Memory Bird, Set of 8
- Description
- How it works
Give the gift of memories to everyone in the family. Save when you order a set of 8 birds.
We will need 2-3 articles of clothing to make 8 birds. Each bird measures approximately 4 inches tall x 6 inches wide and includes a convenient hanging ribbon.
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.

Thank you so much for the beautiful birds. They are much larger than I expected. You did a lovely job with what I had. I only wish that I had saved more clothes .
My father passed away in 2022. I sent in 3 of his shirts to make 8 birds - more than enough fabric. The birds are well-made, they are thicker than I expected. I can't wait to share them with my family.
I ordered a set of 8 memory birds for my daughter (her father recently passed) and her father’s family and they just perfect keepsakes. Something they can have to remind them of him and that he is still with them. They are so well made and will be treasured forever.
I had a bear made from my mom’s nightgowns and used the left over to make these sweet birds for me and my nieces and nephews. They turned out simply perfect and exactly as I hoped with the cute sequined wings from her wristlet.
Thank you so much for taking such care with my Mother’s things!
Our set of memory birds is perfect and such a nice keepsake that married someone special fabrics across three generations in our family. Thanks so much!
It's hard to decide which ones to keep and which to give to my siblings.
These memory birds came out amazing! They were the best surprise and I love knowing that we will always have a piece of my father in law with us.
