My patchwork bear made from shirts from my mom and dad is incredible. It helps turn grief at their loss to happy memories. Got one for me and one for my daughter. Love them.
My Patchwork Bears are so great!! My sisters, daughters and grandkids are going to be absolutely thrilled to receive these at Christmas. It means so much to have these special bears to hold and bring back so many wonderful memories to us all. Thank You for the beautiful work and for bringing so much joy to so many people.
My family is going to cherish these bears forever. They are made from my late grandpas clothes and hugging them brings me comfort. Endless thank yous
I had some items that belonged to my parents and so I sent them in with high hopes and boy did Patchwork Bear Deliver 😍. I LOVE my bear and am so happy with the work they did.
My sisters and I absolutely love the 3 bears created from our father's old Navy camouflage clothing. Each bear is adorable! Working with the team at The Patchwork Bear was an excellent experience - great communication, easy ordering process, great attention to detail in all the instructions, etc. Thank you!

Not be happier with the three bears created from a grandfather’s shirts for his young grand children. The loss to our family is unimaginable, but the bears are a special keepsake for his grandchildren. Thank you so much!
I lost my father a couple of months ago and while we didn’t want to just box all his things up and pack them away I decided to have a couple of bears made from his favorite polos to keep on our shelves. The team did an amazing job. The quality is amazing and they were very communicative with the process. I can’t say enough good things about the company and bears. Thanks again.
