Meaningful Keepsakes Made from Your Sentimental Clothes

We ordered two Bitty Bunnies that incorporated two shirts each and they are absolutely wonderful. Incredibly well made and it's obvious that care was taken to "dress" the bunnies just right. Earlier this year my 92 year old mother-in-law passed unexpectedly. She had eleven grandchildren and twenty great grandchildren. The youngest great was three months old when she passed and her 21st great grandchild was born a week after she passed. Both girls carry part of their great grandma's name in their names. Although neither will remember her, we wanted them to have a special keepsake from a woman who would have adored them. We chose Bitty Bunnies because the girls are still small and they are the perfect size for chubby little hands to hold onto. We absolutely love the bunnies and are so grateful to have something that carries wonderful memories of a special woman.

Such a wonderful way to preserve our toddlers’ first pjs, dresses and onesies (and memories)! We were thrilled with the thoughtfulness and care that was put into the design, and my husband even teared up a little. So glad we had enough material to make the mini bears as well, so my husband and I will have keepsakes along with the kids!

I absolutely love these beautifully crafted, high quality bears. I am planning to gift these to my family as loving reminders of my Dad. The talented team members at Patchwork Bear are truly angels that bring joy to so many.
Thank You So Very Much ❤️

I JUST finished my little bear! He makes me smile. I have sewn and I quilt, but have never before made a bear!
I was SO glad that I opted for purchasing the video, too. It helped so much. I would watch each step, which was very well done, BTW, and then do just that step and then go on to the next.
The iron on pattern was so clear, and well-marked. I loved that each part joined the matching number, and in order of stitching.
VERY well done, all of it! The iron on pattern made working through the steps so much better than just a pattern I would have to cut out without the pattern ironed on. Just made it so straightforward.
I used some favorite, non-directional fabric for this. I was mindful of fabric placement on the pieces so all of the little birds on the fabric showed nicely.
The steps were short and easy and made sense. Thank you for this darling pattern! (I did use some safety eyes that I already had.)

I lost my mother near Mother’s Day
I cleaned out her closet and used her clothes. What an excellent gift to remember your loved one forever. I especially love the poem in the heart!
Hugs are a gift. Thank you for making adorable huggable bears for my family members and myself ❤️

We LOVE our 3 Memory Bears! They came out perfect and will be a lasting memory of our loved one. Thank you for the absolutely great work!!

I really enjoyed making a bear using clothes I embroidered for my daughter when she was a baby/toddler. The instructions and process were mostly easy to follow. I am by no means a sewing machine expert, but the iron-on pattern & numbering system made it relatively easy to assemble with the novice sewing skills I have. I had some trouble with the ears and arms — nothing that was irreversible (or able to be covered up!) I added buttons for the eyes instead of using embroidery thread. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create a keepsake!

These bears are a precious memory for my Mom and I, made from my Dad’s favorite shirts. Thank you for the seamless order process, and taking such good care of our irreplaceable shirts. I highly recommend the Patchwork Bear.

Amazing and beautifully made! It brought tears to my eyes seeing the many adorable outfits our daughters wore as babies. Lovely memories! Thank you!

I looked into this for over a year. I just couldn’t get past the part of of sending off the last piece of clothing I had left and the memories associated with it. Out of the blue I seen the ad again and just pulled the trigger before I backed out again. I’m so glad I did the results were amazing had me in Tears for hours. Now that a couple weeks have gone by I find myself staring at the bear every time I walk by knowing I did the right thing. I can’t recommend PatchworkBear enough!! I will always be grateful!!!

This was my second order from patchwork bears. I originally purchased a bitty bear for each of my kids families, but the grandkids love them so much I had to order more. Two of them are on their way to Poland. It’s a very special way to have my grandchildren remember their grandfather, I can’t thank you enough for the quality work and care that you gave each bear.

When I opened my package of the memory bear and bitty bear made from my mother’s summer robe, they took my breath away. I knew they would be beautiful but I guess pictures just don’t do justice to the true quality of the products you make. The scraps of extra fabric were lovingly folded and wrapped in a plastic bag and it was obvious how much you care about the feelings of the families for whom you create these beautiful memories! Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise with us. I can’t wait to give these gifts to my sister and brother!

My family and I purchased a variety of items from the Patchwork Bear, including the elephant, bear and hearts made of my Dads clothing. With each item we received we were continuously impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The hardest days after losing a loved one are the ones when you feel the absence the most. For us it is so helpful to have these tangible reminders of him! Thank you Jen and The Patchwork Bear for the beautiful reminders!

These bears are a beautiful reminder for my sons of their grandfather. He passed away suddenly last year and I wanted my boys to have something of his to remember him by. 🩵 Thank you to The Patchwork Bear for the sweet keepsakes.

I LOVED this iron on template process!!! Your process made it so much easier to visualize the steps to make a bear. I paired this with a matching baby quilt for my colleague's baby shower. She loved it!
