Your baby’s first year is filled with unforgettable moments, the first smile, first steps, first giggles, and those adorable outfits they somehow grow out of far too fast. While the days fly by in a whirlwind of feeding, naps, and milestones, there are beautiful ways to press pause and hold onto those precious memories forever.
At Love Keep Create, we specialise in turning your little one’s clothing into handmade keepsakes that tell your family’s unique story. Here are some meaningful ways to preserve the magic of your baby’s first year.
Memory Bears Made from Baby Clothes
Our bestselling Memory Bears are a heartfelt way to transform your baby’s tiny outfits into something you can hug and hold onto for years to come. From baby grows, to old uniforms and favourite jumpers as they grow older, our bears can be lovingly handmade from almost any item you choose.
Whether it’s your little one’s favourite sleepsuit, first Christmas outfit, or their hospital onesie, these bears are created with care and craftsmanship to keep your memories alive. You can even choose to have personalised embroidery on the bear! This can be with their name, or birth weight etc.
You could even create a bear each year, from favourite clothes as your child grows, it will make a wonderful collection!
Your bear will be lovingly handmade by our team, ensuring each bear is completely unique to you. Choose your favourite items from when they were young - make sure you send us enough material according to our guidelines.
If the baby grows are premature or newborn size, we’ll definitely need the maximum. You can leave us special instructions at the checkout so we know which are your favourite items, and we’ll do our best to include them how you wish.
Patchwork Quilts & Cushions of Cherished Clothing
For those who can't choose just a few items, our Patchwork Quilts & Cushions are perfect. They use multiple garments to create a beautifully stitched blanket you can use, display, or keep as a family heirloom.
Every square tells a story, from messy mealtimes to cosy cuddles.
Our Premature Baby Clothing Keepsake Blanket is a gorgeous way capture those early stages of life with your child. Designed specifically to work well and look beautiful with smaller clothing, it's a timeless way to remember clothes you don't want to part with.
This blanket is the same as our regular memory blankets, only the squares have been made slightly smaller to accommodate premature baby items. These items can often be trickier to work with and the small squares take longer to sew, hence the difference in price from our usual blankets.
Add personalisation like your baby’s name and birthdate for an extra-special touch!
Letter Cushions
Our Letter Cushions are decorative, yet functional ways of bringing personalisation and joy to any child’s room!
You can use these delightful letter cushions to spell out a name or simply go with their initials for the perfect addition to any bedroom, nursery, playroom or living room. Add some embroidery for an extra special addition.
Our Keepsake Cushions offer a stylish and subtle way to preserve clothing in a form that looks right at home in any nursery or family room. They're a comforting keepsake for you now, and a meaningful gift for your child when they grow older.
