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

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.
You always do the most amazing work. This bear is so special because the items belonged to my mother who passed a year and half ago. The pieces are from her wedding dress, her bedspread from when I was a child and her most recent night gown. Thank you so much!
I am so happy with my Bitty Bears. I have already ordered four more.
I upgraded from a Bitty Bear to a Simple Memory Bear. This housecoat my mom wore all the time; there were a few small holes and stains. I didn’t want to throw away and I couldn’t donate so I looked at ways to use the housecoat and the Memory Bear was perfect. She lived to be 101 and I know she would have liked it.
