Common questions

Honoring your memory

What fabrics work best?

What is the turnaround time?

Worn-in cotton, flannel, denim, and soft knits adapt beautifully. Be mindful of color combinations when selecting your items.

Each custom commission takes four to six weeks from the day I receive your textiles, allowing me to stitch with absolute care. Wait times could be extended due to high volume & especially around the holidays. If you'd like an estimate on completion, don't hesitate to ask!

How much fabric is needed?

Is it possible to have a designated area for storing cremated remains?

One long-sleeve shirt should suffice to craft a lovely bear. To add some variety to your bear's design, may I recommend choosing two distinct yet complementary fabrics.

Absolutely! You can indicate in your order that you wish to have a pocket added for storing a small container for your remains. (Container for remains not included.)
