Let customers speak for us
from 72 reviewsWhat perfect keepsakes - I ordered a bear and a blanket - they are more than I ever expected. Thank you so much. I can just imagine these keepsakes being in our family for years xxx
I absolutely loved the idea of a waiting list deposit. Knowing that I got on the list for one of the increidble bears that you make made me so happy. I waited nearly 12 months for my bear and I was not disappointed when I received it. Communication through the whole process was excellent. The clothes I used were from my daughter when she was a baby and I knew they were not going any where and I was not in a rush to receive the product so the waiting list worked perfectly for me.
We had 2 bears created for our children. Mandy listened to our creative ideas and created 2 beautiful bears. They are a fantastic keepsake that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you so much Mandy! 🥰

I received my keepsake in the mail and WOW! Mandy has done such an incredible job and took care of my little ones belongings so beautifully and created the most gorgeous teddy bear keepsake! What a wonderful memory for myself and my daughter to keep for years to come! I will definitely be keeping my son's clothes for her to create a little lion! Thank you Mandy!
I can't recommend Mandy enough! This memory keepsake lion is absolutely stunning and beyond what I could have hoped for. Every detail is so beautifully crafted, and you can tell so much love and care went into making it. The use of my little ones' clothing and little touches perfectly capture the memories I wanted to preserve. It’s such a special way to cherish those precious moments. I’ll treasure this forever! Thank you for creating something so meaningful and unique!
Received my keepsake bear of my daughter’s baby clothes and it’s absolutely stunning! Couldn’t be more obsessed with the bear and can’t wait to have enough clothes for a quilt soon!! Highly recommend!!
Hey Mandy
We received our keepsake quilts, I am speechless. I cried so much. All happy tears. Our journey to our twins was not easy. It took us 6 years. I had lots of complications which made the first 3 months of their lives difficult. Even tho being a first time mum to my twins was challenging and amazing, I struggled with my mental health because of traumatic birth. This caused most of my memories to be a blur. Most of which I have photos to remember what they wore. So seeing the quilt made me realise how precious these quilts are. You are so talented and created the most beautiful keepsake quilt.
I would highly recommend you a thousand times over to anybody wanting a beautiful keepsake. Thank you so much ♥️
Perfect product. Highly recommend Mandy make magical products about your treasured baby items
I’ve been meaning to email you to thank you. I am so in love with the bear it really reminds me of my mum and makes me happy (and sad!!) when my kids hug the bear talking about their grandma. What a beautiful business to have. THANK YOU SO MUCH xxx
Mandy did an amazing job with our keepsake bear. You can tell the bear was made with love and care, and Mandy was such a pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much for our beautiful keepsake
I kept my now adult children clothing for 29 years. I went through a stage thinking my grand kids will wear them but that's not the case. I saw Mandy's reels and thankfully I followed her and I was admiring her work. I end up purchasing 2 small blankets. I packed my babies clothing nervously as you can imagine I've kept them for this long. I must admit I was hoping I wouldn't regret this. Mandy kept in contact and fellow the steps with me. We made some decisions along the way. Being 90s baby clothing isn't like today's. Mandy captured all the bows, frills and ribbons into the blankets. I received a beautiful well packed box with blankets in their own special bags. Mandy's workmanship is beautiful and she is a perfectionist 🩷 I can now say I have no regrets and I am loving the outcome of these beautiful little rugs. Please do yourself a favour 🙏 Do it !
Thank you Mandy xxx
Mandy creates the most magical and perfect pieces. Everything through from the design, the communication and final piece was incredible. Any one would be extremely lucky to have a Seemeakeepsake piece.
Blanket was beautiful made with my daughter’s clothes. Really well done . Took a while to come but very happy with it!!
Let me just start by saying Mandy is amazing to work with. She takes such pride and care with each individual piece and it shows in how she interacts with her customers treating them like friends. The whole process is pleasant when dealing with her and she double checks to make sure you’re 100% happy.
The appliqué sweatshirt is such high quality and beautifully designed, I have received numerous compliments, I love it so much I want another one 😂 thank you for my beautiful jumper.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many items do I need to send for bears or lions?
For the best outcome, I will need 10-12 of clothing. If the clothing is small (e.g size 0000 or 00000) I will require at least 12 items plus at least 2 items that are bigger in size (such as blankets, swaddles, wraps, bassinet covers, sleeping bags or size 000 onesies) as some pattern pieces require larger sizes.
For keepsakes made from adult clothing I can work with 1 item but its best to send a minimum of 2 items for contrast.
How many items do I need for quilts?
For a 20-square quilt: 10-20 items.
For a 25-square quilt: 15-25 items.
