Bitty Bear
- Description
- How it works
It's a smaller version of our much loved Patchwork Memory Bear!
Measuring just 11 inches (vs 17 inches for the Original Memory Bear) this cutie has a soft minky nose, embroidered eyes and perfectly sized to tote around.
Due to the smaller size of this bear, we do not recommend using clothes with graphics since they will be cut too small and be unreadable. Personalization or add-ons not available on this item.
We use only one article of clothing for your bitty bear but can incorporate more than one for orders of 2 or more bears if requested.
If you have clothes with graphics like t-shirts, please order the ORIGINAL MEMORY BEAR

The Patchwork Bear team did an amazing job communicating with me about my order before I placed it, during the time the items were made, and during shipping and receipt. They took great care to make sure the bears were sent to me in time for my dad’s celebration of life ceremony, even though it was a little sooner than their estimated production timeframe.
The Bitty Bears are made with some of my Dad’s ties and came out beautifully. The company also returned the unused material, as I requested. I may decide to order more so this was much appreciated. The Bitty Bears are a great size to keep as a memento.
I’m so grateful for this wonderful service offered to provide a meaningful yet simple way to remember our loved ones.
My dad passed away in September and I had heard of you guys so I decided to have you guys make a bear with two of his shirts that he always wore. My bear is absolutely perfect and I just cried when I saw it. Thank you for making such a special keepsake.
We purchased 3 Bitty Bears for our children. They were made from clothes of their Nanny who recently passed away at 98. The bears are so well made and adorable can't wait to give them as Christmas gifts. Process was so easy will be ordering 3 more!
These Bears are beautiful! I have ordered several and these are from my latest order. I love the quality of the bears. Each one is special.
Loved it all
After months of searching, I finally found the perfect gifts for my twin daughters' birthday: your Bitty Bears and Memory Hearts. Your team's patience and responsiveness made the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. I love that there is an option to send back any unused material! The superior quality and coordinated designs of the 2 Bitty Bears and 4 Memory Hearts I ordered exceeded my expectations!!!! I added my dad's IBEW pin onto each bear's faux pocket for an extra special touch. My daughters adore them and keep them in their college rooms as a loving reminder of their beloved grampy.
Overwhelmed would be an understatement Jen and her team at The Patchwork Bear did an incredible job at making these memorial bears.
The sweater was from the first time my grandmother met Willow, their time was short lived but Willow will always have something to remember her by. 🌿💙
The bears were done beautifully. They are an exact replica of what is shown just with my memory clothes. I am impressed with the quality of sewing and attention to detail. We will enjoy them.
