Hi friends 🤍 I’m so glad you’re here. I’m CatLou, and this little space means so much to me.
My love for sewing started years ago, sitting beside my grandmother as she worked on her old treadle machine. Those moments with her are some of my most treasured memories—and they’re a big part of why I do what I do today.
I spent 12 years running an alterations shop, but over time, I felt pulled toward something more meaningful… something from the heart.
Now, I take clothing that holds special memories and turn it into memory bears, quilts, and pillows—pieces you can hug, hold, and keep close. There is nothing more special to me than seeing someone reconnect with a loved one through something I’ve created.
Every stitch I sew carries a story, and it truly means the world to me to be trusted with yours 🤍
Custom Orders
-
Every piece I create is made with care, intention, and a love for preserving memories. I am honored to work with clients who want something truly special made from meaningful fabrics and garments.
-
Custom orders allow you to turn treasured clothing or fabrics into beautiful keepsakes such as memory bears, quilts, baby quilts, and other handmade pieces. These items often come from clothing that holds deep sentimental value—shirts from a loved one, baby clothes, uniforms, or special garments connected to important moments in life.
-
When you place a custom order, we will begin with a simple conversation. I will listen to your ideas, discuss the fabrics you would like to use, and help guide you through the process. My goal is to create something that reflects your vision while honoring the memories connected to the materials.
-
Because each piece is handmade and unique, time and attention are given to every detail. Custom orders are completed in the order they are received to ensure each project receives the care it deserves.
