Kids grow up way too quickly. Before you know it, they’ve outgrown all their baby clothes. A patchwork memory blanket is a great way to repurpose all the old fabric and turn it into a unique and personalised memento, but most of us don’t have the time to make one for our precious little ones.

Patchy Factory does the work for you. Simply mail them about 30 items of clothing and they’ll stitch together a standard sized patchwork blanket (170cm by 125cm) for $168, complemented with their own fabrics. Unused clothing will be mailed back to you. Alternatively, you can arrange to drop the clothing off at the owners’ home. Just e-mail them at patchyfactory@gmail.com for more information.

See how they assemble old scraps of cloth into a beautiful blanket here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbImk7oSFTs.
