Bertie Memory Bear
Bertie is Watson's brother, a keepsake bear crafted from your clothes, but without the layered design. You can add glasses, headwear, hoodies & clothing. He stands at 16 inches fully extended or 12 inches in a seated position.
Bertie Bears are made using the Funky Friends Factory Calico Bear Pattern.
Crafty Fox Memory Bears are handcrafted, completely unique and preserve memories of lost loved ones, cherished newborns and all of lifes biggest milestones. Each bear incorporates clothing and fabric provided by you, sewn to your specification. They are the ideal gift for family members, or as a keepsake for yourself that keeps memories alive and can be handed down through generations to come.
All my bears are stuffed with mixed polyester hollow fiber filling that is compliant with British Fire Safety Reguations.

Find your special clothes
Decide what items you would like to send to me, the most important thing is selecting items of clothing which are sentimental to you and the ones that you really want to treasure. Please bear in mind that thick materials like leather and suede are difficult to work with and thin materials like chiffon are delicate and will affect the durability of your finished bear.
Choose your bear
Decide which bear you would like me to make from the website. If you would like any personalisation please add that to your order before you checkout. The description will give a guide as to how many items of clothing I would need minimum for your bear. Checkout when ready.
Post your items to me
I recommend that you send your clothes Royal Mail tracked or tracked with whichever company you choose to use. Make sure you enclose a print out of your order confirmation or a hand written note that includes your name and any specific instructions you would like me to know. Once I receive your clothes I will email you to confirm the clothes have arrived safe.
Making the bear
Once I have received your clothing I will begin designing your chosen bear. If you have any specific way you would like the clothes placed on the bear, please don’t forget to add a note in with your clothes. All the fabric will be lined with adhesive cotton which will stabilize the fabric and increase its strength. Once complete I will return your keepsake bear to you via EVRI tracked.
