Bears Made From Loved Ones Clothing As Gorgeous Keepsakes

By Helene Norris


Losing a person that you love is a heartbreaking time. If the person you have lost is your partner, child or parent the feelings of grief can be even more painful as they leave you with just the memories of their life. You can keep the memory of them close with an item of theirs to treasure. Bears made from loved ones clothing is such a way of doing this.

Part of the process of grieving and moving on with life often includes sorting through the belongings of your partner, child or parent. Clothes can be particularly emotive and in many cases the bereaved will keep all the closets and drawers untouched for weeks, months or years. Eventually though the task of disposing of these items must be faced.

There is likely to be certain things which evoke strong feelings; a child's christening gown, a mother's wedding dress, the favorite football shirt of a son. Every item has its own memories and brings the person fleetingly back to life in vivid memories. These things cannot be consigned to the garbage or given to charity for another to wear.

People who are clever with their hands and can sew might be able to use the pieces to create a lovely accessory for the home, perhaps a cushion or quilt. Only a very few may have the talent to create a fantastic teddy bear from the items. Those who are talented enough might find the process too painful while they are still grieving.

If you would like to have a lasting memory made from treasured items, a quick search of the internet will reveal small companies and dedicated caring people who can do this for you. They can use almost any type of fabric and create a cute, cuddly soft toy to keep forever. These people are sensitive to your situation and understand how precious this item will be.

The bear can be crafted from a selection of items which are special in their own way; a shirt, dress or even a tie. They will design for you a unique teddy that includes these special memories. They can also take your instructions to use a particular piece in a certain way or feature one very special item prominently.

A gorgeous keepsake like this gives the bereaved a way to always have their loved one with them. A mum can remember and hold her daughter's prom dress. A dad can keep his son's football uniform. A child can snuggle up to mummy or daddy at night.

Bears made from loved ones clothing can be a beautiful gift for anyone to treasure. As well as a remembrance of those who have passed away, they can be a celebration of a life still growing. Turning old baby clothes into teddies is a fantastic way to mark the growing years of your child and makes excellent gifts for doting grandparents. These bundles of love which are hand crafted for you are great for keeping special times and people with you always.
