Beautiful Keepsakes, Handmade with Love

Handmade by Abbi is a range of unique and personal hand-sewn items.

My work is all about creating lovely keepsakes to cherish those special memories or to celebrate upcoming special occasions or anniversaries.

Perfect to give as gifts, each project is unique and therefore there are no real limits to what can be created.

Taggy Blankets for Babies

Ideal as a car seat or buggy blanket which doubles up as some entertainment for your little one thanks to the brightly coloured and textured ribbons. These can be personalised to make an even more unique gift.

Smaller versions are available as pram toys which can hook onto a buggy or car seat.

Baby Clothes Animals

Create your own unique keepsake animals from outgrown but precious baby garments that hold so many memories. These animals can be created from a minimum of 4 to 5 garments (dependent on size) and can be as simple or complicated as you would like, both pattern and colour-wise.

Please note: these animals are designed and made as keepsakes and due to button joints and eyes they are not suitable as toys for small children. If you specifically require one for use as a toy then please discuss with me.

Baby Clothes Blankets

Made from those precious babygros and outgrown items of clothing, these fleece-backed blankets display those lovely memories in a functional format. Sizes will depend on the number of items of clothing that you wish to use.

Personalised / Occasion Cushions

Whatever the occasion, a personalised and / or dated cushion really makes a lovely unique gift. Cushions could also be made from baby clothes or other precious fabric so the possibilities are endless!

School Uniform Animals

These are the same as the baby clothes keepsakes but made from outgrown school uniform. A really special keepsake made from that outgrown jumper or polo shirt from your little one’s first years at school. Outgrown uniform could also be used to make other items such as cushions or blankets (dependent on the quantity of items).

Precious Fabric Creations

All of my products can be created using any precious fabric which you may have. Whether something you have hoarded for years but don’t know what to do with or from a loved one’s clothes, please contact me to discuss your unique project idea.

Acknowledgments: All my teddy bears are made from a pattern by Sew Lovely Keepsakes.

I contacted Abbi to have two bears made from my late father’s shirts which he wore, and most reminded me of him. I wanted something special for my girls to always remind them that their grandad is always with them though not physically, but in this way for years and years to come. Abbi was amazing and I can’t thank her enough, she made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process from handling the precious shirts, and always keeping me informed on the design process. Abbi was so thoughtful when designing the bears and she appreciated how important it is to make sure that the bears are made with so much care and love. She did an amazing job – better than what I could have ever imagined, and quality too. I couldn’t have had anyone better to make these bears for my girls from such precious materials – she even thoughtfully made gorgeous bags from leftover over material to keep them in, which I could not have even thought of myself. Everyone I have shown the bears to are amazed at how lovely they look. Thank you, Abbi; you made my dad’s shirts come to life, and I feel lucky to have them, thanks to you.

“I approached Abbi about making a blanket using my children’s babygrows and I am so very happy with it!

Abbi checked in with me on her progress and sent pictures of possible backings to use, to make sure I was going to be 100% happy with it.

I would highly recommend Abbi – she is very professional, and certainly very skilled. Thank you Abbi!”
