The classic, made to be held

Signature Bear

Our signature keepsake bear. Hand-sewn from clothing you send us — a baby's first outfit, a wedding shirt, a grandparent's favorite flannel — into something you can hold whenever the story calls for it.

The craft

How it's made

Step 1

You send us the clothes

Two or three pieces with meaning. We work around the patterns, collars, and buttons you want preserved.

Step 2

Katie cuts and stitches by hand

Every keepsake is built one at a time, in the order they arrive. The finished piece passes a quality check before it ships.

Step 3

A keepsake + a digital gallery

The NFC tag sewn inside opens a private photo gallery on any phone — so the story keeps growing.

What clothing works: Cotton shirts, flannel, baby clothes, knits, light denim. We'll tell you if anything you send won't work.

Turnaround: 4 to 6 weeks from when your fabric arrives.

Pricing

Pick how much room you want for the story

Every Signature Bear is hand-sewn by Katie with the same care — no "nicer" versions at any price. Starts at $129 for a single garment, with a +$20 upcharge if you're sending more than one (extra fabric work for Katie). What you're choosing below is how much room the digital gallery has for the photos, videos, and stories that go with it — a one-time charge for lifetime access. No subscriptions, ever.
