The Heart and Hands behind each Keepsake

Today, Sarah lovingly handcrafts each piece in her home studio, transforming cherished garments into custom memory animals, pillows, and embroidered gifts. Each keepsake is thoughtfully made with care, compassion, and deep respect for the stories woven into every fabric.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, honoring a loved one, or simply holding onto a meaningful moment, Sew What Buttercup is here to turn your clothing into heartfelt, handcrafted keepsakes that bring comfort for years to come.
