I have 3 of these bears and love them. Great quality and a forever keepsake. Highly recommend
I ordered two t-shirt quilts for my son who is graduating from college. The ordering process was easy and The Patchwork Bear was very attentive to my requests. They reached out directly to me to ensure my request was interpreted correctly. My order was turned around in record time. I am so pleased with the two quilts! They are beautiful and I know my son will love them and enjoy reminiscing about the stories each shirt holds.
I can’t wait to order more for my family members!
Thank you, The Patchwork Bear!
After my dad’s passing, I kept a few of his favorite shirts, hoping to one day have something made from them.
I’m amazed by how effortlessly I was able to create a mini memory bear! Despite having limited sewing experience, the pattern’s design makes it an ideal choice for beginners. It’s well-written and provides clear instructions, guiding you through ironing the pattern, sewing it together, and stuffing it.
Personally creating a bear out of his clothing was a wonderful way to preserve his memory. Thank you Patchwork Bear!
The bear is beautifully handcrafted; it definitely will become a family heirloom. We got this bear to honor my young son who died tragically 8 months ago. It is made from his favorite shirt and a work shirt that had his name embroidered on it. I received the excess fabric back to use for another project and everything was packaged with care. All together the whole process was easy, well communicated, and very fast.
I am so pleased with the way my quilt turned out! It is better than I could have imagined. So much love, care and thought went into making it. Love, Love, Love it!!! Thank you.
There are some objects that are more than just things — they are living memories, stitched together with love, loss, and hope.
My patchwork bear is one of those treasures.
Made from my father’s clothes, this bear holds a part of him that words could never fully capture. My dad passed away before two of the biggest milestones of my life — my wedding and the launch of my new company. He never got to see the world I’m building, but somehow, having this bear by my side makes it feel like he’s still a part of it all.
Each piece of fabric tells its own story — a favorite shirt he wore on Sunday mornings, a flannel he loved in the fall, a soft hoodie that reminds me of every adventure he ever took me on. The bear sits proudly in my office: a quiet, comforting presence, a reminder that my roots are strong and that his spirit and love continue to guide me through every risk, every triumph, every dream coming true.
It’s more than a keepsake — it’s a connection. It’s my father’s laughter, his wisdom, his unwavering belief in me, all stitched together in a form I can hug when the world feels too heavy.
This bear is proof that love never leaves us. It simply finds new ways to stay close.
I am so very grateful for this company. I had one made for my mom right away and kept feeling like I needed one too! I'm so glad I have mine. Oh yeah, it's adorable too! MADE TO PERFECTION. Thanks again!
So very happy to have found your company. Having a keepsake for my children of their late father's clothing means so much. I wanted one especially to meet the milestone of my daughters graduation. Thank you for your professionalism, understanding and kindness during a difficult and emotional time . The bears are well made . They will be cherished. Thank you again
Words cannot express how thankful I am to have found The Patchwork Bears website. I treasure my bear and it gives me comfort knowing it was made from my husband’s favorite shirts. I had bitty bears made for my grandchildren and they are in love with them My 7 year old grandson says he feels connected to grandpa. Thanks for the cherished memories. Wish I had thought to take pictures.
The bears are a beautiful reminder of our Mom❤️ My sister and I each had one made from my mom's clothes after she passed. We have plans to have more made for her grandkids and great grandkids. Such a special keepsake. Thank you
I sent one of my son’s shirts and the end result was perfect. I will cherish this bear forever!!
I will admit, sending in my grandfathers flannels was one of the most scariest things I’ve ever done. He was the only grandfather I had my entire life and when he passed, I took it very hard. Due to circumstances out of my control, these flannels were the only two items of him that I had to remember him so I knew this is what I wanted to do. Patchwork Bear had amazing reviews and afger researching, this is the company I wanted to go with. It turned out beautifully and I am happy that I will get to show this to my son and he will always know of his great-grandfather. Thank you so much again.
My sister and I lost our mom in December. I selected two of her favorite denim shirts and ordered a bear for each of us for our April birthdays. I cried when I opened the box. The bears are made with amazing love and detail. Thank you so much for giving us a part of our mom to cherish and love forever.
I ordered 2 bears to be made from three of my husbands shirts. A memory bear for my first grandchild, and a smaller one for me.
They are beautiful, I cried when I opened the box. Precious indeed. Thank You.
We had 10 bears done for my dad and they turned out amazingly. Thank you!!
The process was easy, and I'm glad the team reached out for questions on my design. The bears turned out really nice, and made a difference for my kids during a difficult time.
I sent clothing from my daughter’s childhood to have a bear made for her new daughter (1st Grandbaby) and wow…it was even better than I expected. The care taken to include the most special bits of the clothing was exceptional. My daughter was touched. Thank you for creating a very special “heirloom” piece for our new granddaughter.❤️
The bears were well put together and they did a great job making sure that the important things were evenly split between the two bears.
The four bears I ordered came last night and I am so pleased with the end result. You did everything I asked, even remembering to send back the buttons from my husbands travelers vest so I can sew them back on the bears pockets. You have done an exceptional job for someone that is hard to please. I can't thank you enough for a job well done!
The Memory Elephants, Bunny and Bear I had made are beautiful reminders of cherished times with my mom who passed away. I love them so much I had some made for her great grandchildren and my sister. Thanks again Patchwork Bear!
This company far exceeded my expectation. The bear is so well made. It feels weighted and fits perfectly against your body if you’re giving it a hug. The bear was made to my specifications and the clothes were treated with respect and fit perfectly. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for such a special keepsake of my beloved life partner.
The memory bear, bunny and elephants I received are beautiful and used special clothing from my mom who passed away. It is so nice to have her memory with me every time I look at these incredible keepsakes. The elephants went to my grandchildren, her great grandkids and they mean so much. Thanks so much Patchwork Bear!
I had 4 bears made out of my husband’s shirts I had each daughter pick a shirt as well as myself something we can hold and hug when we feel lonely and sad they beautifully made and so much appreciated thank you so much love and prayers to everyone
