My husband Phil passed away in April. I thought it would be a nice remembrance to have a bear with his favorite shirts. He was very patriotic having been in the Air Force & so I used 2 shirts that had Air Force logos & pictures on them. I instructed Patchwork Bear where to put the logo, as well as where to put my husband's nickname "Mr. Cool" & the other information. When I received the bear everything was done to my specifications perfectly & the bear looked fantastic. I will always cherish it & hand it down to my children to keep forever. I have already sent the Patchwork Bear link to a couple of my friends who wanted to know where the bear was done, since they thought it was awesome & so well made.
Thank you for creating my oldest daughter's memory bear! She absolutely loves it and we will cherish it for many years to come. We will definitely be ordering two more bears for our other daughters - just need to pick out the clothes, which is the hardest part! Thank you again for your talent - you are awesome!
My husband passed away this past January. We were married for 56 years and have two married daughters and five mostly grown grandkids. My husband was a firefighter for 32 years and loved golf. Each person picked one of their dad’s and grandfather’s fireman’s t-shirts and one favorite golf shirt. The bears are exquisite and remind my family always of their father and grandfather. I can’t express how grateful I am to patchwork bears for the job they did for me and my family.
The bear came out better than I could have ever hoped for. The placement of the “Hello Kitty” logos and the use of the fabric was beautifully done. The designers who laid it all out should be commended for a job well done! ❤️
This is a gift for someone and I won’t be able to get it to her for a couple weeks but it turned out amazing!! I wasn’t sure with the shirts I was given but absolutely love love love it!!
I am really happy with the memory bear made from my dad's old flannel shirt. I love it so much!
You always do the most amazing work. This bear is so special because the items belonged to my mother who passed a year and half ago. The pieces are from her wedding dress, her bedspread from when I was a child and her most recent night gown. Thank you so much!
I am so impressed with the workmanship of this company and can’t wait to give them to my family. I ordered two bears for my adult children and two hearts for my grandchildren. I sent my husband’s shirts and the fabric is on the bears and the hearts. This is such a wonderful memory of their father and grandfather. I know this will be a very emotional day for them but also a happy one. Thank you.
I have ordered from The Patchwork Bear several times for myself and all family members! Absolutely gorgeous bears, rabbits, and quilts. The make wonderful keepsakes.❤️
Truly breathtaking. The quality of work is exceptional and will not disappoint. Recommend 10/10. Thank you!!
My Memory Bear is beautiful! I love all the details. I sent instructions as to how I wanted the material used and they exceeded my expectations. I will treasure it forever.

We received our keepsake bear today, made of our almost one year olds newborn clothing and gahh it’s perfect!! It brings back so many memories of those early days. I had lots of her newborn clothing just sitting in our closet taking up space and I wanted this bear to cherish and remember such a precious time with my babygirl. I love it so much!! Thank you Patchwork Bear!!
I upgraded from a Bitty Bear to a Simple Memory Bear. This housecoat my mom wore all the time; there were a few small holes and stains. I didn’t want to throw away and I couldn’t donate so I looked at ways to use the housecoat and the Memory Bear was perfect. She lived to be 101 and I know she would have liked it.
Thank you to the patchwork team for creating my beautiful hearts from my son's early clothes. I gave them as gifts to family and friends. Everyone was touched by them. They were great and I highly recommend this company and product.
I’m so happy with Lily’s memory Bear. All her favorite clothes are there for me to hold on to at anytime💞it’s just perfect. I feel like you may have even used the ones that were “loved” on more and that made me so happy to see. Thank you. And the 3 hearts with extra fabric was such a nice gift! I have told so many about your company and shared pictures.
I’m over the moon satisfied with my Memory Bear. There craftsmanship is amazing. I can’t express the emotion I felt hugging my Bear when I received it 2 days prior to Father’s Day! I love it!❤️
We wanted something special for our graduating fellows and what better way than to make a keepsake with their personal white coat worn during training! You did a fantastic job and have started a new tradition with our fellowship. We look forward to many years of making memories with you!
There's a certain sentimental allure to the idea of this bear. It's crafted from a police uniform, the child's father and that personal connection adds a layer of potential warmth. Unfortunately, the execution falls short. The dark fabric overwhelms the bear's form, making it difficult to see the playful essence of a teddy bear. While the concept of honoring Dad's service is touching, the result feels more like a somber reminder than a cuddly companion.
I sent in two of my father’s flannel shirts for the Patchwork Bear. I love it and especially the shirt pocket they used for a pocket on the bear. My dad loved pockets. Thank you for this darling keepsake that is a perfect tribute to my dad.
I bought this puppy ready made as my granddaughter has outgrown her raggedy jeans and no longer has them. It will make a super gift for her 18th birthday as she lives in jeans. The puppy is adorable and very well made.
I was so conflicted about what to do with my little one’s too-small baby clothes - I didn’t want to give them away, but they were taking up SO much space. This was the perfect solution! I nearly teared up when I received our bear - it brought me right back to all those firsts. Get the bear! You won’t regret it!
Her coming home outfit to her first birthday.
Her first Christmas at 15 days old. Her first smiles and the first time she laughed. The first time she walked.
Her Daddy's old pajamas she also wore, a couple of favorites in between and her first bow. This bear is a tangible story of our first year together.
Thank you for creating such a special piece for the memories to live on and not just stashed in a box for years to come
