Sherri from Hidden Treasures, and the Lesson Plans blog here at Craft Gossip, tells about the memory bears she made to honor and remember her husband’s grandmother. Her grandmother-in-law was an avid sewer so it was fitting that a sewing project be made to remember her. Each bear was made from clothing that she wore. In all, Sherri made 10 bears to give to family members. Go to Hidden Treasures to read more.

How much does the bears run and how much fabric do you need?
I can’t sew, so does anyone know someone who will make these and what will you charge? Thanks,
Larry
i do a lot of sewing and i would not mind discussing making these “Memory Bears” if it does not infringe on anyones rights.
Please contact me through my Etsy shop. Little Doe Designs to discuss price and options.
I would love to find someone to make Memory Bears for me. I lost my mom in 2013 and would love to give my children and grandchildren a bear made from her clothing. Please help!
