A keepsake that holds all the memories of when they were little- made entirely from their clothes.
Send us your baby's clothes and we'll create a memory bear to remember all those special moments: coming home outfit, receiving blanket, first steps, first holidays... Perfect way to keep those memories close to your heart.
Choose at least 8-12 baby-sized clothes (if preemie size, please send a few more) to make this heirloom bear.
Finished bear measures approximately 17 inches tall with embroidered eyes and nose for added charm and safety (no plastic parts or buttons!). Allow 6-8 weeks to create your keepsake (+shipping time).
This memory bear does not include personalization. If you would like additional personalization, you can add ADD PERSONALIZATION HERE.
NOTE: This bear is $25 more than the Original Memory Bear due to the additional labor required to piece together smaller size clothes.

Customer Reviews
I made the decision to have my wedding gown made into three keepsake bears for my children. I read the many wonderful reviews from customers who have used The Parchwork Bear and I entrusted them to make these very special gifts and I was not disappointed. The attention to detail and even the care used to take my order confirmed that I had made the right choice. I gifted the bears to my children Christmas morning and they loved the gift. I wasn’t quite sure that as teens they would appreciate the bears but they did and I thought my heart would burst to see how much they loved them. Thank you for creating such a special memory for me and my children.
It’s perfect!
Thank you for creating my oldest daughter's memory bear! She absolutely loves it and we will cherish it for many years to come. We will definitely be ordering two more bears for our other daughters - just need to pick out the clothes, which is the hardest part! Thank you again for your talent - you are awesome!
My Memory Bear is beautiful! I love all the details. I sent instructions as to how I wanted the material used and they exceeded my expectations. I will treasure it forever.

I was so conflicted about what to do with my little one’s too-small baby clothes - I didn’t want to give them away, but they were taking up SO much space. This was the perfect solution! I nearly teared up when I received our bear - it brought me right back to all those firsts. Get the bear! You won’t regret it!
We sent in some of our great granddaughters clothes she wore in the first 24 months that had special meaning. The bear turned out perfect! We will hold on to it for a little longer so she can appreciate what the bear really means.
Very good
