Description

“BEAR HUGS” for all occasions–FOR COMFORT/MEMORY (the passing of a loved one). FOR CELEBRATION (Graduation, Sport’s memory, e.g. baseball, basketball, golf, etc. using team logo shirts). FOR HOLIDAY (Birthday, Christmas, Christening, Mother’s & Father’s Day). Bear hugs are uniquely crafted from your clothing or clothing of loved ones. The bears pictured are samples that are not for sale. Many of these bears have been made to honor a family member or friend who has passed. The bears are cutest when constructed from 2 articles of clothing. The paws can be made from the clothing sent to me or I can add felt or fleece. If you choose, I can hand embroider a name and/or date on the paw ($5 for name; $10 name & date). Add a vest for an additional $10 and/or a color & button strip for $10.

Each bear measures 21″ standing or 15″ sitting. Baby Bears are cutest when made for 2-3 onesie, sleeper or outfits. Be assured the articles of clothing you provide will be handled with the utmost care. I’m honored to create a “Bear Hug” as a memento. Each bear comes with a tag sewn into the body of the bear & a card to explain the “Bear Hug.”

    Fishing Bear

    It is a real pleasure to give a review for Nancy Pew and Church Mouse Creations. I have had the opportunity to work with Nancy twice in the past 3 years. The first time was after my dad passed, which I can honestly say was the hardest time in my life. Nancy made nine bears and two pillows for me out of my dad’s clothes. She made the process of figuring out which clothing to use for which bear, so easy. She has the eye to make the bears come to life, each with their own personality. She does such a beautiful and quality job on everything she makes. She does not skimp on anything, and her prices are worth it! When my cousin’s husband passed, she wanted to have bears made for her kids and grandkids.
    Even though she lives in a different sate, she knew she wanted Nancy to make the bears because of her quality. If you are looking for someone to make bears from a loved one’s closing, look no further, Nancy is your gal!! ~Shirley

    I have lost count of the number of Memory Bears this precious lady has made for me. You will never ever be disappointed what your Bear will turn out like if you give this lady a chance. The Bear pictured is one with my daddy‘s clothes and she made him a vest like he use to always wear; yes I cried when I opened the package. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ~ Debbie

    Nancy is an artist with a compassionate heart

    Nancy is an artist with a compassionate heart and it is evident in her Bear Hug creations! She used fabric, buttons, lapels, pockets and patches from my husband’s uniforms to create adorable and lovable memory bears for my grandchildren. They hug their bears often and love to talk about “Gramps” when they do! She blessed our family in a priceless way using her artistic gifts! ~ Martha

    I was so excited to find Nancy making bears out of shirts.

    My husband passed away suddenly, and I wanted to give my family something to always remember him. She was more than willing to help me out with all of my silly requests. I found some of his shirts in the colors they liked, or I knew it would be a shirt that had a special memory. They all were so excited when I surprised them with theirs. I still hug mine at night, and we have some really great conservations. My bear has helped me when I have been at my lowest, and cheers me on as I grow.
    Thank you so much for our wonderful bears, they are a treasure to this family. ~ Vickie

    Keepsakes

    When my husband Chris passed away several years ago, I asked Nancy if she would help me create bear keepsakes out of his favorite shirts for our children so they would always have a part of their Dad with them. The kids each picked out their favorite shirt and Nancy made them into the most wonderful keepsake bears. I was so impressed with the details she added and the quality of the workmanship. They have become treasured mementos for our family. ~ Diane
