I got a bear from my baby’s going home outfit. Love it. They did beautiful work!!
After suddenly losing my parents together, one of the things I would do is open a drawer and hold this piece of clothing of my mom’s. Then I would put it back away.
Now my sweet Patchwork bear sits atop my dresser and I can hug it anytime I need. Thank you for these special remembrances that you make. So sweet 🥲 ❤️
A cousin sent us this bear made out of old plaid T-shirts from our father who passed away a few years ago. It seemed silly keeping his T-shirts hanging in the closet, so this was the perfect way to have a present reminder as a decoration. He sits on the bookcase in the living room bringing smiles to all.
My emotions were over the top. The workmanship (even to the pocket which matched the pattern) on this Memory Bear is beyond words. Everything is perfect. Thank you, Megan.
I ordered two bereavement bears for my daughters. Their Daddy and my husband was killed in an automobile accident. It has left a huge void in our family. The bears were absolutely amazing! My daughters loved them. I actually plan to order more for my granddaughters for they loved their Papaw greatly. Thank you for the beautiful and well crafted products you provide. They truly are so very special.
Could not be more pleased with the bear you created for my daughter with the fabric I sent from her brother's shirt she had signed when he moved from elementary to middle school/upward basketball jersey and her nanny's favorite shirt. Tears came to our eyes as she opened it. Will be ordering more soon! With appreciation, Shawn Murdock
After my mothers passing, I wanted to do something special to remember her- these memory bunnies are perfect and will be cherished by her daughters and granddaughters. I am thrilled with how great they turned out, and I smile whenever I look at them.
Beautiful craftsmanship. My husband loved the reminder of his mother
Our bears turned out so much better than expected. They are perfect and remind us of our loved one.
At a loss for words on these bitty bears!! They were done for my little grandsons for Christmas from my mom’s denim capri pants. They are 1yr & 3 yrs old right now. One day they’ll understand. 😢
I have to say that the customer service was past awesome!! She made sure that my order was here for Christmas!! Can’t say enough about my bears and ornaments! So very pleased!! I don’t have a picture to share just yet.
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!!
At a loss for words really. I purchased half a dozen of these for my sister, daughters, and nieces. They were made from my mom’s pajama bottoms. They were so fun and bright! These girls were full of tears on Christmas Day. Such a special moment that day! So well done and will continue to use The Patchwork Bear!!
Amazing quality and handled with care!
I actually am having trouble coming up with the words to describe how happy I am with my order. I was so nervous to send my late mother's clothing out to some strangers to cut them up and make things. I'm so glad I did. Firstly, the Patchwork Team handled everything with cate and respect. They answered all questions I had prior to the order, let me know when they received the clothing so I knew it was safe, had my order weeks before I expected, and despite me not making the deadline for a christmas delivery, STILL had them to me the week before. I gave some special requests and everything came out just beautifully. Thank you. I really cherish these. You used a talent of yours to bring love and joy into the world. Thank you. I'm copying this into all the products i purchased. I bought a lot! 1 bunny, 3 bitty bears, 4 hearts, and 4 birds.
