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!
They are beautiful thank you so much...
I will be sending more clothes your way to have more bears made for my children and my nieces and nephew's children who will never know my dad, but will always have something of his to cherish
I love them
Got my bear today that I had made for my first grandchild out of his dad’s clothes. It is amazing! I only had a few requests and they fulfilled them perfectly and the workmanship
And turnaround time were beyond belief!!I am just thrilled and I can’t wait to give it to him and make more for the next grandkids!
They are so adorable, and well made! Sweet embroidered faces, sturdy stitching and nice seams. They have the logos/pockets from the shirts which is so cute. We really appreciated being contacted to order a second bunny with the extra fabric from our loved one so it wouldn’t be wasted! This is such a special way to save their clothing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did making my special bear, using my Dad’s favorite vest. I have him placed beside my memory lamp with my Dad’s picture. This little bear brings me joy.
IThank you for making the most exquisite bear to memorialize my dad, who passed away 4 years ago. I had kept a few items of his clothing that were sentimental to me and now I have them all in a keepsake that I can pass on….so grateful🙏❤️
Got my memory bear this week. Way better than I imagined. Had it made from a jacket/shirt my late mother loved and wore often. It's been hanging in my closet for five years, and frankly, it made me a little sad to see it. But made into a silly bear (and I use that term in the BEST way), it makes me smile. It will reside on a shelf, next to photos of the jacket, and my mom wearing it.
This bear is incredible. My friends named their first son after his late father (baby’s grandpa) so when they found school papers from when he had written his name as a young boy I knew I wanted to incorporate that! Now little Larry will have his grandpa with him whenever and wherever he goes! I wasn’t sure how the logos and wording would fit but you guys made it work - and in such a cool way so that it was easy to recognize these were his old shirts! Thank you so much this is amazing!
I removed the bear from the box and immediately began to cry. It’s so perfect and so beautiful. My son is going to cherish this forever. Thank you for taking such great care and know that I’ve already shared with so many people to boost your business. My sincerest thanks.
I love it!
My Mom recently passed away. She and my daughter were to peas 🫛 in a pod. I saved my mom‘s special spring blazer and her favorite Phillies jersey my daughter bought for her to cheer on her favorite team. They will be gifts to my future grandchildren as a cozy reminder of their Great Grandmother Carol.
Expectations were exceeded! Not only was the bear made with detail and excellence, but the team was responsive & kept me up to date throughout the entire process. An easy process with an excellent final product!
So IMPRESSIVE- I will be recommending The Patchwork Bear to everyone. Took my Nana and Papas clothes and had these made; the love and detail that is in each one covering every inch is absolutely perfect - a true reflection of the skills and passion the staff at patchwork bear have THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️
Turn baby clothes into a memory bear you see every day
Your baby's clothes deserve better than a cardboard box or storage bin.
Remember every milestone—from their first laugh to the day they crawled across the living room floor—when you turn their infant clothes into a special keepsake.
Remember loved ones gone, but not forgotten
We know it's hard to lose a loved one.
When you want a dignified way to remember the last time you saw her in her favorite dress, the t-shirts that were so him, or the uniform they proudly wore to work every day, turn their clothing into a Bereavement Bear.
The Patchwork Bear focuses on careful attention to detail and quality workmanship. You can trust your loved ones clothing with us to turn them into a keepsake you’ll cherish forever.
Remembering your big day forever
Now that the big day is over, don't store your dress in a box! We will repurpose it into a keepsake patchwork bear, quilt, or pillow.
