It’s Beautiful!

My bear came out so beautiful! I had my uncles shirts just waiting for me to do something with for too many years, I came across the ad for The Patchwork Bear and knew this was what I needed to do! Y’all are so talented! Thank you!!

Superb Quality

I could not be happier with my bears. They are amazing quality and absolutely beautiful. I will think of my dad every time I look at them and I will cherish them forever.

Healing

Jen and Team…these bears have been a great part of my healing and grieving journey. I’ve had 5 bears made. The experience of choosing clothes, sending them away, and getting them back as a way to hug my husband and share with family has been incredible. Thank you!

Bereavement bear with poem in heart

I was so shocked when I opened the box! I never could imagine how you were going to combine 2 of my Mom’s beautiful sweatshirts and create a beautiful memory for me. You nailed it and I thank you so so much. I will treasure it always! You are so talented and gifted!

Absolutely amazing! Impeccable craftsmanship. I am able to cherish my father’s memories forever.

Memory Hearts

Last Christmas (2023) my husband ordered a Memory Bear for me made from my son's clothing and I couldn't have been more touched and surprised with it. It is absolutely perfect!
This year I thought I would order 2 hearts - one for each of my children in memory of their brother. I had asked them to be made slightly different since one is for my daughter and one for my son. The workmanship is beautiful as is the personalization on each. However, I am a bit disapointed with one of them (the one for my son) since the colors are too dark and it doesn't "pop" like the one for my daughter. This is not your fault, since you made them exactly as I requested.
If I had it to do over again, I would have had you make them both the same, since the one for my daughter is much brighter. I will give them to my children for Christmas this year and I am hoping they both will be touched by the memory hearts.
Thank you.

I had my mother’s sweater made into a Christmas stocking for my sister. She absolutely loves it. Our mother always made Christmas special. My sister can see this every year and remember the magic. Thank you

Grampy's Bitty Bears and Memory Hearts

After months of searching, I finally found the perfect gifts for my twin daughters' birthday: your Bitty Bears and Memory Hearts. Your team's patience and responsiveness made the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. I love that there is an option to send back any unused material! The superior quality and coordinated designs of the 2 Bitty Bears and 4 Memory Hearts I ordered exceeded my expectations!!!! I added my dad's IBEW pin onto each bear's faux pocket for an extra special touch. My daughters adore them and keep them in their college rooms as a loving reminder of their beloved grampy.

A Simple Memory Bear made with one shirt
Ruth M. (Chattanooga, US)
My Bear is perfect but my Elephant is above and beyond!

My bear is made with my Dad’s favorite flannel shirt. It is absolutely perfect. I could not imagine it being any more perfect. But the Elephant I had made with his old chefs apron and pjs was so beautifully put together it is a true work of art. And the artist even used some of the shirt for its tail. Thank you Patchwork Bear!

I already sent Jennifer a note about my quilt in an email.

Memory Bunny by The Patchwork Bear
Debora G. (Dallas, US)
Amazing Gift.

With the passing of my mom, I found it hard to let go of some of her well-worn shirts. Patchwork Bear (or in my case, a Bunny) was the perfect gift to myself.
The process was so easy and the result, emotionally amazing!
Thank you so much Patchwork Bear for taking such great care of my moms clothes and returning to me the perfect gift.

I am so happy with my bag. I used all of my military T-shirts and it turned out so great. Some of my T-shirts was over 40 years old thank you very much.
