Customer Order - not for sale - This is a sample to show you a finished Betsy bear
Beautiful Memory/Keepsake Bears
If you would like to discuss having a bear made, please use the 'Contact Me' form.
Basic Info:
Despite the name, Betsy is suitable for either male or females clothing and is a more rounded shaped bear who sits approximately 34cms tall.
Clothing required: In order to create a bear with contrast details, two or more items of clothing is preferred. For example: 2 mens shirts/womens blouse. Or trousers/skirt/dress and tee shirt. Most fabrics are acceptable however I don't work with real fur or suede/leather, nor can I accept underwear or clothing that is heavily soiled or covered in pet hair (in the case of pet remembrance as hair clogs my sewing machine and could pass onto my next customers order). Cigarette smoke/ perfume etc odours are ok as I realise that some smells are a strong reminder of the person who once wore the clothing and can evoke powerful memories. Shop bought knitted clothing is fine However handmade woollens are not, as this has a tendancy to unravel once cut. If in doubt, just ask first.
If you wish to add a small container of ashes, this is also possible at no extra cost but you will need to decant the ashes and provide your own container.
I operate an order book whereby I take a note of your request and add it to the book and will give you a wk beginning date when I will be starting your order. I will contact you to arrange drop off or delivery of your chosen clothing a couple of weeks before the date quoted. Full payment will be required before I can commence your order, bank details will be included when I contact you or if you are local, cash is acceptable. Please allow a week per bear to make. If bears are required for special events like Birthdays and Christmas, please enquire in plenty of time as I cannot do rush orders or squeeze you in as this would be unfair on others who have been waiting patiently.
Once your order is complete, I will contact you once again to arrange collection or delivery of your bear(s) back to you. You are very welcome to contact me via this website or my Facebook page www.facebook.com/createdbysue should you have any further questions.
