This memory whale 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!  It can make a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love. It is a wonderful baby shower gift for a baby who will never meet the loved. The whales are 10" from the tummy to the top of the head. They measure 14.5" from the front to tail. We do not offer the option to scale down the size of the pattern. All whales are cut from the same pattern size. If you have a shirt you would like the logo on the whale , the logo must fit within 10" - 7" space. Sadly anything bigger would be cut off or be close to the eye.****Compatible Fabrics****These whales  can be made from   flannel button down shirtsPantsHoodiesUniformsSweatshirts,dress shirts, blankets sweaters with tight stitching. ***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 whales will look alike. These whales are handmade.  The fabric will dictate how the whale will look. Firm fabrics like denim will make a stiff solid whale while a whale made from a sweatshirt will make a softer cuddly bear. 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:Men's XL long sleeve  shirt can make 2 15" whales.  A short sleeve XL shirt will only make one whale. Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing. Medium  or large long or short sleeve shirt will make one whale.Small or smaller shirts will not make a whale. However you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a whale.  I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a whale if there isn't enough. EmbroideryEmbroidery can be placed on the body.  The poem "This is the shirt I used to wear" is offered.For embroidery we offer No embroideryEmbroidery on one side  Embroidery on both sides Poem on the body 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 $5 charge to correct any errors.Please provide your embroidery information in the message to seller section. You can also label the clothing that you send. Each whale is specifically designed to use the  details available to resemble the 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 whale 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 whale will have to be left off. If you are unsure if a detail can be kept ,please contact me .
