Ben Bear & Co - The Little Keepsake Memory Maker

A small creative business making special bespoke memory keepsakes bears from cherished items of clothing

Ever wondered what to do with beloved old clothes you can't bear to part with? I can transform them into special memory keepsakes.

My name is Jo and I am a mother of one adorable, cheeky toddler of a Son. I make all the bears personally, with a home sewing machine and finish all details by hand. I currently work full time and create the bears in my spare time, this is why you may have to wait a little before you receive your keepsake.

What are memory keepsake bears?

Memory keepsake bears are typically made out of cherished clothing to commemorate a special event, mark a milestone in a person’s life or to remember a loved one. Each keepsake is custom-made to order and is individually hand crafted from your cherished clothing. They are all bespoke. I take great pride in meticulously planning, cutting, sewing, and assembling each keepsake to capture your memories as you have requested and feel privileged that you have entrusted me to do so.

How many items are needed to make a keepsake memory bear?

Memory Bear – Small baby clothing (0-6 months) – 8-10 items, for Toddler / Adult clothing –3-4 items (depending on sizes, adding more items often gives a little more interest! )
