A shape that hugs you back

Cuddle Bear

The same hand-stitched keepsake as the Signature Bear, shaped for how it'll actually be held. A flat front, a round rear, and legs that flop out of the way so nothing gets in between you and the hug. Built from the same clothing you'd send us for any keepsake.

Made for

Who it's for

1
Kids, or anyone who wants a bear that's easy to keep on a chest or a pillow
2
A keepsake meant to be pulled close — not displayed on a shelf
3
When the feel of holding it matters as much as what it's made from

The craft

How it's made

Step 1

You send us the clothes

Same as every Stitched Memory keepsake — two or three pieces with meaning, in the fabrics you want preserved.

Step 2

Katie shapes the silhouette

Same stitching, same care as the Signature Bear. What's different is the pattern — a flatter front, a rounder rear, legs that flop naturally so the bear settles into an arm instead of poking out of one.

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: Same fabrics as the Signature Bear — cotton shirts, flannel, knits, light denim, baby clothes. The shape comes from the pattern, not the fabric.

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

Pricing

Pick how much room you want for the story

Every Cuddle Bear is hand-sewn by Katie with the same care — no "nicer" versions at any price. Starts at $149 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.
