from 1220 reviewsSo IMPRESSIVE- I will be recommending The Patchwork Bear to everyone. Took my Nana and Papas clothes and had these made; the love and detail that is in each one covering every inch is absolutely perfect - a true reflection of the skills and passion the staff at patchwork bear have THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

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!
I did a mini terry bear 🐻 shop in the winter and it was amazing! It triggered a chain reaction of sewing after it. I made a mini memory bear with my daughter’s hospital blanket, a onesie, and her hospital hat for the ears. It was an awesome experience! My daughter loved it immediately and she sleeps it and it’s her favorite, so much so that she’s almost taken a leg off (no rest for the bear lol). The patter is very detailed and the instructions are easy to follow and of course you have wonderful instructors right there to help you with any questions you may have. They took the time to help me complete my little bear and it came out so stinkin cute! I got to meet a total group of amazing strangers and we all work together to construct our own bears while learning about each other and it was so interesting. It was a unique experience and two memories I will never forget. It inspired me to start sewing my ow projects because I was scared of my sewing machine and in the class discovered that it was fun and nothing to be afraid of! In short, I loved it and will do it again!
I am very happy with the quality of work. My bear was very strategically done and every area had a character featured. There was no wasted space. The stitching was done professionally. I could tell they took their time and made a quality product. I’d highly recommend using this company for an amazing clothing keepsake.

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.
A friend suggested a memory bear and I found the Patchwork Bear on line. The best thing I did and it is dear to my heart. Thank you!!

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
We could not be more thrilled with our custom quilt. We sourced special fabrics from friends and family to create a quilt for our baby girl. The Patchwork Bear followed all of our special asks to a T, laid the pieces out in our preferred order, handled lots of inconsistent fabric well, and created a beautiful, beautiful product. Would highly recommend to anyone!
The bears are more than I could have hoped for. My daughter was very close with my grandmother and there has been a deep void since she passed unexpectedly last year. The bears instantly made us feel a little closer to her. Thank you again for bringing us joy during time of sorrow. Priceless.

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 just love my bereavement bear. Especially the front section with the pocket that came from my husband's overalls that he wore all the time. It is so comforting to hold my bear close to me knowing it is made of clothing from my beloved husband. Thank you - it is beautifully made!

It is perfect thank you !

I sent one of my son’s shirts and the end result was perfect. I will cherish this bear forever!!
