This memory bear is made from the shirt or clothing of someone who has passed away or matured. It is a perfect way to memorialize a loved one! The bear is an excellent size to hold at night or display on a shelf. It makes a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love.
This bear was 100% designed and created by me, Sunny Rodriguez. Sorry, I am not selling the pattern for others to sew at this time.

Each bear 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 bear will not recieve these details if a customer requests they be left off or if it wont cut or sew.  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 garmet to gain a clearer understanding.
