Cat

A curious and friendly keepsake cat made from the outgrown garments of your baby or clothes from a sorely missed family member/friend. 

Each keepsake is handcrafted with love and special care giving each one its unique appearance and personality. They have a faux leather nose but I can change to felt/fabric if required.

They stand around 15” tall and measure 15” from nose to tail.

You can choose to add a keepsake dust bag which is a cotton drawstring bag with the Mint Jelly logo embroidered on it.

What materials can be used? I can work with cottons, polycottons, baby blankets, Babygro's, shirts, T-shirts, denim, dresses and those similar. I wouldn’t recommend anything loose knit that will unravel when cut. Please message me if you need to check your chosen fabric. Garments need to be clean and not damaged or torn, no need to iron.

How much fabric is needed? 6-8 pieces work best, in the cases of new born/premature additional pieces will be required, this can be discussed. If you wish to only incorporate one garment, this is no problem as I can use a contrasting fabric. I can make one keepsake from one adult piece of clothing, top or trousers.

How does it work? My address will be sent to you via email once payment is made. You then need to package your clothes along with a note of your name or order number so I know it’s yours and post to me. I will send you a message once I’ve received your order, then once again with a picture when I’ve made your keepsake before I post back to you.

What’s the personalisation? You can choose to add personalisation to all keepsakes. This will be done by machine embroidery, I choose a colour that complements your keepsake, but if you require a certain colour, that’s no problem! Please check all spellings and punctuation on your personalisation, as I will embroider exactly what is written. Personalisation on the cat is done on the body side towards the back.

Check out my add ons that can be added onto certain keepsakes such as graduation caps, glasses, wings or you can find dust bags to store your keepsake in.

Please note that whilst these keepsakes may be attractive to children, they are NOT toys, they are ornaments. They cannot be CE tested as they are made from your clothes, therefore testing is not a possibility. They don’t carry the CE mark, it is intended as a keepsake and not for children under the age of 14. They will be stuffed with polyester hollow fibre that conforms to the fire and furnishings (fire) (safety) regulations 1988. I use toy safety eyes and nose is hand embroidered. 

This cat is made using the funky friends factory patterns.
