Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

How long do keepsake items take?

Please be aware there could potentially be a 3/6 weeks waiting list due to the volume of orders and time/care that goes into creating your beautiful keepsakes, but please contact me to question waiting time as this can vary. We aim to get your items back to you as quickly as possible.

 

How many items of clothing do I need?

For bears we advise up to 7/8 items based on 0-3months

Cushions around 6/7 outfits

Christmas stockings around 4/5 outfits

Blankets – vary on size approx 25 outfits

Any concerns or further questions please contact me.

They’re approximately 11 inches high when sitting, 15 inches standing.

 

What type of clothing can we use?

We have the skills to transform almost any garment into a keepsake. But here are a few we recommend that work best: vests, dresses, baby grows, shirts and trousers, knitted items (not too thick and chunky) denim, fleece, jumpers, PJ’s, sports kits, school uniform and more… please contact me for further advice.

 

What happens to left over clothes/fabric?

We recycle all left overs unless requested otherwise. We will inform you of any unused clothing and it will be returned with your finished keepsake if requested.(please do not intentionally send too many items as this may occur additional postage costs.)

 

Is it additional cost for personalisation on the keepsakes?

No I do not charge extra for names, DOB, weight and time. I also allow a few small sentences/messages please contact to discuss this.

 

How do I send my clothing to you?

Can we request fabrics to suit our requirements?

Yes, many of my customers send me descriptions/photos of what they would like e.g. a nursery room theme & colour, therefore I will create pillows/blankets/ taggies etc. to meet the theme of the nursery. I advise you to order the style of the item you would like on the website then please contact me straight away with special requests/requirements.

 

Can we request a product you don’t currently advertise/sell?

Yes, I welcome all product requests. As all my items are handmade I will do my best to create something to suit your requirements, please contact me sending a description/image of what you would like made and  I will give you a quote and do my best to create it for you.

We cannot offer refunds unless the keepsake is faulty. In the unlikely case that your keepsake is faulty please return to us and we will do our best to put it right.
