Meet my Forever Bear, a gorgeous chunky little bear made to hold onto the memories that mean the most to you. Standing at 12 inches high, the Forever Bear has a lovely chunky feel and sits beautifully, making it perfect for cuddling, displaying on a shelf or keeping somewhere special. What makes each Forever Bear so special is that I work closely with you throughout the whole process. I want your bear to feel personal, meaningful and completely yours, so we can chat about the clothing, the memories behind it and how you would like your bear to look. You can tell me what is important to you, and together we can decide which parts of the clothing you would like to feature. Whether it is a favourite pocket, a special button, a football badge, a logo or a particular pattern, I can help you choose the details that will make your bear unique. I can make your Forever Bear from all sorts of special clothing, including a favourite shirt, PJs, school uniform, football kit, baby grows, baby outfits, dresses, christening clothes, wedding clothes, work uniforms, sports kits, dance costumes, jumpers, hoodies and much loved everyday clothes. I can also use baby's first clothes to create a beautiful keepsake of those tiny early days. Babies Christmas clothes can become a cuddly reminder of a very special first Christmas, while a school uniform can preserve those precious school memories. You can have as much input as you like. If you have a particular idea in mind, I will do my very best to bring it to life. If you're not sure what you want, that's absolutely fine too. I can guide you through the options and help you decide what will work best with the clothing you have. From choosing the pieces of clothing to deciding which special details should be shown, I will work with you to create a personal bear that tells your story. Every Forever Bear is different because every memory is different. Whether it is made from baby's first clothes, babies Christmas clothes, a school uniform, a favourite shirt, PJs or a football kit, your bear will be created with care and made especially for you. A chunky little bear, created together from the clothes and memories you want to keep forever. 🧸❤️

Not sure your clothing will work?

Every garment is different. If you’re unsure whether you have enough fabric, or whether a particular item will work, send Laura a photo and she’ll advise you.

Ask Laura before ordering

What happens after you order

Your order number is how Laura matches the parcel you send to your keepsake, so keep it handy. You can also browse recent work or read customer reviews before you order.

  1. 01

    Order confirmed

    Once payment clears you’ll see where to send your clothing.

  2. 02

    Post your clothing

    Pack it securely with your order number inside. Tracked postage is best.

  3. 03

    Clothing arrives

    Laura emails you when your parcel arrives. The 6–10 week estimate starts from then.

  4. 04

    Back to you

    Finished UK orders are posted back by tracked delivery, and you’ll get the tracking number by email.

How much clothing should I send?

It depends on the design and on the clothing itself. If you’re not sure, send Laura a photo before ordering. Please send clothing clean, and only send pieces you’re happy to have cut and permanently altered.

Turnaround & delivery

Making currently takes around 6–10 weeks from the day Laura receives your clothing. It’s an estimate rather than a fixed date. You pay to post your clothing; finished UK orders come back by free tracked delivery.

Appearance & variations

Yours will be the same design as the photos, but the type of fabric, its pattern, age, wear and any marks will all show in the finished keepsake.

Cancellations & your rights

Because each keepsake is made to order from your clothing, the usual right to cancel for a change of mind doesn’t generally apply. Your statutory rights if something is faulty or not as described are not affected. Read returns and cancellations.
