I am beyond pleased with these bears and my experience with The Patchwork Bear! Firstly, I did not get our shirts to them until after Oct 31st and we were told they could not guarantee we would receive our bears before the holidays...we were so surprised when they arrived on Christmas Eve! What a special gift for our family. Thank you to everyone at Patchwork Bear for working on them and getting them out for the holidays!
We gave some suggestions on what cloth to use for what parts of the bear and asked to keep buttons on two of them but still the finished product was a surprise and seeing how well they were crafted was a delight. We especially love the details like the buttons on the Hawaiian shirt bear and the pockets on the other two. Each bear represents a different aspect of my dad and Patchwork Bear did a wonderful job capturing those memories. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the beautiful work on these two beautiful bears! My daughter-in-law lost her Mom to Cancer a year after she became a part of our family. She was her rock and the soul of her family. I only knew her mom a short time but was blessed with her energy and spirit. These bears (one for her sister) will forever be a source of comfort to both the girls. The work you did was incredibly professional and clean. We have decided to have two more made for my grandsons as well!
Highly recommended to all

Such a precious bear and it means so much to my mother in law who lost her only daughter . I’m so thankful I found you guys and I was able to give her something so special . Thank you so much!

I’m so thankful & lucky I found this website from Instagram this is by far the best gift with so many precious memories that I could’ve given to my sisters kids. We lost my sister last year & the hardest part was that we couldn’t be there with her she died alone. So to have her clothing on these bears just makes it a little more easier to feel her close to us.

It came out beautiful. I love it and how you used the cloths to design the bear thank you for a nice memory

The bears are perfect!! Thank you so much!!

The matching Bunny and Bear are better than I imagined. You exceeded my expectations. My husband of 40 years taught Children’s Church each Sunday while wearing brightly colored shirts. I am so glad I saved some shirts for this purpose. Thank you.
Deeann S.

Linda G.
Wonderful experience! The bear came out perfect & something my daughter can have to remember her beloved cat Bella! Extremely happy from start to finish!

It is so beautiful. Its a Christmas gift for my girls.... Its was shirts they bought for their grandfather. I can't wait to see their faces when they open them. Thank you so much...
Stephanie B.
I love the bears! I knew exactly when my order was delivered and I couldn't wait to get home to open the box. I was overjoyed with seeing my mom's items on the bears. I know my family members will love them this Christmas and cherish the memories we have of my mom! Thank you for taking the time to make something that will mean so much to us!
Pamela H.
Wish the pocket was on the left side like most shirts but otherwise it is
great. Can't send a picture until I give it to my granddaughter at Christmas. It was her father's shirts.

This bear has brought me such comfort that it’s too hard to explain. I almost feel like I’m hugging my mom. I remember all of the clothing. Very very special. I am beyond words. Thank you so much for the comfort you’ve given me
Martha S.
I absolutely love the memory bears. They were beyond what I expected. I had a wonderful experience with the company. Jen was amazing & allowed me to make a change last minute. I am over the moon about my bears. Thank you so much!!!
Salvador T.
I was sketchy about sending my brother’s clothes but left to god. That’s my mama carrying her son again this would be a keepsake for her.Thank You
Jan H.
I will send a picture after Christmas because these bears are gifts! I simply LOVE them and I know my mom and sisters will too. We lost our dad last December and with COVID the whole 2020 was difficult. These keepsakes will help all of us hold him close! They are beautifully made and just are so HIM in his plaid shirts! Thank you for providing this wonderful service. I will recommend your company to many!

Patchwork Bear did an amazing job on my memory bear for my beloved twin brother. The stitching is perfect and they sewed it exactly as I requested. I have clung to every item and article of clothing of my brother's and the bear is a great comfort to me.
Sanaa S.
These bears are amazing. They are for my 2 sons ages 41 and 32. The clothes belonged to my husband, their dad, who passed away 23 years ago. We're still mourning his passing. As you probably noticed he worked for the M&M Mars Co. None of us wanted to part with some of his clothes, like patches from his lab coat and product t-shirts. So the bears are a perfect solution. They will be Christmas gifts for the boys. My one and only remark is that the bear on the left. The fatter one doesn't sit by itself. It falls over. I have to lean it against something. Other than that thank you for an amazing product. Well done.
Stacie O.
Better than I would ever had imagined! Beautiful craftsmanship and the choices made with the clothing that I sent were impeccable! I am so happy with this purchase!
Gina W.
My memorial Bear is perfect, I will treasure my Bear forever! Thank you for what you do you have no idea what joy you bring to such a hard time!!

This is the second bear I’ve ordered. Made from school T-shirts and uniforms. It’s the perfect graduation gift!
A memory of lower school, high school or college.
Every time it has exceeded my expectations. The team chooses just the right pieces to use and it’s sewn together beautifully.
It’s a memory keeper for a lifetime.
Kelly S.
He is absolutely perfect! They did such a beautiful job in helping me to commemorate my dad. I would give 10 stars if I could. I can’t thank you guys enough for this!
Solon H.
We had this bear made for our 2nd grandson. We are so happy with the end result. Beautifully made. I am planning on having one made for each grandchild as they come. Thank you so much!
Larissa S.
I absolutely LOVE this bear. It was worth the wait and every single penny. My brother and sister-in-law were astonished at how well it was made, and how amazing our dad's shirts looked. Thank you so much! Now my nephew has something so special to remember that, even though they have never met, his grandpa loves him.
Brenda T.
These are childhood clothes that now I can see and smile about
This is a wonderful way to repurpose clothing and keep memories alive
Jeanne R.
I can’t tell you how wonderful and what a comfort it is to have something of my dads be turned into something tangible and beautiful that we can hold in our time of great grief. The love and care that went into making these is evident and I am so greatful that we were able to have these made. Thank you to Jen and her team for putting these together
Nancy K.
This is my third bear and they never disappoint! The bears always come out even better than I picture. I love this company and their products!
Mackenzie M.
I absolutely love my bear! A job well done. My family all got bears for xmas and it was an overwhelming amount of joy from everyone!
Debbie H.
I love the 2 bears that Patchwork Bear made for me. I had not been able to sit at my machine and make them because of the emotions attached to the clothing. Patchwork Bear provided me with bears that will be cherished forever.
Laura C.
It turned out wonderfully and we know our friend will love it. Thank you!
Megan T.
Like most of you contemplating ordering, I lost someone very special to me. She was also so very special and beloved by her granddaughter. I lost my mom this year, or Mimi. I wanted something so special for my daughter for Christmas, our first Christmas without Mimi. I’m so glad I found you guys. I was worried about sending off some of our very last precious items, but they arrived safely and you all treated them with such care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for bringing a little piece of our Mimi home to us for the holidays. Forever grateful, the Talamantez family.

We love the bear!! It is exactly what we imagined. The bear had almost all the fabrics that we sent and they were put together very carefully. Highly recommended!
Elizabeth C.
Can't wait until my niece gets to hold this! So so awesome!
Deborah Q.
A loving tribute and way to cherish a loved one
Ruth C.
It is better then I could have ever imagined! It’s for my daughters nursery and it has become a focal point of the room. Better then I expected!
Danielle K.
I absolutely love my bear! My father passed away and I wanted something that was made out of the clothes he wore often. I could not be any happier with the finished product. It means a lot to me to see the love that went into making my bear. Thank you!
Martha A.
I couldn't be happier with my memory bear! It really is the perfect keepsake of my dad's favorite flannel and bandanas. I smile every time I see my Ralph E. Bear.
Karen G.
And just like that, this boy has his Oma “grandma” back in his arms!
Donna H.
Excellent work . It is perfect and will be treasured . Thank you so much .
Terri R.
I love the keepsake bears that I had made for me and my sister. They serve as the perfect reminder of our mother, as the bears are made from a sleeping bag she made for us when we were children. There was so much leftover material that I have ordered a bunny, puppy and elephant. I'm anxious to see them :) and I know one day I will look forward to passing them onto my children/grandchildren! I strongly recommend The Patchwork Bear! Their craftsmanship/talent really shines through in the finished product!!
Cyndi C.
I have purchased 3 memory bears for my daughter for grandmothers that have passed away. I have been so pleased with all of them. They are beautiful and are such a great tribute to our grandmothers.
Jessica G.
The keepsake bear is perfect! And already so loved♥️
Willie A.
So we got this bear for my sister in law. She had a baby that passed away shortly after birth and she had given us some of the clothes for our baby. We used the clothes she gave us to have the bear made. The bear made the clothes have a purpose. It really is something special and came out better than we expected. Whoever came up with the design deserves a huge hug and a thank you!!
Michael H.
Absolutely satisfied with my purchase!! These bears were made from my baby blanket & there was just enough material to make two. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. One for my Mom & for myself. Best Xmas gift ever! Now I can look and admire instead of having my baby blanket put away in storage. Thanks again Patchwork Bear, will definitely do business with again in the future!
Dawn S.
My bear is in memory of my mom. My bear came out just beautiful. I also had a bear made in memory of my dad and brother.
Cathy B.
I kept a dozen of my late husband's unique and beautiful ties, but didn't know what to do with them. So I sent them to Patchwork Bears and the result was lovelier than I could imagine! They did a beautiful and creative job selecting which tie fabric would look best on different parts of the bear. I cherish the Memory Bear; it's a loving reminder of my husband. Thank you, Patchwork Bears!
Betty B.
Thanks for the amazing work of art an outstanding piece that’s so much more than I expected. I’m truly blessed to have this treasure!

This sweet baby girl never had the opportunity to meet her daddy before he went to heaven. This sweet baby girl never had the opportunity to meet her daddy before he went to heaven. She has this memory bear to cherish the rest of her life with her daddies clothes. Very pleased with our bear!

LostCityVintage
Our two fabulous, personalized bears from @thepatchworkbear, gifted to us by a wonderful friend. The quality of workmanship is amazing, and these are truly cuddly bears! Both of my kids sleep with theirs (and both protested when I borrowed them for the photo; “where are you taking my bear, Mommy?”, “my bear, Mommy! Mine!”.). Check out The Patchwork Bear’s many options for keepsake, personalized items!
