Let customers speak for us
The Patchwork Bear that was created from my (now 26-year-old) son’s baby blanket was perfection. And to top it off, the baby blanket had originally been made by my late grandmother five years before my son was born. I cannot thank you enough for helping bring back so many memories for us. Happy tears were shed by all.
I lost my dad 10-2-24 , I immediately found this website and made my bear. It came out amazing! Such a precious thing to have of my dad’s . I will forever cherish this.
You can feel the love that went into making them. Can’t wait till they are given at Christmas
Just received my bereavement bear and he is just PERFECT!! He was made out of my wedding dress and the dress I wore to my husband's service. I love you Dale forever and a week!
I was hesitant at first especially because I was ordering four bears at once. But the pictures and the reviews and their response time in answering my questions convinced me to just do it.
I am so glad I took the chance. Now my grandchildren will always have something special from their grandfather. Each will be able to hug one of his favorite and most worn t-shirts.
Great job Jenn and her team. You did amazing! Thank you for the love and skill you put into these bears.
We purchased 3 Bitty Bears for our children. They were made from clothes of their Nanny who recently passed away at 98. The bears are so well made and adorable can't wait to give them as Christmas gifts. Process was so easy will be ordering 3 more!
The bear was beautiful! Best gift ever for my kiddos to have something special of grandpa’s.
Everything was very laid out and easy for the process. My patchwork dog was as good as I could have imagined and the team got all of my requests perfect. Thank you for this memory ❤️
I order a wedding dress quilt and it came out beautiful! I love the way they pieced it together! They did a lovely job taking me wedding dress and turning into a beautiful keepsake.
I LOVE all 5 bears I received today. All unique, but all 5 shirts were used. My siblings and new niece will LOVE them as well! Definitely a memory of my dad FOREVER! I love that 4 of the 5 bears have pockets (not sewn shut), definitely going to use that and place something of my dad inside for myself and my siblings!! Again thank you to everyone that made my bears!! I LOVE every single one!!
I’m considering ordering more animals
These bears are SO VERY SPECIAL. I cannot wait to give as gifts. My son and his dad loved the same sports teams and you captured that in the bear. THANK YOU for caring
The bear is really nice. I love it and so does everyone thank you
My bear came out so beautiful! I am blown away by the quality and skill that was put in to it. I lost my dad two months ago, we were incredibly close and he was my very best friend. There’s been a huge hole in my heart since I lost him and having to part with his clothing was not easy but I am ever so glad I did. I’m looking forward to having additional pieces made.
Truly thank you to all who work tirelessly, I’m sure, on these everyday. You are giving people a beautiful gift to hold on to.
My bear came out so beautiful! I had my uncles shirts just waiting for me to do something with for too many years, I came across the ad for The Patchwork Bear and knew this was what I needed to do! Y’all are so talented! Thank you!!
