Unless otherwise requested a small heart will be embroidered underneath the wording at the bottom of each paw or heart patch.

More Information
Almost any clothing can be used and popular items include shirts, t-shirts, jumpers, jackets, jeans, dressing gowns, pyjamas, uniforms, pants and even blankets. Items to avoid are chunky hand knit wools and swimwear materials. The final look of each bear may vary as it depends on the fabric supplied. As used fabrics are more delicate, please be aware the more worn, well washed, stretchy the items are there is a greater chance that the stitches may pull into tiny holes along the seams.
Bears are approximately 46cm from top to toe.
Here is a guide as to how many items to send for a keepsake bear.
Adults: 1 average sized shirt or equivalent amount of material will make 1 bear, long sleeved if a waistcoat is wanted. More items can be supplied if you want your bear to be made in a mix of clothes. If you have chosen the tie option you will need to supply a tie that will be resized.
