Customer service was amazing! Jennifer reached out soon after I placed my order to let me know the red tote was out of stock and offered a replacement, which was even nicer! Even though it had to be made, I received it very quickly. The bag is very well made and looks very sturdy. I love my new tote bag!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Patchwork Bear.
They created this beautiful bereavement bear for me from five of my son Mark’s favorite shirts, and it was absolutely worth the wait. The quality is impeccable. Every stitch, every detail, and the way they thoughtfully incorporated pieces of his clothing is just beautiful.
But this is so much more than a beautifully made bear.
These are shirts my son wore. They hold memories of him, of his personality, of ordinary days that I would give anything to have back. Now those pieces have been lovingly turned into something I can actually hold close when missing him feels unbearable.
Losing a child leaves you reaching for anything that helps you feel connected to them. I can’t wrap my arms around Mark anymore, but I can wrap my arms around this bear made from the clothes that once wrapped around him. There is something incredibly comforting about that.
The details on his little feet—Mark’s name, his birth year, and 2026—made it even more personal and emotional for me.
This bear will have a permanent place in my chair with me, especially on the hard days. It is not just a keepsake. It is something tangible that carries pieces of my son and helps bring a little comfort to my broken heart.
Thank you, The Patchwork Bear, for handling something so precious with such care and for creating something I will treasure for the rest of my life. ❤️
Repeat customer… so many complements on the quilt. Love it!
The Bear came out beautifully. I was originally told that the pleather could not be used because it was too thick of a material, but seeing it used for the inside of the ears and the bottoms of the feet. My Niece will truly cherish it.
This product exceeded my expectations. The setup was simple, and the quality is exceptional.
I purchased a bereavement bear for my 2 year old daughter, Peyton. My husband passed away in June and I wanted to have something she can hold onto when she misses or thinks of daddy. It was beautifully put together and is now part of our nighttime routine. We give daddy bear a hug and a kiss and let him know how much we love him.
I want to thank the team for this. Also, acknowledge the exceptional communication. I so appreciated receiving an email that my husbands shirts arrived safe and sound and for the option to have what was left sent back. Sincerely, thank you.
I had 10 bears made with a shirt of my mom's and a shirt of my dads. They all turned out so amazing! Such a special way to remember them.
Wow ! Wow! Wow! These are amazing! The customer service was top notch They each have their own unique qualities that bring different memories of my Mom and Grandma. I will have trouble choosing which one I will keep. Customer service is top notch especially when you have a ditzy customer. When I gift these I will share personal photos for now here are the bears.
I received my bitty bear and it’s so cute. Such great quality..much much better than I expected.
I ordered 2 Mini Bears to be made out of an Army shirt my father in law wore before he passed. He was a Very Proud Korean War Veteran. When I gave one to my wife and mother in law they both loved them. Thanks for doing such a great job.
These two bears are just adorable! I love being able to see what fabric came from what article of clothing.
These bears were made from my husband’s favorite shirts and jeans. I had pictures of him in those to give with the bears to my kids. A beautiful memory of a man so very loved.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about these memory bears. I ordered 4 for our family. They were made from my grandmother’s shirts, and they mean so much to our family. When I opened them, I cried. ❤️ They are absolutely beautiful and such a special way to keep a little piece of her close to us.
Thank you for creating something so meaningful that we will treasure forever. What a beautiful keepsake and such a wonderful way to honor her memory. 🤍
The bear is beautiful. A wonderful keepsake.
They were professional and personal in my interactions.
A couple of decisions I didn't know what to do so I left it to their judgement and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you for a marvelous gift.
The memory bear we ordered is worth every penny. Our daughter’s little onesies were made into a perfect bear. We will cherish it forever.
My Bitty bear is so adorable and I can't wait to gift it to my granddaughter!
I ordered two bears with my Grandmothers clothing. I could not be happier for how they turned out. The process to order was straight forward and easy. Thank for creating these lovely keepsakes for me!
I absolutely love my bears. I got these because my son recently passed away and I wanted something with his things. Communication was great and they asked questions to make sure they were exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be more happy!
I purchased 2 bears-one for my sister and one for me. My sister teared up when she realized her bear was made from my Mom's everyday blouses. My bear is made from my Mom's going out to dinner blouses-fancy. We both love our bears and the memories they bring back of our Mom.
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. ❤️
Thank you for making this bear exactly as requested. Very well made, worth the wait. He's adorable and I'll treasure him forever.
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.
