Turn a pair of pajamas into a teddy bear (or other animal) for a special keepsake.
These memory stuffed animals are so meaningful. (The majority of these keepsake stuffed animals are made with baby pajamas, but kid’s clothing can be used as well.)
Each stuffed animal has the minimum amount of pajama fabric listed. However, some pairs of pajamas will not yield the same amount of usable fabric. Certain types of pajamas of pajamas will require the use of an additional pair to supplement the amount of fabric. Find out more here: pajama requirements
Faces can be made with safety eyes, permanent fabric marker, appliqued, or embroidered. Add $2 for safety eyes, $5 for appliqued felt, $8 for appliqued + eyelashes, and $15 for an embroidered face. See pictures of the face types here: face options
