Waiting List and How to Order
My waiting times will vary throughout the year so please message me for an estimated waiting time or to be placed on the list. I will not need any payment when you place your order, but I will require full payment when I start your item.

PLEASE NOTE the Bears and animals are made to a very high standard using quality materials and polyester stuffing that conforms to British Safety Standards. But these animals are NOT suitable for children under the age of 14 as they have not been CE yested. These are homemade items and to get them CE tested would involve burning the fabric which you would agree is not feasible. Also materials such as eyes, bows and buttons pose a choking hazard. As the Keepsakes are made out of used clothing, they are likely to be more fragile than toys made from new fabric. Therefore, I must stress that they are a Keepsake and not a toy. So please do not give them to under 14’s to play with!

I can not accept any responsibility for any incidents that may occur if you do not follow these guidelines.

Bespoke Commisioned Items

Thank you for looking at my page, and I hope I can help to make your items into the beautiful keepsakes you would cherish x

⭐️Watch this space⭐️ I may have a slight change in my plans which would allow me to take on orders on a regular basis, just not in the quantity I have been doing previously. Please keep following me and I’ll update you as soon as I know xx

User

I’m really sorry to announce that I am not going to be taking any new orders for the foreseeable future. I have decided to go back to University to study for a Masters and will start in September. All current orders will be made so don’t worry! Thank you for all your support over the last 4 years, I’ve really enjoyed turning your precious items into beautiful keepsakes xx

So this bunny was the animal wrapped up and given as an anniversary gift. Made from a lace wedding dress, orange bridesmaid dress and the grooms tie x

User

I am soooo excited about this one!! I was given a wedding and bridesmaid dress with the instructions to make whatever I liked and to wrap it up so she has no idea what it is! To be opened on their first wedding anniversary. All will be unveiled in the next couple of weeks - but I can say the animal is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait for it to be opened X

Chloe’s beautiful bunny, made with velour baby grows so gorgeously soft too x

This was a very time consuming bunny!! It took ages to decide where to put everything, and a lot of unpicking of the clothing’s seams to gain valuable mm’s. But well worth it ❤️

We had Welsh bunting and a cushion made for that personal touch in a little man's room and to add that little bit of Welsh theme to our home for my partner.all i can say is wow. The time and effort that must have gone into this. Such talent and worth every penny as not only is it the cost of the materials but also the time that has gone into them!! I would recommend with out a doubt. If your looking for that something special memory stitches is the place to come. Thank u so much xx

User

Tonight after only dropping some very special clothes off to Alison a few days ago, I had a phone call saying our bear was ready and what a very special bear he is too. He has made us all cry because he reminds us of a very special person but we can’t thank Alison enough for keeping our memories alive. We would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of having a memory bear made as you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Alison

User

Thank you so much Alley for Ellie's gorgeous quilt. It is so lovely to be able to keep some of the clothes she's looked so cute in over the past year without being accused of hoarding! It will be lovely for her when she's older to see what she wore and how small her feet were. Ellie loves it too especially all the little pockets and dangly bits, she played on it for ages. The quality of your work is amazing and I would highly recommend you to anyone. Your prototype bunny is also looking great, I will be having one of those when I've collected some more clothes! Good luck in your new venture I am sure you will do great x

User

Thank you Sugar Moose for the amazing memory blanket you made for my son for his first birthday. Maisie from Sugar Moose took great care, love and attention to make the whole blanket a beautiful keepsake. We discussed which clothes would go well and kept me up to date with progress. I would highly recommend Sugar Moose and will definitely use their services again. A huge thank you, you made a mummy and very cheeky little Jenson very happy xxxx

User

So talented! My blanket is great quality and it's beautifully perfect. Service was very friendly and met all of my high maintenance requests hehe � Thank You!!

User

My sister arranged this for herself and then for me what an amazing idea a memory that you cherish forever! A piece of my dad I will never forget � Highly recommend Xx

User

My dad traveled a fair bit and had a few tshirts to show off his travels, when I started travelling I always came back with a tee for him. Sadly he passed away in 2015, I was able to have some of his tee's and they have been made into a beautiful quilt for his first grandchild and me to share, thank you x

User

Lovely lady to deal with, made a beautiful bunny for my daughters christening gift, and also 2 memory blankets for both my girls for Christmas, will defiantly recommend to others. Thanks again xxx

User

Just want to say thank you so much for my little boys g tube patches. They are perfect. I messaged to see if some could be made, just nice, simple, plain covers for the g tube and Ali went out of her way to order templates to make fun ones for my little boy. He's now got dinosaur, dog, owls and monkey ones. His area around the gastrostomy site also had over granulation and was weepy but since using these covers which are 100% cotton this has all cleared up and the site looks nice and clear. Thank you so much, cannot recommend you enough x

User

User

I wanted my three kids Christmas stockings to have their names stitched on them. Someone on Facebook recommended memory stitches and she was great. They were ready the next day and the stockings looked great with their names on. They will look great for many more Christmas's to come

I picked up my lion made from baby boys clothes tonight and can't stop looking at it as it's absolutely beautiful! My husband, stepson & I were all overwhelmed with emotion seeing his first clothes used to make such a gorgeous crafted item. The pictures don't do the items justice, the quality of work is superb & the memory's they bring will last forever. What a talented lady, thank you

User

I had two lions made with my children’s babygrows. They are both gorgeous and Alison took such care over putting all the motifs from the babygrows on - so all my memories are saved. I also love the embroidered name, DOB, weight and time. I would definitely recommend. X

User

I had 2 beautiful bunnies made for my daughters as a keepsake. I didn't know what to do with their baby grows and if broke my heart to have to part with them. I am so so happy with the result ! Thank you again x

User

I contacted memory stitches to have a patch work blanket made as a 30th birthday present to myself.



From start to finish communication was excellent.



My blanket was made with items belonging to my two children. These items were my most prised possessions and the finished blanket is simply stunning. All the items I sent were different materials even 2 swimsuits. Every patch is perfect.



I would definitely use memory stitches again and I will highly recommend.



Thank you

User

Had a bear and monkey made out of my brothers t shirts that passed away for my children, They are totally amazing and made with such love and care. Really can't recommend enough. Xxx
