The uniform of a nurse or doctor is instantly recognisable and evokes memories of key times in our lives and careers. Our uniform bear is a lovely way of remembering the career of a nurse, doctor or other NHS worker and a fantastic way to treasure those items of clothing. We will always do our best to use the detailing from the uniform in the best way possible - just pop in a note if you have any special requests (please note that there may be an additional charge for more complicated requirements).
Our uniform memory teddies also make great gifts for friends, colleagues and loved ones. Why not gift one for a meaningful (as well as fun!) retirement present? They can also be a lovely way to remember someone you've lost, who's job meant everything to them or they dedicated their life to. We have made lots of lovely teddies from uniforms and we always find them, and the stories behind them, really touching.
Sizes
We only need 1 - 2 two items of adult clothing or 2 - 3 items of children's clothing to make each bear.
While our keepsakes can be machine washed at 40 degrees, we would recommend that they are hand washed and dried naturally. Do not tumble dry. The stuffing is 100% CE tested polyester.
As these can be delicate items, often made from very well-worn clothes, they can not be CE tested and therefore come with the following: Warning: This product is not suitable for persons under the age of 14 years. Pattern is by LoveKeepCreate Ltd.
Our images are to display what can be achieved with your clothes. All of our bears use the same pattern, and can be made from any clothes that you send us, whether baby, child or adult.
