Memory Blankets and Cushions
Do you have some baby clothes that you don't want to keep stored in a box or give away? or perhaps a late friend or relative shirt or jumper and would like to turn it into something to remember them?
I can help!
I use the key features in the clothing to turn them into either a memory blanket or cushion to be treasured forever.

Clothing Required
Memory Blanket
Memory Cushion
-
Lap/cot bed (c.78 x 135cm) - 55+ items
-
Single bed (c.140 x 180cm) - 70+ items
-
Double bed (c. 180 x 180cm) - 130+ items
*based on 3 months plus
The more items you supply, the more varied and memorable the blanket will be! I would suggest not including silk, wool or velvet items as they don't wash or wear well.
The blanket will be fully machine washable, and full washing instructions will be provided.
A beautiful cushion can be made from just one piece of clothing or many items. Please get it touch to discuss pattern and size options.
Any questions? please get in touch!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take you to make and return the completed memory blanket/cushion to me?
This is always the first question I receive! This will depend on many things. How many orders I have, how big you'd like your completed blanket/cushion to be, and the time of year (Christmas and summer is always the busiest!) - but I will always give a rough completion date upon discussion and order; approx 6 weeks.
I have one to two key pieces I would like to ensure are included - how can I make you aware of these?
Great! Just pop those items into a separate bag or label them "Key pieces - must be included" and I will ensure they take centre stage!
Do I need to wash the clothing first?
Its not essential but clean, ironed, clothes is preferred.
I don't quite have enough clothing; can you still make something for me?
Yes absolutely! Contact me and we can make something amazing with what you have!
How do I get the clothing to you and can I collect it from you?
If you live locally to me, you're welcome to drop (and collect) the clothes from me. Otherwise it'll be posted second class recorded via Royal Mail.
Can I have the cut clothing back again?
Yes of course. Please state that you would like the clothing back when ordering; otherwise it will be disposed off.
Do you have pets? Im allergic and don't want my clothing near them.
I don't have any pets. I have a separate sewing room where I work which only I enter (unless my husband is bringing me a cuppa, but that's rare!)
