Unlimited Amount of Items: may include Shirts, Sweatshirts, Jersey’s, Children’s Clothes, Scarves, Towels, Blankets, Tank Tops, Boxers, Pants, Ribbons, Patches, Button-ups, Hats…
as long as it’s fabric, I sew it into the blanket.. I send back the items I don’t use with the final blanket.
I try to use the front and back of all shirts, sleeves and all parts of special items.

Extras: Bordering – add length and width by framing each shirt and/or outer edge.
Other Items: Pillows, Throws, Scarves, Duvets, Pillowcases, and any other suggestions or ideas you light have.
The Process:
Gather your items that you have… you would then send them to me.. I then, organize, sort and cut. I cut the size depending on the largest print. Each blanket is unique and made for the items given to me.
I will take pictures and email them to you..from there we can rearrange, change, take out.. so on.. each step I ask for approval..
Price includes:
- Cutting, Organization, design and Layout
- Sewing, thread, time, pictures
- Fabric(s) (if needed – for back)
- Interfacing (strengthen shirts if needed)
- Batting (1/2 inch padding)
- Tacking
can work in payments if needed.

What a beautiful idea…
cuddling up tightly around your loved ones clothes, shirts & items when you miss them or just need to spend time with them.
I recently made four memory blankets for a family whose father/husband had passed away.. 
Colleen, wife and mother, kept all of his clothes, socks even! and had me create these beautiful memory blankets. We also added digital photo ‘squares’ to the blanket.. I made a collage of varies photos of their dear Father plus their favorite photo of him in a field of sunflowers.. what a beautiful memory to hold on too.
I made this pillow to them as a gift. Here’s the other photos of the pillow:
His birthday would have been on Valentine’s Day! I know they miss him, but I do hope that these blankets brought an enjoyment to their hearts they haven’t felt since his own hugs. I do believe he is still with us and that I felt him a lot making these blankets.. very big warm hug to you and yours, Colleen.
Loving what I do….
Thank you Thank you Thank you… feeling blessed.
Happy New Year – Fresh, Clean Starts
