The Original Memory Bear, personalized

Absolutely beautiful!

An amazing keepsake. Extremely well made and will be ordering another one.

Wonderful gift!

This was a wonderful gift to my wife, to commemorate her mother’s memory. The amount of time and quality of this gift is incredible. Thank you for creating such a wonderful gift for my wife!

Amazing!

I received my memory bears this weekend and I’m beyond happy with them! Not only is the quality amazing but they were so intentional on where to place the different patterns on the bear to make it look great!
Thank you, Patchwork Bear for helping make my grandma’s memory live on through these beautiful bears!

Priceless - Awesome Work

These bears mean the world to me after losing my Mom in 2022. The clothes chosen were 3 nightgowns that she basically lived in the last 6 months of her life. I wasn’t sure the material could be used as it was very stretchy but your designers attention to detail really shows the passion they put into each bear. Seeing these bears brought tears to my eyes as they were like having a piece of Mom back with us. I would highly recommend Patchwork Bear to anyone and everyone.

They never disappoint!

I recently ordered a memory pillow and in the past have ordered a few memory bears. I have been consistently happy with the quality of their work as well as their creativity. I wouldn’t hesitate to order again in the future.

Great product/idea

I gave this as a gift at a baby shower- so I haven’t seen the final product yet - but everyone thought it was a great idea and the new mom is looking forward to the process and the bunny when the time comes!

Super Impressed!

My wife and I smile every time we look at the quilt made by the Patchwork Bear. Wonderful memories rush into our heads when we look at each article of clothing contained in the quilt. The thoughtfulness put into making the quilt and quality of the product are second to none. Absolutely amazing!

I love my bear!

My husband passed on Halloween, his favorite holiday. He was a bug Ghostbusters fan. I sent in his Ghostbusters jumpsuit and had the most perfect bear made. I absolutely love it! I will treasure it forever.

Absolutely perfect!

I ordered two bears and they came out even better then expected. I love them so much and it was a perfect way to remember my brother.I cannot thank you enough.

Great Idea!

Thank you to everyone at The Patchwork Bear who helps create one-of-a-kind keepsakes from treasured items of clothing. What a wonderful way to re-use and re-purpose items that we can't imagine getting rid of or (worse yet) throwing away! Thank you, also, for your attention to detail and willingness to work through the design. I am so excited to share these ornaments with my siblings, kids, nieces, and nephews!

AWESOME!!!!

Couldnt have been happier great job just sent order for another pillow for my son he loved it and wanted one for himself such a wonderful keepsake Thank you so much Im not tech savvy or i would show picture !

Memory Bird
Sue J. (Chandler, US)
Absolutely perfect! An amazing blessing!

The Memory Bird was made from fabric left from the simple Memory Bear I ordered. The bear was amazing and I didn't know what to expect of the bird... it is also AMAZING. They did such a great job and have such an eye for design and detail! Using most of the fabric and getting even more beautiful remembrances from the one sweater I had is such a blessing! This will be a lovely "ornament" to hang or display anywhere - even on a Christmas tree! The picture doesn't do it justice - it's ADORABLE and PERFECT. :)

Simple Bear with One Shirt

Absolutely wonderful, so well made and I can tell a lot of time and effort went into making it this way, just perfect. We used the fabric of our angel dogs favorite couch pillow (we no longer have the couch) but this bear brings me so much joy touching the fabric. Will be ordering more bears immediately.

Absolutely perfect! Keeps memories alive and part of daily life!

My mother passed 12 years ago and her "iconic" sweater has been hanging uselessly in my closet since then... I see if and it brings memories but when I came across Patchwork Bear I knew it could be so much more... It was scary to trust the one clothing item I have to a process like this, but the results are AMAZING. The bear, heart and bird, and so wonderful! I now get to "see" Mom in the living room or even sit and watch TV with her. The bear was made from just one piece of clothing and they did such a great job. I couldn't be happier and this is such a blessing for me to have this as a remembrance versus just a sweater hanging out of sight in my closet. The bear helps keep memories alive daily and to be shared with others who visit the home!

Amazing work! Thank you!

I didn’t know what they were going to be able to do from the sweatshirt and beanie that I sent in. Boy was I surprised when I got the bears! Nothing short of amazing! Thank you!

Memory Bear (my dad bear)

The Patchwork Bear did such an amazing job creating my “dad bear”. I am so glad I found them online. When I posted a picture of my bear I had several friends asking who created it and I have gave them the link to Patchwork Bear. I am so very happy with my Bear!

Sweet

This bear is so cute and sweet. I got this one from one of my Dad’s flannel shirts. It is perfect. Great size. Only suggestion: with a darker color shirt, I would have liked different eyes and nose. They disappear a little into the fabric. Beautifully crafted bear. I love it. Ordering a second one for my brother.
