Try taking photos of your memory bears and keepsakes near natural light or with daylight lamps. And to prevent shadows? If you place a big sheet of white card opposite the light source, it will bounce the light. See pic 2 for a photo of my bear photography set up

My Dog sewing pattern's origin story? He was designed to look like my glorious chaos goblin, Miss Callie!

The Darcy Dog pattern is perfect for turning favourite clothes into keepsakes, like these 2 examples made from a school uniform & a Cubs uniform.

If you would love to sew your own Darcy Dog, here's the direct link for the pattern 👉 www.cwtchpatterns.com/product/darcy-dog-sewing-pattern-pdf/

The cub uniform memory dog was sewn by Caroline at www.facebook.com/SewPreci0us, pic shared with permission.
