Choosing the clothes for your memory bear or cushion
Above all, its the memories that count!
The old threadbare cardi your Dad wore when gardening, the dressing cosy gown your grandma wore for cuddles on the sofa. Or the outfits worn for special occasions like weddings or holidays. or a mix of all of these special garments that each tell a story, its completely up to you. Clothing worn on favourite photos is lovely to use too. Clothing can tell such a tale, and evoke wonderful memories.
Here is a rough guide to help you choose.
For memory bears I would recommend 1 to 3 items of clothing. Shirts, tee-shirts, cardis, jumpers, nightwear, fleeces, dressing gowns are all great. (Leather and suede cannot be used as they are too thick.) Something plain and light coloured for the face, so the eyes and mouth stand out. Something patterned, checks and florals are great, something textured like a jumper or cardi, then maybe a bright colour for the paws and ears, these will all look wonderful together. If you are unsure I can advise please email me. info@lilyslove.co.uk
For memory cushions, 1-2 items of clothing, shirts cardis fleeces and dressing gowns looks fab as cushions. I can use 2-6 for the patchwork style.
