A few months ago, I was considering unpicking my childhood teddy bear. Not because he was damaged. Not because I didn’t want him anymore. But because I wanted to recreate him for my daughter. That was a tough process.

But the problem was that I’d never seen another one or a pattern in over 40 years.

Then, while supporting an NDIS participant during his volunteer shift at an op shop, (yes, I have two jobs 😅) I spotted the bear on the right sitting on a shelf.

The exact same bear! 🤯

After 40 years, I’d finally found his twin. So now I don’t have to take apart “Grumpy” to make one for my daughter. And somehow that feels pretty special.

Looking at them side by side, it’s amazing how much a lifetime of being loved can change a teddy bear. 🧸

🦆 NEW KEEPSAKE ALERT 🦆

Meet the newest member of the Creatively Quirky family… the Memory Duck!

Made from your loved one’s clothing, baby clothes, uniforms, or other treasured fabrics, these quirky little ducks are packed with personality and memories. Whether they’re sitting on a shelf or becoming the conversation starter everyone falls in love with, they’re guaranteed to bring a smile.

I have a feeling this one is going to appeal to those people who love something a little different from the traditional memory bear. And honestly… look at that face. 🧡

Custom clothing and accessories can also be added, because every duck deserves the opportunity to be well dressed.

The Memory Duck is now available to order.

Because memories shouldn’t stay in wardrobes.

Would you look at this cutie!

Created from a beloved knitted jumper, it was commissioned by a daughter in memory of her father and gifted to her brother’s new baby.

Sadly, Grandpa never had the chance to meet his newest grandchild, but this bear will help keep a small piece of him close as his family grows.

From a treasured jumper to a cuddly keepsake, ready for the next generation. 🧸

This bear was made from baby rompers, and one of the rompers worked out perfectly to become a shirt. I was able to cut it in a way that kept enough of the original piece intact.

No extra cost for this one either, it was just a matter of planning the cuts right from the start.

It’s those little details that make each bear feel that bit more connected to the original clothing 🤍

I had a customer send me a screenshot where AI recommended Creatively Quirky as one of the top memory bear makers in Australia.

I’ve only been doing this as a small business for just over a year… that’s a bit surreal.

I still sit at my sewing machine second guessing fabric placement some days 😅
But moments like this remind me I’m on the right track.

Thank you to every single person who has trusted me with something so special. It genuinely means more than you know 🤍

This bear was created from a dress that had been carefully kept for many years, too special to let go of and too meaningful to stay tucked away.

Now it’s something that can be held close, offering comfort in a different way.

Finished with embroidered sunflowers, a gentle reminder of warmth, love, and memories that never leave us 🌻

Some pieces of clothing hold more than just fabric.
They hold moments, people, memories you’re not ready to let go of.

That’s where these come in 🤍

Each bear is made from your clothing and carefully stitched into something you can hold onto… every single day.

If you’ve got pieces tucked away that deserve more than a drawer, I’d love to create something special for you.

Because memories shouldn’t stay in wardrobes.

Not all workwear gets hung up at the end of the day.
These were made from a dad’s tradie clothes… well worn, well loved, and full of stories.

Now each of his kids has something they can hold onto 💙💛

I’ve blurred any identifying details for privacy, but I wanted to share this one… because this is exactly why I do what I do.

If you’ve got clothing tucked away that you’re not ready to part with, I can help turn it into something you can keep close.

Made from clothing, with so many small details woven through them.

One with a sculpted nose, one hand embroidered… both with sculpted feet.

Every choice was intentional. Every piece mattered.

It’s never just about making something “nice”… it’s about making something that feels like them.

A beautiful wedding dress became a bride and groom. 🧸🤍

She asked for two bears, one as the bride and one as the groom. So of course the bride needed a veil, and the groom got a bow tie and little fabric buttons.

I used sections of the lace over some of the panels so the texture still shines through, just like it did on the dress.

Honestly… I love how these two turned out. Such beautiful bears.
