Kildare native Anita Gannon crafts clothing a deceased loved one once wore into Remembrance Teddy Bears.
Ms Gannon believes creating keepsakes out of a loved one's clothing is a comfort to those in grief and a good way to remember happy moments of their life.

Ms Gannon of Thecraftystitch.com advises people to "choose a couple of garments that mean something to you ... that when you look at it, you smell it, you feel the person. The memory of the occasion and that person is brought back in that bear."
