This Memory Octopus 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! The Octopus is  an 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 Octopus was 100% designed and created by me ,Sunny Rodriguez.  Sorry, I am not selling the pattern for others to sew at this time. 
The Octopus measures  5.5" tall.  We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All Octopuses  are cut from the same pattern size.
****Compatible Fabrics****

No two octopuses will look alike. They are handmade.  The fabric will dictate how the octopus will look. Firm fabrics like denim will make a stiff solid octopus while a octopus made from a sweatshirt will make a softer cuddly octopus. 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. 
👕Size Shirts that can be used:
You can send 3 shirts to have 3 different colors on your octopus.
You would need to send 3 adult at least small shirt 
For an octopus made from one shirt one medium long sleeve shirt would work. 
 Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing. 
I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a bear if there isn't enough. 
Each octopus is specifically designed to use the details available to resemble the shirt as much as possible. If the shirt has a button collar, zipper collar, button down strip, buttoned shoulder tabs, buckles, lace, sequins, beads, embroidery or a picture, I do my best to  add it to the bear. The animal will not receive these details if a customer requests they be left off or if it wont cut or sew. If you are unsure, you can always message me!  Details that interfere with the construction of the bear will have to be left off. If you are unsure if a detail can be kept ,please contact me . You are welcome to send pictures of your garment to gain a clearer understanding.
