Memory Fish made from a loved ones clothes
This Memory Fish is made from a shirt or the clothing of someone who has passed or matured. It is a perfect way to memorialize a loved one who loved fishing! The fish is a excellent size to hold at night or display on a shelf. It can make a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love.
This fish was 100% designed and created by me ,Sunny Rodriguez. Sorry, I am not selling the pattern for others to sew at this time.
The fishes are 16 inches from the lip to the top of the end of the tail. They are 8" from the tummy to the tallest back fin.We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All animals are cut from the same pattern. The stomach measures 9" long x 7 inches tall. If you have a shirt you would like the logo on the fish, the logo must fit within these dimensions.
****Compatible Fabrics****
These bears can be made from flannel
button down shirts
Tshirts , golf polos , chiffon dresses, women's polyester shirts, thermals, knits
No two fish will look alike. These fishes are handmade. The fabric will dictate how the animal will look. Firm fabrics like denim will make a stiff solid animal while a fish made from a sweatshirt will make a softer cuddly fish. If you are curious if a fabric will work please contact me!
Leather jackets, blazers, coats made of down feathers, and fur coats are not recommended for this item.
Shirts Sizes that can be used:
************************************
Medium long sleeve shirt will make one fish.
Small or smaller shirts will not make a animal. However you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a fish. I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.
I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a fish if there isn't enough.

I can only fit 7 rows of 14 characters including spaces on the patch.
