Kids grow up so fast and as parents, we sometimes wish we could hold on to that first onesie you ever bought or other memorable pieces of clothing. Once babies outgrow their clothes, you generally have two choices: donate them or throw them out. Some creative parents have transformed baby onesies, pants, and other clothing into teddy bears or other stuffed animals.
Having a stuffed animal created from a memorable keepsake lets you and your child hold on to precious memories forever. Even if you can’t sew, there are several Etsy shops offering ‘memory bears’ and other animals made to order from your child’s clothing. If you prefer to make them yourself, there are also several tutorials and patterns available.
Here is just a sample of awesome ‘Memory Bears’ keepsakes made from baby’s clothing.
