School Uniform Keepsake Cushions
Finishing a school year & leaving a school is a huge milestone for children (let alone their parents!) so turning old uniform into a patchwork cushion will create the most precious keepsake to keep hold of those memories for a lifetime.
We require 5-8 items of clothing to create a beautiful keepsake cushion, these can be polo tops, shirts, jumpers, cardigans, dresses, skirts, trousers, PE Kit etc.
Cushions measure approximately 50cm x 50cm. The back of the cushion is covered with snuggly fleece, we have four colours to choose from – baby pink, baby blue, white or grey.
The cushion covers are detachable and can be machine washed on a delicate wash 30-40 degrees. Please do not tumble dry.
Our keepsake cushions measure approximately 50x50cm

Delivery
We post all of our items via Royal Mail Signed for service. If you require a different service please contact us and we can try and arrange this for you.
If you have sent more items than asked for and your parcel weighs over 2 kilos, you will be required to pay the additional postage cost to have your items returned to you.
If you choose our Express Service, this will guarantee your product to be made and delivered within our 3-week time frame (4 weeks if a large keepsake blanket).
If you are going away please let us know as we will not dispatch your keepsake until you have returned. If parcels are not collected from your local delivery office after approximately three weeks, the post office return them to us. We will charge the shipping cost again to re-send your items.
The most common items of clothing we use are babygrows, tops, vests, dresses, rompers and jumpers. Cotton based clothing is the best material to work with, however we can use other materials too. The only items we do not recommend sending are knitted items, hard denim or zips.
We can use almost any size of clothing, ’tiny baby (7lbs)’ being the smallest. If you would like to include premature sizes, these would only be able to be sewn on top of blankets as whole outfits (see our additional extras for more information)
Standard size blanket (70x90cm)
We require 20 items of clothing for the standard size blanket however we can use a minimum of 15 (size 0-6+ months clothing). You can send up to 30 items of clothing if you would like each patch to be different however there is an additional £5 charge for more than 20 items due to the extra work involved. For this option items must fit within a 5″x6″ patch for it to work.
Cot sized blanket (110x140cm)
We require 50 items of clothing for the cot size blanket however we can use a minimum of 35 (size 0-6+ months clothing). You can send up to 70 items of clothing if you would like each patch to be different however there is an additional £10 charge for more than 50 items due to the extra work involved.
If more items are sent than requested, there will be an additional postage cost to return these items if you do not want them included within the blanket.
There is not a time limit to send your items in to us, once you have collected your most memorable pieces of clothing just send them in along with a message to let us know they are on their way.
Standard blanket
This blanket has two layers of fleece, one plain and one dimple print. This makes the blanket very versatile, not too thick and not too thin. They are perfect to snuggle into!
Cot blanket
This blanket has one layer of plain coloured soft fleece. This ensures that the blanket will not be too heavy. The large size blankets do not come with a border around the edge.
An additional extra is an item that is either too small to be included as patchwork, or an item you would like to be sewn on top of the patchwork.
Items include hats, socks, bibs, mitts, comforters, whole outfits, pants, personalised patch, individual letters, hoods from baby grows, sock ons, rattle socks, baby grow feet and more. Please look at our ‘additional extras’ below to see the individual prices.
More than 20 items on a standard blanket £5
More than 50 items on a cot blanket £10
Please see ‘How many items of clothing should I send for my blanket?’ FAQ for more details on this.
The most important parts of the clothing you send is used on your blanket, this includes logos, text, collars (if they are not too hard), patterns etc.
The left-over bits of material will not be kept unless you have requested to have it returned back to you. Please let us know when we receive your items if you would like any material returned with your product.
If there are any items that have not been cut due to them not being the correct material, these will be sent back with the finished product.
If more than 20 items have been sent by the customer & not used within the blanket there may be an additional postage charge to pay to have these returned. (usually more than 3 items will incur an additional postage charge)
It is extremely important to include your name and email address inside your parcel, without this information we will not be able to identify who’s items we have received.
Please include a note of any particular ‘favourites’ you would definitely like included within your blanket or if you have any specific requests about any of the outfits & also if there are any additional extras you would like to include i.e. embroidered patch, hat etc.
If requests are not made, we will use our own discretionary to create your product.
