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 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. ❤️
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.
