Stitched MemoryThe blanket they slept on,
stitched into something you can hold.
A handcrafted keepsake dog made from a pet's blanket, bed cover, or a favorite sweatshirt they curled up on every night. Quietly handmade for the families carrying a loss that no greeting card aisle has a section for.
The bed in the corner that no one moves.
The hardest part of losing a pet is how much of them is still in the house — the bowl in the cupboard, the bed in the corner, the blanket on the back of the couch. A Stitched Memory keepsake gives that fabric somewhere to go. Not a display piece on the mantel — something with weight to it, in a lap, in the shape of the friend who isn't there to greet you anymore.
What to 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.
Their blanket or bed cover
The blanket from their crate, the cover from their dog bed, the throw they claimed as theirs years ago. These are the fabrics that carry the most of them — the places they slept, the places they curled up.
A human sweatshirt they made theirs
The hoodie they pulled off the laundry pile. The throw on the couch you found a dog hair on for three years after. Soft cotton holds the form of where they were.
Their travel piece
The towel from the back seat, the camping blanket, the throw from the camper. The fabric that smells like every road trip they ever took.
A working or service piece
A service vest, a working harness liner, the bandana they wore on hikes. Anything soft enough to piece — Katie can work around the stiff straps and buckles.
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 dog whose blanket you sent. The worn softness of the fleece they slept on kept in the seams. Not a display piece on the mantel. Something with weight to it, in the shape of a dog, yours to keep close.
