People Give This Woman The Clothes Of Their Loved Ones So She Could Turn Them Into Memory Bears
Some might disagree but in a very optimistic way, every moment is precious. Every downfall is a lesson and any uprise is a blessing. Well, yes yes, you can always argue that there are some exceptions but to sum it all up, life is really precious, therefore everything that comes within it should be cherished. Despite that being said, sometimes it's pretty hard to savor the moment when it's all just in your head. But surely enough, every problem must have a solution and this lady, Mary Macinnes, started to make adorable Teddy bears from old clothes of people's loved ones to help people preserve their precious memories. Some people wish to preserve a memory of their children while some find remorse in the bear made from clothes that belonged to someone who passed away. For others, it's a cute little substitute of a loved one that went away for a while. She usually spends 5-6 hours planning, cutting, creating & sewing each bear and it's all well worth it! Take a look at these cuties!

This is the sweetest thing that I have ever saw. I have a friend Monet who is 14 my age, her mom just passed away only 3 nights ago, and she has been depressed for the past 3 days, I'm so going to tell her about this so maybe she can get her moms clothes turned into a bear that she can have forever.

Iv'e had a total of 5 dogs in my life and now I only have one. This brings back so many memories of my dogs, which one of them died from cancer 3 years ago.

Wrong - the foot says 'hubby', which is short for 'husband' and this is an adult's hoodie. Memory bears are sometimes for baby memories, sometimes for lost loved ones.

Especially poignant if you could make it out of clothing that still had the loved one's scent on it.

If they wore a special cologne or perfume you could spray it with that every so often 🤗

This woman is fantastic and I'm so happy that she thought of something so brilliant.

My mom passed at 92. That Christmas I made small pillows for family from her favourite mauve skirt & a couple of her blouses. Everyone was thrilled.

I would LOVE to be able to contact this woman and discuss prices. I have more than one person that I would like to memorialize.

Me, too. My best friend committed suicide, and I have one of the last blankets my grandmother made, but it's really worn down now; I can't sleep with it anymore. I was given some of my best friend's work shirts. Although, it would be neat to make each of my daughters' a bear from the kimono I was married in.
