Turn Your Memories into Keepsakes

I create memory bears from the clothing items that you provide. These could be baby clothes that your child has outgrown, clothes that belonged to a lost loved one or your own items that hold a special place in your heart.

How it Works

First you choose which item(s) you would like to have made into a bear. Then you simply place your order on my website. I will contact you by email with my address and instructions. You will then package your items and mail them to me. You can send it by any carrier you choose but I recommend choosing one who offers tracking so you will always know where your package is at.

I work on items in the order that I receive them. Please expect a four week turn-around time once I receive your items. Once your bear is complete, I will mail it back to you. If you have any questions prior to or throughout the process, please reach out to me.

The R&R Memory Bears Story

I have been sewing since I was in Elementary School. It is something I have always enjoyed doing. Several years ago I was first presented with the idea of creating something out of a family members clothes who had recently passed. It took me several months and was a very emotional journey for me to complete. Once it was complete, I gave it to the relative’s spouse who cried when she opened it. They were tears of sadness from missing the person but also tears of joy for having that something to look at and hold onto and remember. This experience had a big impact on me and made me want to continue this path.

I have made other memory items for family and friends over the years such as baby clothes items, high school graduation gifts and bereavement bears.

I have decided it is time for me to make a change and do something I enjoy doing (which is creating memory items) and that will hopefully bring joy to people especially during difficult times.
