Purchase Bears Made From Loved Ones Clothing

By Marcia Marks


It is often difficult to part with garments one associates with a loved one who has passed away. Instead of having these garments stuck away in a drawer or hanging in a closet, it is possible to have a one-of-a-kind treasured keepsake made. Bears made from loved ones clothing provide a wonderful form of comfort in the midst of grief.

Just about any garment can be used from pajamas and aprons to jackets and coats. Sometimes more than one garment is used to add character. Favorite accessories like reading glasses and hats may also be incorporated. Softer fabrics like fleeces and flannels obviously create more cuddly bears but just about any fabric can be used. A more difficult fabric to work with may involve additional cost.

When a beloved grandmother or grandfather passes away, this is often traumatic for the grandchildren. A keepsake bear can help to them to express the grief. It can be hugged close to the heart and will conjure up treasured memories. However, these keepsakes are not toys and although they are strong enough to be hugged and cuddled, they are not really suitable for very small children.

Adults, too, find great solace in these one-of-a-kind keepsakes. A woman who has lost her husband will treasure one made out of a favorite shirt that still has some of his scent. Even if it is well worn, it can still be used, although a lining will probably be needed. A mother who has lost a baby may want to use a special quilt or blanket. A garment worn for a special occasion like a wedding or a prom may also be used.

These items are available from many online stores. It is important to see what customers have to say and examine portfolios before making a choice. It is best to choose one that you feel will offer you exactly what you are looking for. The creators of these items have often experienced loss themselves and making them is not just a job for them. They have a genuine desire to help others with their loss and are prepared to go the extra mile for their customers.

Most of the makers of these items prefer to make contact with the customer via telephone or email to gain insight into their situation. This helps them to put real heart into creating the item. Once details have been settled, the garment needs to be securely wrapped and preferably sent via a tracked method of delivery.

The scent of loved ones can be very comforting. Suppliers are often prepared to accommodate you if you would like the garments to retain their scent. However, garments that are soiled or smell of smoke must be laundered. Garments may have stains and you need to state whether these should be incorporated or not.

Bears made from loved ones clothing provide comfort and a way of preserving precious memories. They help you to feel closer to the one you have lost. Send off a treasured garment and before long you will be holding a keepsake bear you can treasure and even pass on to future generations.
