Personalised keepsakes handmade for you by Holly
Welcome to Holly Edwards Textiles where every keepsake is lovingly handcrafted, made to order with exceptional attention to detail and quality.
Textiles have always been a central part of Holly’s life.
With over 15 years of experience, she has honed her craft to create beautiful, meaningful keepsakes that are treasured by people all over the world. From her iconic handmade birthday badges to heartfelt memory items created from loved ones’ clothing, each piece tells a unique story.
In addition to creating keepsakes, Holly shares her passion and skills through workshops for adults and children of all abilities. After completing her degree in textiles in Cardiff in 2017, Holly returned to her hometown of Weston-super-Mare, where she now runs her creative workshop. Here, she invites you to spend a few inspiring hours learning new skills in a welcoming, seaside setting.
Celebrate life’s milestones with a handmade badge tailored just for you. Each one is designed to your specifications, making them perfect for memory boxes and keepsake collections. You’ll love browsing through the archive of past creations, featuring a variety of colours, themes, and designs. Holly also offers crowns and cake toppers, which can complement your badge or serve as standalone keepsakes.
Holly crafts memory bears and other keepsakes using your sentimental clothing — from baby grows and school uniforms to shirts, ties, and coats. Whether it’s a single special garment or a mix of cherished items, these keepsakes bring lasting comfort and turn stored-away clothing into beautiful items to display and treasure. Choose from two bear styles, various sizes, and even the option to have your bear weighted to your baby’s birth weight. Quilts and cushions are also available. If you’re local, you can drop off clothing and chat with Holly at her Weston-super-Mare workshop. If you're further away, posting your items is simple — Holly will guide you through the process when you get in touch.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your sewing skills, Holly offers workshops tailored to suit your pace and ability. One-on-one sessions are her specialty, but you can also book group workshops for up to six people in her creative space. Holly also hosts sewing parties, a few joyful hours of making and creating with friends. Throughout the year, you’ll also find her running workshops at various venues across North Somerset. Follow her on social media for updates and availability.
