I was asked by a friend to make a keepsake cushion for their daughter after she left primary school. She loved it so much, her friend's parents also asked and it grew from there! I love making something that is unique and conjures up so many memories.

This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.

Full description

I take school uniform that is sent to me and make it into bespoke cushion covers to help preserve memories. I usually recommend sending a variety of pieces if possible, with logo and without and then I arrange the pieces to make a unique cushion cover with zip access at the bottom. Once made, I then add a hypoallergenic cushion inset to fit.

Measurements: as each piece is unique, measurements can vary, but the usual size for primary school leavers is 40cm x 40cm.

Wash instructions: the cushion cover is removable and the fabric care is the same as it was when you were washing the uniform. The cushion insert comes with its own care label and should be washed separately.

How do I send you the uniform?

After ordering a custom cushion, I will contact you via email to let you know my address and full details of what to do. I advise you send the items together as a recorded delivery (paid for by you), including your name and address so I can track the order. I will update you once the uniform is received and give you an accurate processing and shipping time. This is usually around 14 days, but can be more or less depending on my work load. I will then package and send your finished cushion via Royal Mail. Any questions or queries you can contact me at any point via email.
