This Memory Penguin 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 penguin 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. 
The penguin is 15" from the foot to the top of the head. We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All penguins are cut from the same pattern size.  
The tummy measures 9" tall by 7" wide. If you have a shirt you would like the logo on the animal, the logo must fit within  these dimensions. Sadly anything bigger would be cut off. 
****Compatible Fabrics****
These penguins look best in button down shirts but can be made from these fabrics. 
flannels
button down shirts
Pants
Hoodies
Uniforms
Sweatshirts,
dress shirts, 
blankets 
***Fabrics that require the purchase of stabilizer**** 
Tshirts , golf polos , chiffon dresses, women's polyester shirts, thermals, knits,  heavily worn, Thin or See-Through fabrics will require stabilizer. You can find the option for stabilizer in my shop for a $15 charge per bear. 
No two penguins will look alike. These penguins are handmade.  The fabric will dictate how the penguin will look. Fabrics with a small stretch to it will make plump penguins. Firm fabrics like denim will make a stiff solid animal while a penguin made from a sweatshirt will make a softer cuddly animal. 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. 
Animals will recieve collars only if the shirt had a collar. Other garmets that do not come with a collar or button down strip will receive a bow or a bare neck. Message me if you want the fabric to be a specific color. Or you can send another item of clothing to make the bow with. 
Size Shirts that can be used:
Two large size  shirts are required  for contrasting color.
If you are sending one shirt at least a large size shirt is required. One shirt will receive the purchased white flannel fabric I provide. 
The price shown in the listing is for one penguin.  If you would like to purchase more, you can enter the desired amount in quantity. 
Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing. 
Small or smaller shirts will not make a penguin. However you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a bear.  I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.
I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a bear if there isn't enough. 
Embroidery
Embroidery can be placed on the chest or foot.  The chest can have Name birthdate and passing date or the poem "The angels came to set me free" 
For embroidery we offer 
No embroidery 
Poem or name and dates on the chest. 
Please be very sure about the correct spelling of name or accurate date, you give me to embroider. I can only redo an embroidered piece if there is enough fabric available. There will be a $20 charge to correct any errors.
Please provide your embroidery information in the personalization box or note to seller section while checking out. We copy and paste the information into our embroidery program. We do not correct spelling or grammar. 
Each animal 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 animal.The penguin  will not recieve 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 animal 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 garmet to gain a clearer understanding. 
Memorial  items are made from clothing that has been washed and worn. They can be fragile. These items are not a toy and are meant to be on display. It is recommended that you wash the clothing before sending it. It is not recommended to place the completed animal in the washing machine , submerge  in water or placed in a dryer.
