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.)
