Welcome to Sam's House
where I share my love of sewing and creating bespoke gifts and treasures for you.
A keepsake is an item of sentimental value; a token for yourself or another person to celebrate and remember special times and precious people.
Created from favourite clothes, I can transform your pieces in a number of different ways. Whether you are keeping memories of loved ones lost, children's milestones or wedding days and family celebrations, a Sam's House Keepsake will be treasured for years to come.

Memory Bears, Bunnies and cats are created from your cherished clothes and come in two sizes: small approx 23cm and large,approx 30cm. I can use almost any type of clothing and will always try to include any details in your bear (a label or logo) if you wish.
If you are using baby clothes I would suggest a minimum of 6 pieces but adult clothes need only one. The more items you choose the more contrasting your animal will be.

Memory Cushions use favourite shirts, jumpers etc to create a soft and huggable keepsake. These are approximately 45cm square but are obviously dependant on the size of clothing.

Patchwork Blankets are a lovely way to create a lasting keepsake from lots of clothing. Well worn and loved clothes provide the perfect soft tactile medium for snuggly blankets, which I back with lightweight fleece.Your blanket's size will be dependent on your quantity of clothes and how we decide to use them. They are sized as small (35 squares approx 90cm x 66cm) medium (48 squares approx 150cm x 130cm) and large which is completely made to your size requirements.

Patchwork Cushions are made in a double sided 9 square pattern and measure approx 45cm .

Gift Cards are the perfect solution for the perfect gift. Printed and personalised just for you, to a value of your choice.

I am always open to any ideas you may have and happy to chat about them with you; please do get in touch via the contacts page.

"Beautifully made bear made from your something special, made with love! I cannot recommend this lady highly enough."
