Adorable Bear!!

The patchwork bear made such a cute bear for my 1 year old soon out of his coming home outfit and hospital swaddles. Such a great wear to use these pieces that otherwise would just be stored away. Great customer service and quick turnaround. So happy with the result!!

I made two bears from my husbands shirts. They came out wonderful and what a great memory of Papa for the grandkids. They couldnt have been cuter.

Even better than my high expectations

My daughter and I ordered this for Mother's Day and there was extra fabric so we had a second bear made at a discount and we cannot wait until Mother's Day. I am horrible at picking gifts but I know that this year I will win at mothers day. Ok fine, my daughter and i will win :)

So Beautiful!!

My bereavement bear is so beautiful -- when I opened the box and took it out, I immediately sat down with it in my arms hugging it and crying. It is a big comfort to me. I sleep with it and recently took the bear which is made from my hubby's T-shirts on a trip with me. I went somewhere he and I used to always go, and I was apprehensive about going without Larry. But "Larry Bear" was there with me and took that apprehension away. Thank You Patchwork Bear. Your workmanship is exquisite!! I will recommend you highly to all my friends.

A beautiful way to honor someone!

Over the moon in love with the memory pillow I ordered for my husband, in honor of my sweet MIL. This will be given to him as a gift as we celebrate the first Mother's Day this year without her. A such a beautiful way to honor someone who is no longer with us. I will definitely be ordering again.

Beyond my expectations!

Just received my two memory bears and they are more than I expected. The work is absolutely beautiful. I asked for a deadline of May 4th and received them 12 days early. So excited to give these as gifts.

Stuffed teddy

Excellent experience, my daughter just loved this keepsake

Highly recommend

The first thing I saw when I entered my moms house after she passed away, was the last nurses scrub jacket she ever wore. I wanted to make it a keepsake and a Patchwork Bear was how I decided to do it. The Bear came out better than I could have ever hoped. Communication was on point and shipping was quick and care was put into packaging.

I just love it. It means so much to me. My grandson passed away when he was 27 years old and you did such a good job. I will be getting another one.

Hearts

I ordered three hearts made with my mom’s blazer jacket. They came out perfect. I have them hanging in various places in my house. I’m so happy I got these done. They came out great. I definitely would recommend doing this with your loved ones clothing.

Quality work
Excellent turn around time
I like the option of a less expensive bear with one fabric
I would refer to friends

Very satisfied with the patchwork bear. Simple ordering process

Very pleased with the quality of my memory bunny

Transformed my daughters clothes from her first year into the cutest bunny and a beautiful quilt. The best way to recycle those beautiful clothes that I couldn’t part with!

Amazing keepsake!

A dearly loved grandfather's shirt was used to make a keepsake bear for a great grandson to be born soon. Such a wonderful way to connect generations in a family. Many thanks to the person(s) that sewed our bear!

Memory Bear Review

I couldn't be happier with my recent purchase of an original memory bear. My sister had two of these made for me/my children with the dress my late mother wore to my own wedding. I used the remainder of the dress to have a bear made for my sister's first child; the care and quality work of the Patchwork Bear team in creating this keepsake for our family was second to none. The order process was seamless and I received my order within the timeline communicated to me at purchase date. I highly recommend The Patchwork Bear and will continue to tell anyone who will listen!

Absolutely perfect

The bear is very well made. The correspondence from the company was great - they kept me informed of the status. I had some special requests and they were all honored. I'm so very, very pleased with this and would highly recommend The Patchwork bear hands down! Thanks for the most memorable keepsake ever.
