Our Most Loved Keepsakes
Handmade memory bears, keepsake animals and quilts created from cherished clothing, each one made to preserve the memories that matter most.
Turn precious memories into a Christmas tradition to treasure. ❤️
Have you got your little one’s first Christmas outfit, favourite baby clothes or special garments tucked away?
Instead of leaving them in a box, why not turn them into a beautiful personalised Santa sack that can be brought out every Christmas?
Each Santa sack is lovingly handmade using your treasured clothing, making everyone completely unique and filled with special memories.

❤️ Your Memories, Made Into Something Special
I carefully cut and piece your clothing to create a one-of-a-kind Santa sack, keeping special prints, characters and details wherever possible.
Your finished sack will be unique to your family and made to become part of your Christmas celebrations for many years to come.
A beautiful way to remember how little they once were, while creating a Christmas tradition they can enjoy year after year.
What You Need To Provide
Simply send me the clothing you would like included. Baby clothes, Christmas outfits, favourite shirts, pyjamas and other special garments can all be incorporated.
Because each sack is individually handmade, the final design will depend on the clothing you provide.
Custom-made keepsakes are non-refundable.
