Ignite your creativity at this at wholesome Manchester sewing class! Bring along a piece of cherished clothing that holds meaning to you and you'll transform it into a hanging memory heart keepsake. Alternatively you can choose from a selection of pretty Liberty cotton fabrics including William Morris designs.

I create beautiful memory bears and keepsakes from cherished clothing.
It all started when I made my first memory bear from my late Mum's clothing (Lily) in 2011. Since then I have made thousands of bears and keepsakes, which offer much comfort to families missing loved ones. I also use other sentimental clothing including baby clothes, wedding dresses, military and school uniforms. So now I'd like to pass my keepsakes making skills onto you!
