Not a complicated project. Just a meaningful one. Over the past week, something rather lovely has been happening. Bears have begun appearing everywhere as we’ve been sharing our Scrappy Bear Week. Perhaps you’ve seen them on our social pages, small glimpses of cutting, pressing, clipping curves, and patient hand sewing? They haven’t been identical. They haven’t been perfect. They’ve been made from shirts, dresses, baby clothes, uniforms and favourite fabrics, each one carryin

Crafting With Heart shares Sandi's personal journey and the creation of Family Comforts memory bears.

Choosing materials for a Memory Bear? Use what means the most to you! From shirts to uniforms, any fabric can be crafted into a keepsake.

Check your bear’s material before cleaning. Brush, vacuum, and use gentle bubbles. Rinse, air dry, and finish with a soft brush and new bow!

A Memory Bear is a custom teddy made from cherished items, preserving memories. I design and sew each bear or animal with care, ask me how!
