How many clothes can you use in one Memory Bear?

November 25, 2019By Jennifer Cura

We get this questions often. We can use from one, two, three.. or up to 6 different articles of clothing in one Bear. The most important thing is to send what is special to you and brings back the best memories!

Everyone is different and have different clothes they would like saved. In general, we try to use ALL the clothes sent to us- unless specifically requested. With that in mind, it's helpful to pin notes on your clothes with specific requests like: definitely use this, use this logo, use as much of this as possible, only use if needed, etc. We also love reading what memories you made in these clothes- so include a personal note if you feel so inclined.

You have the option to have unused clothes and scraps sent back with the finished keepsake at no charge under 3lbs. With that in mind please limit the amount of clothing you send to save on shipping costs. Memory Bears are approximately 17 inches tall so we don't need a whole box of clothing sent to us for just one bear. If you have too many clothes, why not order multiple bears? Contact us for discounts of 3 or more bears.

Some ideas: one bear with one theme: baby’s first year, team jerseys.. or one bear from different people/generations or all of your favorite clothes. So many possibilities! Can't wait to see what you send us!

Just wow

I actually am having trouble coming up with the words to describe how happy I am with my order. I was so nervous to send my late mother's clothing out to some strangers to cut them up and make things. I'm so glad I did. Firstly, the Patchwork Team handled everything with cate and respect. They answered all questions I had prior to the order, let me know when they received the clothing so I knew it was safe, had my order weeks before I expected, and despite me not making the deadline for a christmas delivery, STILL had them to me the week before. I gave some special requests and everything came out just beautifully. Thank you. I really cherish these. You used a talent of yours to bring love and joy into the world. Thank you. I'm copying this into all the products i purchased. I bought a lot! 1 bunny, 3 bitty bears, 4 hearts, and 4 birds.

Love the bears

I ordered 3 bears with six items of my husband’s most often worn clothes. I asked for bits of each item to be on each bear and for the logos to be shown wherever possible. The bears were made perfectly as requested. I love my bear and my two adult children love theirs as well. It’s a fabulous way to have their dad around all of the time. The quality is great; I can tell that these will be forever keepsakes. Thank you for creating such an important and special product!

Wedding Keepsake Bears

I made the decision to have my wedding gown made into three keepsake bears for my children. I read the many wonderful reviews from customers who have used The Parchwork Bear and I entrusted them to make these very special gifts and I was not disappointed. The attention to detail and even the care used to take my order confirmed that I had made the right choice. I gifted the bears to my children Christmas morning and they loved the gift. I wasn’t quite sure that as teens they would appreciate the bears but they did and I thought my heart would burst to see how much they loved them. Thank you for creating such a special memory for me and my children.

My Memory Bear

This was a Memory Bear of my Father who recently passed away… I used his Detroit Lions Sleepwear so it’s really oft and every time I look at I will think of my Dad rooting for his favorite team!
I love it

My Mother's Memory Bear

My Mother passed away in September of this year and had a collection of jean jackets and holiday shirts. I sent a selection to Patchwork Bear so that they could make myself, my Dad and my 2 siblings Memory Bears and I just received them last week. And words can not express how much I love them. I gave my Dad his this past weekend and he was amazed by them. He put his on their bed so that he has a connection to her all time. Thanks for the wonderful bears. I love them and appreciate your excellent handiwork.

So emotional!

When I opened the box of the beautiful bitty bears and hearts I was so emotional! The quality is perfect and my husband, Greg's shirts were used in ways I couldn't imagine. The gifts are for his daughters and granddaughter. He died unexpectedly in August and our hearts are broken. These gifts are going to make Christmas so special! Thank you for the lovely workmanship and creativity. God bless you. Merry Christmas!
