I ordered four memory bears (Simple Memory Bear made with one shirt) made from shirts that belonged to my mom, and I truly can’t say enough about how much I love them. I cried when I opened the box. They are absolutely beautiful and even more special than I imagined they would be.
There is something incredibly comforting about being able to hold a bear made from a shirt that my mom actually wore. They aren’t just bears—they are a tangible piece of her and something my family and I will be able to hold onto and cherish for years to come.
The workmanship is wonderful, and I love how each bear has its own personality depending on the shirt it was made from. Seeing her familiar clothes transformed into something so beautiful and huggable is incredibly meaningful.
These bears are truly precious to me, and I will absolutely be having more made. Thank you, Patchwork Bear, for creating something that means more to me than I could ever adequately put into words. ❤️
We are thrilled with the bears we received. My dad passed away July 10th. We wanted a way to have a special keepsake for our children. This was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for your fine work! They are beautifully made. We will cherish these forever! Five stars!!!
I absolutely love the memory bear I had made for my mom! My cousin and I had bears made from our grandmother’s shirts prior, and I was so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship that I knew I wanted one for my mom as well. It made such a beautiful and meaningful surprise. You can truly see the love and care that went into making it. Highly recommend!
I cried when I opened the bear because the shirt I sent was one that my husband wore the most and that he loved. He passed away 18 months ago and this is a wonderful remembrance of him❤️. Thank you so much for what you’re doing for people.
I had my deceased father’s old wool Navy uniform and wanted to do something with it for my son’s wedding. My husband saw The Patchwork Bear’s video of them turning the exact uniform into a pillow. I knew I had found my special something! I ordered online and sent the uniform off. The instructions were easy to understand for shipping the material and the communication with the company was great! The final product is absolutely wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to give it to my son, who is also in the Navy. It will mean so much to him. Thank you Jen and The Patchwork Bear!
This memory bear is so beautiful and exactly what I hoped it would be! The quality is wonderful and the quick turnaround time was impressive! Highly recommend!
Truly exceptional customer service, craftsmanship, and care! 10 out of 10!
We are so happy with our Patchwork Bear. The attention to detail put into the bear is phenomenal, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. The small details like the lace on the ears, was above and beyond what we expected. We will definitely be purchasing again!
The bear, a Christmas gift for my 5 adult daughters, used material from my husband’s worn salmon shorts, his favorite robe and a tie. Fabulous!! The seamstresses are amazing! I am thrilled with the bears!!
A proud grandfather wore many shirts. The four memory bears are keeping his memory alive. Thank you to those who created our Patchwork Bears. The Sloan Family
I live everything except the eyes I bought blue eyes on line.
All four of our families memory bears of their Dad and my husband came out beautiful ! The stitching is great and the bears look sweet

The Simple Memory Bear using his favorite shirts give us fond memory of an amazing person
I love my T-shirt quilt! It brought me to tears to see my late husband’s shirts that have such strong memories attached to them repurposed as a blanket. It is beautiful and I treasure the care you put into each memory item. I have a bear too that you made for me a few months ago. Your communication, ease of ordering, and beautiful work with the bear made it easy to trust your business with the tshirts! I highly recommend!
I am so happy with my memory bear . My bear is in memory of my son, who passed 4 years ago . Thank you so much you did an amazing job !
I am extremely happy with bear. It is made with my sons clothes. They really paid attention to detail and made it special. I would highly recommend.
I have 9 Great Grandchildren and wanted them to have something to remember there grandpa who passed in March 2026.
I had a memory Bear made from a shirt my husband wore often. It is such great quality and I just love looking at it.
My husband dies after falling so his death was heartbreaking…I had this Grandpa bear made in his favorite camo…the bear is so awesome…my girls say the face is perfect! Thank you so much! I have already passed your info to a friend who,also lost her husband!
When my father passed away we had boxes of T-shirts from all the charities he had worked with, from his time in the Marine Corps and law enforcement, as well as Tshirts from family trips. We didn’t want to just throw them out but no one was going to wear them. We had previously ordered from The Patchwork Bear on a smaller order and knew we could trust them with our memories. They did a beautiful job turning all those shirts into 3 memory quilts (one for each for myself and my two brothers) and 8 memory bears (enough for my mother, my generation and all the grand kids).
I highly recommend The Patchwork Bear. I’m already thinking of new projects to send to them.

I ordered 4 bears made from one of my mom’s pajama shirts. These bears are far better than I could have ever hoped for. The process was so easy and the bears are so special and sweet. I can’t wait to surprise my sister, aunt and grandma with their bears - thank you for all that you do, this will be cherished forever!!
This business is great! I love my Bereavement Bear so very much. They did an excellent job. Me George kitty crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026. This bear they made with clothing that George actually wore. They even put his name on the little foot. Bear is very well made. They anre so easy to work with. I had questions annd they promptly andwered them. And the poem that is on it is beautiful. Thank you very much.
Patchwork Bear was great to work with to get my 3 wonderful bears made!!
I used pajamas from a loved one to create memory bears for the family. They came out even better than I could have imagined!
