, sewed, and assembled. It must capture your memories in the way you have requested.

Once you have decided on the garments to use, you will need to communicate exactly what you require to the supplier you have chosen. There are different levels of customization offered and most suppliers prefer to have personal contact with the customer. This may be in the form of emails or telephone calls.

The scent of loved ones can be very comforting. Suppliers are often prepared to accommodate you if you would like the garments to retain their scent. However, garments that are soiled or smell of smoke must be laundered. Garments may have stains and you need to state whether these should be incorporated or not.

Bears made from loved ones clothing provide comfort and a way of preserving precious memories. They help you to feel closer to the one you have lost. Send off a treasured garment and before long you will be holding a keepsake bear you can treasure and even pass on to future generations.
