Our lovely memory bed runners are made from the most cherished of your little one's old clothes and are a great way to remember your child's baby years. As well as being great for remembering childhood, they make equally lovely keepsakes when using adult clothing.
Handmade by our small team, we do our best to incorporate all of the special parts of the clothing you submit so that you receive a bed runner blanket that you're delighted with. Backed and edged with lovely snuggly fleece fabric with a 7cm fleece border, they're perfect for cuddling up with.
We generally use a cream colour for girl's blankets and light blue for boy's blankets as we find this compliments the general colours of the clothing. However, we can also use light pink so please let us know when ordering what you'd prefer.
Sizes
With baby clothing, we tend to use each item for two squares - one from the front of the item and one from the back (hence we ask for approximately half as many items of baby clothing as there are squares). The front squares from babygrows will very often incorporate the poppers. If you want to incorporate more items or don’t want us to use plain patches from the backs of items, then please let us know in the Special Instructions at the checkout or in a note with your order.
More Details & How It Works
Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive an email telling you how to send us your clothes.
If you have got a lot of special requests and additions then, depending on the complexity, we may contact you to request an additional payment to cover the cost of making these. While our keepsakes can be machine washed at 40°C, we would prefer that they are hand washed and dried naturally. Do not tumble dry.

Orders placed using the Express services can be completed within 1 week of us receiving the clothing, depending on the level chosen.
