Great quality!

We got two bears for our kids, made out of their grandfathers shirts as we lost him last year. It's a wonderful keepsake- the bears are soft, well made, and look adorable. Thank you for offering a place for celebrating and healing.

My Sweet Teddy Bear

I cried when I opened the box because my teddy bear is so precious to me. It is made from one of my late husband's favorite shirts. I feel like I'm hugging him when I hug the teddy bear. Absolutely worth every penny!

Memory Bear made from one shirt

I had this done for my daughter for Christmas from my mother’s top. She wore this one of the last times that she was able to hold her great grandson. Can’t explain how special this really is. They did such a wonderful job on this!! Very pleased!!

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!

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.
