Memory Cushions
Memory Cushions are the perfect way to re-purpose a treasured item of clothing, whether that item belonged to a loved one, no longer around, or an item that evokes a special memory.
Do you have a favourite item of clothing that brings you fond memories of someone who is no longer around? Why not turn that item into a cushion that can still be hugged and bring comfort to you. I can personalise that cushion further by adding a name label in a colour of your choice.
This cushion has been made re-purposing a Primary School leaver’s hoodie that had been grown out of.
This memory cushion is made from re-purposing an amazing homemade wedding dress from 1943. The dress has been unseen for years and now will be on display for everyone to admire the beautiful handsewn beading decoration and handmade rouleau loops and buttons.
It was a wedding gift for the grandson of the war time bride!
"From the start, Claire was very helpful and responsive to my requests. She had great ideas and carried our agreed plan out to perfection. I was touched by her enthusiasm for the project - repurposing my mother's 1943 handmade wedding dress as a cushion to give to my son and his wife on their wedding - and the care she put into such a personal gift. Thank you Claire for everything"
