Memory Bird
- Description
- How it works
A smaller alternative to our memory clothes collection: This cute little bird is made from one or two articles of clothing. Perfect for those small pieces that might not be enough to make a bear or quilt. Measures approximately 4 inches tall x 6 inches wide and includes a convenient hanging ribbon. This is for ONE memory bird.
Some ideas for the memory birds:
- use baby's onesies to make a baby keepsake
- make one bird for each member of the family from their clothes and create your own 'family tree'
- make keepsake birdie ornaments for the holidays
- make several birds from clothes from a loved one who has passed away and give to all the members of the family.

Quality of their workmanship and attention to detail is beyond explanation. I’m forever grateful they turned my mom’s favorite blouse into a beautiful work of art that makes us smile every time we see it. We were lucky to have a bear and bird made for her blouse. We had the bird made, since we called her Nanabird! Thank you
Love the cute little Memory Birds, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Thank yo so much for the memory bird made from the pillow my Arnie used. Thank you. It is very nice!
I had some elephants and memorial birds made and was so happy with the outcome. I had clothing left so I decided to make a few more birds. AND I might get more!!! The family and friends that I have gifted these too have been so grateful and I love the idea of my son being with me. These items make my heart so happy!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I cannot recommend this company enough! From the concept to finished product I am blown away. They went above and beyond my expectations! I wanted to get something to remember my dad,grandmother and grandfather by. I made memory boxes out of these birds and I’m simply so grateful and weepy (yes weepy.) with how they turned out. This is such a perfect representation of my loved ones and I can’t thank y’all enough!
My husband absolutely loved his bird , It meant a lot to him.Only problem was the string to the top of it has fell off as soon as it was received other than that it was wonderful ! very happy ! thank you so much for taking your time !
I had the idea to do something with my mother and grandmother's wedding dresses but I wasn't sure what. Well, I came across the patchwork bear and it was just the thing. I was SUPER nervous to send the dresses out and even said a little prayer as I handed them to the UPS guy but they did an AMAZING job. They made me 2 beautiful birds and 2 beautiful bears. They came out better than I could have imagined. They were packaged well, they returned the rest of the dresses like I asked, they communicated with me when I emailed them questions.... it was a wonderful experience!
These memory birds are perfect little keepsake creations. They make me happy every time I view them. Each one was well made and carefully packaged.
