Meaningful Keepsakes Made from Your Sentimental Clothes

My Grandfather passed away in September 2025 and my mom’s birthday was in the same month. I wanted to get her something special that included the memory of her dad. I knew she was getting a couple of his shirts so I asked for one from my Grandma and while searching online The Patchwork Bear was the first website. I saw the bereavement bear and knew it was perfect! She absolutely LOVED being able to hold and cuddle with something that reminds her of her dad. I also received some keychains made from my Grandpa’s shirt for me and my sisters. I love that I can touch and feel his shirt and carry it with me always.

I'm so pleased with the skill and great care that was used to make this beautiful memory quilt out of some of my mother's shirts. She passed away almost a year ago and I'm grateful to be able to reach for this when the grief feels particularly heavy.

I got two bears made for my daughters who lost their Dad. Such good quality work. I’m so happy with them and I can’t wait to give them for Christmas.

I am so happy with the bear and pillow I had done to preserve my son's memories. Someone who left us too soon, but now will always be around. Thank you! The handcraft workmanship is awesome and the customer service making sure my items arrived in time for the Celebration Of Life was greatly appreciated! Thank you again!

First of all the response was wonderful and the caring of the employees was the best! Now all my of my family has a special item belonging their dad and grandpa! I can now look at those shirts and enjoy the happiness where we were at the time. Thank you so much much!!!!!!

I just received these bears last evening. Unpacking them was a great joy that brought back so many memories. The ladies that made these bears are so creative. You can tell they put in great thought in how they coordinated the clothing I sent. All three bears are so cute and lovable. Very well-made. You will not regret purchasing these bears for your loved one. A huge thank you to all that created these masterpieces

I took my late husband's ties and had a memory bear made for our daughter. Now she will always a piece of her dad with her. The Patchwork Bear Team did a beautiful job!

I received my bear the other day. I cried the minute I opened it up. It was made from my dad’s clothes. I had asked for a few items to be used. Wasn’t sure if they would understand what I was asking or if they would be able to do it. OH MY!! It came out so much better than I even imagined. This is the 2nd bear I have had made. The first was from my mom’s clothes-which came out amazing too! I will definitely recommend your company to everyone I know!!

What a wonderful company to work with. Everything was explained well and progressed just as stated. The bears are so perfectly made. Pawie’s great grandbabies will always have a piece of him!! I definitely recommend The Patchwork Bear Company.

Yes my husband passed away in 2023 he worked for the state of Texas he had received a shirt from them and I wanted to something special for my first great grandchild what better gift then having it made into a memory bear they knocked it out the ball park I highly recommend trusting them with your precious memories you won't regret it

The bear arrived nicely packed. I was so impressed at the professional and thoughtful crafting of the bear. We used a sweater that my mom wore frequently. I gifted it to my sister as she was having a particularly difficult time after loosing our mom. She was thrilled to receive such a thoughtful and lovely gift.

I am so happy with the turn out of my memory bears. I’ve been holding onto the cowboys seater since my grandmother passed more than 15 years ago and I am so happy I did. With my mom passing December of 2024 I just knew I needed to use a piece of her clothing to make one, so I decided to do 2. Both pieces of clothing made such beautiful bears and the team did this with such care and kept me updated along the way! Say Yes to a memory item whether it’s a quilt, bear or any other keepsake they make please do this you will not regret it! 💚

I absolutely love my bear. I sent in my late husband’s favorite shirt and was so happy how all the colors came together. Such a wonderful keepsake.

I can’t tell you how much I love my bear made of clothes from my son’s first years. These were some of my favorite onesies they both wore and I can tell it was made with extreme care and creativity. I teared up when I opened the box!! Thank you so much.

I received the memory bear and it was beyond anything I could have expected. Beautifully crafted handmade memory. It is also amazing that the request I wrote that they put the pocket square so I can place my loved ones memorial card was placed.
