THE PATCHWORK BEAR DIFFERENCE
When it comes to something this personal, experience matters.
You only get one chance to preserve those memories — make sure it’s done right the first time.
Take it from our customer, Shackty V.
“I made the mistake of ordering from another company — their job was terrible. I reached out to Jennifer at The Patchwork Bear, and she and her team took on the challenge of remaking them. Their work is impeccable. I regret not ordering from them the second time!”
We carefully disassembled Shackty’s poorly made bears and salvaged the fabric to create 15 beautiful Bitty Bears.
"The bears came absolutely beautiful, I can't thank them enough for saving the pieces of my loved one. ❤️ I highly recommend the Patchwork Bear "
- Shackty V.
Our Prices Reflect Our Quality
We believe transparency matters. Here’s where your investment goes:
✅ Professional Studio: We are a full-service, professional keepsake company, not a home business. This comes with the expenses of running a business: rent, utilities, and upkeep for a dedicated sewing workspace.
✅ Dedicated Facility to Receive Your Clothes: We take on the additional cost to receive your packages where there are signed for and kept in a secure, indoor facility, never left outdoors
✅ Training and Fair Wages: We train and provide competitive pay for our skilled designers and sewists. Our talented team is invested in saving your memories.
✅ Materials: Premium stuffing & thread, professional embroidery, quality interfacing, and packaging supplies
✅ Equipment & Maintenance: Industrial sewing machines, professional embroidery machines, tools, and repairs
✅ Small Business Operations: Customer service, marketing, design software, education & all the little things that keep a small business running. You’ll receive updates when we receive your clothes and when your bear ships. Each order is packaged with care, securely and shipped with UPS tracking
These real costs reflect the value of a professionally made, heirloom-quality keepsake, not a hobby craft.
MADE WITH LOVE AND CARE
Every order is treated with the care and communication you’d expect from a professional & trusted studio.
We want you to have a memory bear that is as unique as the person whose clothes it's made out of. We're proud the products we make and the memories we help you save.
Each bear is truly one-of-a-kind, honoring your loved one’s story with the craftsmanship and care that set The Patchwork Bear apart.
PLEASE NOTE
As of October 2025, we can no longer remake memory bears made by others.
It's just too labor-intensive to take apart a sewn bear AND too difficult to work with the cut up clothes. Please, start with us first and have your bear made right the first time. I promise, you'll love it❤️
