I highly recommend this project the quality is amazing! They did such a wonderful job and were so easy to work with! They even contacted me to make additional products with the remaining pieces. I am so happy and will definitely be recommending them to all my family and friends.
Such a sweet handcrafted elephant - I bought him along with two bears to use clothes from my mom and dad. I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!
I ordered 2 Simple Bereavement Bears and they exceeded my expectations. The quality and craftsmanship was outstanding and you could tell the bears were made with love. Be prepared to cry though! It is an emotions experience to see my mom’s shirts turned into these beautiful bears. I also purchased a wonderful elephant made from my dad’s shirts and a bunch of hearts from the leftover fabric.
Thank you! This bear brought both tears and smiles. A treasure we will forever keep.
Already forwarded the compay information to two friends who wanted to place an order.
Very pleased. Turned out great. Quality is terrific. Highly recommend doing this. It’s special beyond words.
They came out perfect! The attention to detail is amazing.
Jen - wanted to let you know how happy I was to receive my memory bunny. It sits on my bed alongside the memory bear for my husband. They sit together as we used to sit together. Gives me much peace. Thank you.

This is the second Bereavment bear I have purchased. My father-in-law passed and then my dad. The craftmanship is amazing! I will continue to use the Patchwork Bear and recommend to others.
My mom passed last year and my husband wanted to have something the keep her memory with me at all times. I selected her favorite clothes that some how had a great meaning or special memory. I included the dress she wore for my wedding and her favorite shirts. The results are amazing 👏. Really happy with the results.
I had several questions before I placed the order and they were all answered to my satisfaction. Once the shirts were on the way, I got updates along the way so that I would know when I could expect my memory bears. Thank you so much!
I have to admit; I was somewhat hesitant to mail in four sets of my recently deceased father's clothing, plus the cost of each bear, to have 4 memory bears made from someone who I had never heard about before. I decided to go for it a few months ago, placed my order, and a few days ago received my 4 memory bears, well packaged, in the mail. The bears are for myself, and my 3 sisters and they turned out absolutely gorgeous, far better than my expectations exceeded. The main body, arms, legs and face are each made from a pair or trousers and a shirt, the ears from his ties, and the feet from his socks. My mother who is 90 years young saw the bears yesterday and she was very overwhelmed in what The Patchwork Bear had accomplished. I would highly recommend without hesitation, and now my mom wants to order a large quilt with the remainder of my father's clothing.
Loved my memory bear, it’s so well-made and absolutely darling. Thank you so much for helping me cherish my mothers memory!
I had The Memory Tote bag made out of my deceased husband George’s clothes. George has been passed 22 months now and this is such a special way to honor my husband. I sent in a few special tee shirts that we had purchased at some of our favorite places and a pair of his camouflage pants that I love to see him wear.
The designer that designed my tote went above and beyond.
Thank you to the Designer who put such special thought into making my Memory Clothes Tote bag. I love it!

After losing my grandmother unexpectedly we wanted a way to honor her memory. Meghan met with me to coordinate shirts and placement of patterns and Jen helped with the signature. The bear was perfect and brought me to tears. The quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail and kindness of staff was beyond what I could have expected. My family was so impressed we are making 4 more bears. They even kept scraps to reuse.
I highly recommend Patchwork Bear! The service was incredible. The process was easy and I was kept informed along the way. And the finished result is high quality and so treasured. I'm so happy I trusted them with my dad's clothing.
