The stocking is made by sewing a high quality lightweight bamboo wadding to the back of your baby clothes patchwork. A 100% cotton is used to line it. Bamboo is known for its anti-bacterial properties making it the perfect choice to keep your memories safe forever.

Due to the shape of the stockings there is not muh flexiility to move the patces around when they are cut out. I will therefore not send progress pictures for approval like I do with all my other keepsakes. If you have any ideas on how you would like the items using or particular parts of the items to be used, please let me know.

I offer three options for adding a personal touch to your keepsake stocking. The choice will depend on the clothes you provide, but I’ll discuss the best option with you as I work on it.

• Embroidered Name – This can be stitched in a range of thread colours. We can decide on the best shade together, or you can leave it to me to choose what works best.

• Appliqué Name – This is created using the clothing you send. A contrasting fabric to the cuff works best for a clear and stylish finish.

• Embroidered Gift Tag - Perfect if the cuff has more detail or frills on it and if you would like the option of moving it onto other gifts.

Please only place your order if you are in the postion to post your items within two weeks. It really helps me offer accurate turnaround times. If this is a gift a Gift Voucher might be a better idea.

I will pick up and drop off your order if you live in the Grantham, Lincolnshire for no additional cost (please message me for a free delivery code). However, if you are a bit further afield you will need to send your items to me. Please include your email address with your order in the notes and I will send you a form to complete along with my address for you to send the items to.

As your cushion is irreplaceable I will return it to you Royal Mail Special Delivery if it is under 2kg when finished or tracked and signed for courier if it is over 2kg. I would suggest you also use a tracked and signed for service. Make sure you include your name and address when you send your parcel, so I know who they belong to when they arrive.

I will endeavour to complete your stocking as soon as possible and aim for a 4 week turn around once I receive your items however, please allow up to 6-8 weeks during busy periods like Christmas. If your keepsake is needed by a particular time, let me know and I will do my best to get it completed in time.

By completing this order you confirm that you have read and agreed to the additional information and disclaimer.

Please let me know if you would not like your quilt shared on my social media accounts.

All items will be hand cut into equal squares to create your perfect patchwork. I will use my creative skills to ensure all the items are used in the best way possible and include any special features or fine details on the items you provide. If you do have any ideas on how you would like your cushion designing, please let me know.

I will endeavour to incorporate all of your provided clothing, however if you have included more than the suggested number of items I will do my best to include them all. Please just let me know if you wish any to be used as a priority. If on the other hand you do not have enough items for the size you would like, I will make it as large as possible. It may still be possible if the items you have included are from an older child or adults.

Should you wish any scrap clothing items to be returned, please state this in your notes on your order. I will return any unused items along with your cushion. I will dispose of any leftovers after 3 weeks of you receiving your quilt unless you request otherwise.

It goes without saying - but please only send clean clothes, although stains are expected, and I’ll do my best to avoid them. Your quilt can be washed on a gentle 30-degree wash or as per your most delicate baby item. It may shrink down a little once washed but this adds to the charm.

It is recommended that quilts and cushions should not be used in the cot for babies under 1-year-old. The care label sewn inside states that it is not suitable for under 12 months for this reason. If the items you provide contain buttons, beads or fastenings these may be used in your quilt but may cause a choking hazard for young children. If you would like these removed, please let me know.

Thank you for your interest and trusting me with your treasured items, I will treat them like they are my own little man’s.

Due to the personalised nature of the keepsakes, I am unable to accept returns or offer refunds.

If you wish to cancel your order, you can do so within 14 days of your order, providing work on your keepsake has not already started. If you have already posted your items, you will be responsible for the return delivery cost.

Your keepsake is safe to be washed at a gentle 30 degrees or as per your most delicate item in the quilt. Do not tumble dry.

There will be some shrinkage once washed but that adds to the charm of the quilt.
