Let customers speak for us
Went beyond my expectations. The bears were so cute and how the flannel was matched was outstanding. Once I found the dress shirts, I knew I had to do the bunnies. My grandsons loved getting part of their grandfather in the bunny. It is a cherished keepsake that will keep his memory alive in our hearts.
I just love the bear.
You did a fantastic job.
You even cut his shirt so the pocket was there and them embroidery is perfect.
Thank you so much.
I decided to try bunnies with my moms shirts. I was surprised that they could mix shirts as on my bitty bears I went with the one shirt only. They turned out so cute! I also was able to tell them I wanted the eyes open and if I wanted ears up or down. I can’t wait to see my next four!
I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with the two bereavement bears that were made by The Patchwork Bears. My daughter and I sent very detailed instructions about the use of the clothes we sent (which were limited) and they absolutely designed them better than we could have imagined. I would recommend this company to anyone who ask. Thank you so much Patchwork Bears. This is a keepsake we will never forget.
I ordered bride and groom wedding dress bears for my granddaughter and they are absolutely gorgeous! They were beyond my expectations and even more beautiful than I imagined. Everyone at this company was wonderful to work with from start to finish. They incorporated every intricate detail of my wedding dress onto both bears. The bride's back and veil matched my wedding dress perfectly. Someone was in contact with me every step of the way. They even sent a picture when I mentioned that I couldn't wait to see the bears. I love them and my daughter and granddaughter were so excited when they saw them. They are going to be a wonderful remembrance for my granddaughter. Thank you so much for making these beautiful bears!
You did a wonderful job. Love, love, love little purple bear. My girlfriends little granddaughter will love this bear.
The transformation from dress to quilt is stunning and perfectly done! I am in love with the final product! The care and precision taken is remarkable and makes the keepsake so much better than just preserving it. Thank you for this glorious treasure you made!

Love our bear! We sent blankets from our dog who passed away and it came just as pictured! We love it! Thank you Patchwork Bear
This is my second best from the patchwork bear and both beats have turned out perfect. I love them both.
I am over then moon happy with my Patchwork Bear!! The fact that it’s made from ties my Daddy use to wear is amazing!! I also appreciate being able to customize the bear which made me feel like a part of the process. My bear is so beautifully and artfully made, a friend suggested I place it in a glass case. I am so happy and grateful for the care that was taken in making my bear. I wish I could hug the person who made my bear. I’ve been in a constant state of sadness and getting my bear has totally lifted my spirits!! I absolutely love this bear ❤️
I ordered 3 bears with clothes that were my Mom’s who passed away in January! Two of the bears were made out of the pajamas she wore in her final days and one ( that was for my son - his mama) was the outfit she wore to his wedding! She will be missed dearly but the bears bring back memories of her daily!
I’m blown away! The TWA bear you made from my aunt’s TWA uniform scarves is absolutely gorgeous! I’m so grateful to you and your team!
The bear is a treasure!
