What happened to it? / I want one made from someone's clothes

Memory bears made from someone's clothes

This is a making job rather than a repair, and it is a different set of people. The thing worth asking before you post anything is what happens to the fabric that is left over, because most of it will not be used and it is usually irreplaceable.

Who takes this kind of work

70 of the 77 repairers we hold could take this on. 7 could not, and they are further down with the reason. These three fit best; the rest are listed underneath them.

Same checks, lower down the order. Where they are and how you hand it over matter more than our ordering does, so both are here.

Who we ruled out for this, and why

7 of the 77 are listed on this site and are deliberately not above. Ruling somebody out is a claim, so here is each one with the reason, and you can disagree with it.

    House of Play Europe · MDS Leisure · Soft Play Maintenance · MB Events Soft Play Repairs · Indoor Soft Play Repairs · Sensory Servicing

Questions people ask

How many repairers can make a memory bear from clothing?
70 of the 77 we hold in the United Kingdom could take this on, and 7 could not. Every one of them is named on this page, including the ones we ruled out and why. Across both countries we have read 185 businesses in total, so if you have seen a bigger number quoted somewhere, that is the one.
What does it cost?
Relining and reconstruction: £35-£400, from 6 published prices. All read from repairers' own public pages in August 2026, across 70 individual prices from 8 businesses. Most of this trade publishes nothing at all.
Will they insure it while they have it?
Almost certainly they have not said. Of every repairer we have read in both countries, two have written anything down about losing or damaging an item. Nobody has been asked the question directly, including by us. Ask before you send anything you could not replace, and get the answer in writing.
