Stitched MemoryThe fabric still in the house,
stitched into something you can hold.
A handcrafted keepsake — bear or dog — made from the clothing of someone you've lost, or the blanket of a pet who isn't there to greet you anymore. Quietly rebuilt into a keepsake you can keep close.
For the closet, the bed in the corner, the blanket on the couch.
Grief leaves things behind — a closet full of clothes that don't belong anywhere else, or a bed in the corner that no one moves. A Stitched Memory keepsake takes one of those things — a flannel, a sweater, a dog blanket, the hoodie they slept on — and quietly rebuilds it into a handheld form of who you miss. Not a display piece. Something with weight to it, for the couch, the bed, the lap.
What you can send
One garment is enough for a single keepsake. Sending two or more pieces Katie can combine is a small +$20 upgrade — because piecing the story together by hand takes noticeably longer at the machine.
A favorite shirt, flannel, or sweater
The piece still in the closet because no one can bring themselves to move it. Cotton, flannel, and soft knits piece beautifully — the more worn, the more of them it holds.
Their bed, blanket, or a sweatshirt they slept on
For a pet keepsake: the cover from their dog bed, the blanket from their crate, or the hoodie they pulled off the laundry pile and made theirs. Fleece and cotton bedding work as well as worn clothing.
A signature piece
The sweater everyone in the family would recognize in a photo. The work shirt with their name patch. The harness a service dog wore for years. Anything soft enough to piece.
A small stack, if you can bear to part with it
Multiple pieces let Katie weave more of the life into one keepsake. A few shirts from across a decade, or a blanket plus a favorite hoodie — both work the same way.
Every shape. Same hand-stitched care.
Each one is made the same way — what changes is the silhouette.
From a stack of clothing to something they'll keep
Turnaround is four to six weeks from the day your clothing arrives at Katie's studio, plus shipping.

Katie stitches it by hand
Each keepsake is cut and sewn one at a time. Pockets, logos, buttons, patches — every detail that made the garment theirs is placed with intention.
Theirs to keep
The finished keepsake arrives quietly, ready to hold — hand-cut and hand-sewn one at a time, in memory of the person or pet whose fabric you sent. The worn details of a flannel or a dog blanket kept in the seams. Not a display piece. Something with weight to it, yours to keep close.
