What can we make from YOUR clothes?
Your clothes have memories. We help save them.
We all have them: special clothes saved that hold memories from when they were worn. Baby clothes, team jersey, concert t-shirt, wedding dress, and clothes from a lost loved one are items we can repurpose.
We'll turn your clothes into a memory bear so you can save the memories, not the clothes.

My Opa bear is perfect!
My mother passed a few years ago and I had the bear made for my daughter who is having her first baby. What a beautiful gift! That baby will always have a piece of my mom. If I could give 10 stars I would! Now everyone who has seen it wants one as well.
I love my newest Bitty Bears. I have ordered a total of 16 Bitty Bears. These will be Christmas gifts for my grandchildren and some other family members.
Each bear is unique and it's hard for me to pick a favorite because I love them all.
Thanks so much. These bears are perfect! My sister’s memory lives on.
My dad passed away from cancer in January. I know my mom misses him so much. Today I received the bear and words cannot describe how happy I am with it. The Patchwork Bear does phenomenal work. My mom is going to love this gift.
It’s perfect!
My daughter lost her baby at 22 weeks after 5 days in ICU. They did such an amazing job with the remembrance birds made from her baby blanket and clothes that she was able to give to family members in remembrance of Rory. The bears were even more amazing. They rushed the order and it was so heartbreakingly beautiful.
Wonderful reminder of my grandfather
I was so nervous at first to send the clothing.
When I received my Bear tears came to my eyes. It was beautiful and i truly Loved it.
So glad I finally did it. So worth it. 😊
It was really difficult to part with my little boy Liam’s blanket but I am so glad I did. I love my bear! I asked if they include his name from the blanket and I honestly didn’t think it would happen. But I was wrong and it looks wonderfully. Now whenever I miss him I can just hung my little bear.
The bear was great. I loved the way my sons’ baby clothes and fabric from baby quilts were used. Everyone who saw the bear raved about it. It is a nice addition to the nursery.
This bear came out better than I could have imagined. This bear is such high quality and the craftsmanship is excellent. My mom recently passed and this was such a great way to remember her. I asked to have some rose appliqués from one of the shirts be added to the bear. They were placed perfectly. Thank you so much for helping me keep my moms memory alive.
Overwhelmed would be an understatement Jen and her team at The Patchwork Bear did an incredible job at making these memorial bears.
The sweater was from the first time my grandmother met Willow, their time was short lived but Willow will always have something to remember her by. 🌿💙
I lost my husband a year ago. I sent my husband's favorite golf shirts to The Patchwork Bear to be used for a quilt. The results were amazing! Patchwork Bear utilized the most important parts of the golf shirts, i.e. golf course names and/or locations, in a manner that me and my family will always remember. They know what they are doing and why! It brings peace to families everywhere.
Kudos to the wonderful staff and what they do for us.
Thank you so much! The bear was made from my dads favorite pajamas. He passed away in June and he was very special to us. Especially my daughter, they adored each other. We moved her into her dorm for her last year of College and she brought the bear with her! He will always be with her!❤
