I am a mother of 3 and have lived in Shropshire all of my life. I worked as a nurse and midwife in Shrewsbury until I had my family. Whilst my children were growing up I was a registered childminder working from home. During those 16 years I had the pleasure of caring for 35 small children. I also found time to develop my needlecrafts skills, amongst the many other crafts which I have enjoyed as a

hobby. Having extended my tailoring skills I ran a busy alterations and repairs department in Shrewsbury town centre for over 12 months. I have since been running my own sewing and handicrafts business from home in Minsterley for over 12 years and moved to a bungalow in Bicton Heath in August 2014. We have had extensive alterations made to the bungalow to include a new sewing room which is now completed. On a regular basis my work includes shortening trousers / skirts, taking in or letting out garments, shortening sleeves, adjusting wedding dresses for the big day and numerous household sewing jobs. If you'd like to know more please ring / message me on Facebook or on 07719405886 and I will answer any questions as best as I can.

I have two lovely Memory bears to share with you today. These are made from a much loved man’s favourite ties and they are so colourful. I really loved making them and am so pleased have been allowed to share them with you.
Memory bears can be to remember a special person who is no longer with us or they can be made from almost any clothing/fabrics that hold special memories for you. It could be a baby’s first tiny clothing, a school uniform, a sports
shirt, a pets favourite blanket.......the ideas are endless.

I’m happy to make the bears with almost any fabrics that hold memories for you. Some are easier to use than others obviously but I can usually find a way of using most. If they are knitted or stretchy then I have to stabilise it with interfacing before use.
Each bear is made from 4 panels, 2 on the front and 2 on the back so the bears can be made from 1-4 different fabrics ie all 4 can be the same or all 4 can be different.
To make a bear it takes 4 panels that measure approximately 8”x15” so it depends on how big the items of clothing are to say how many are needed to make a bear ....for example to make a bear to remember new baby days it takes 4 babygros.
A Memory bear normally costs just £25.00 and if you want a special personalised label to hang around his neck it’s just £5 extra.
If you’re not local to me then I am more than happy to sort out details of what you’re wanting via messenger and post your completed Bears back to you...it usually cost £5.50 for postage via a courier within the UK
Please note.....Memory bears are keepsakes and are not suitable as toys because they are made from your fabrics but they are made with safety in mind and I always use best quality stuffing .a
