Customer Reviews
The memory bear, bunny and elephants I received are beautiful and used special clothing from my mom who passed away. It is so nice to have her memory with me every time I look at these incredible keepsakes. The elephants went to my grandchildren, her great grandkids and they mean so much. Thanks so much Patchwork Bear!
I had 4 bears made out of my husband’s shirts I had each daughter pick a shirt as well as myself something we can hold and hug when we feel lonely and sad they beautifully made and so much appreciated thank you so much love and prayers to everyone
I love it! I knew I wanted to do something with a group of old, but treasured, shirts. I didn't need another quilt and I don't really use throw pillows, so the bear was perfect and all of the choices made with my requests of what I wanted displayed were amazing!
He is beautiful and I’m so happy to have a sweet memory of my husband and his favorite shirts that remind me of him. Beautiful designed.
My husband’s uniform was Hawaiian shirts. I had four bears made from our four daughters
I am so pleased how they turned out. I think they are going to be surprised and love them.
Definitely a special keepsake!
I was so happy with my bear, I cried. My spouse has been gone for 14 years, and it brought back so many memories. From his first duty station to his last and his compassion for Habitat for Humanity when he retired. I received a message that I had circled too close to the picture I wanted to use, but I left it in their hands, and they did a splendid job. My daughter has already claimed it after I pass away. My son on the other hand won't get as many of his Dad's T-shirts. Thank you for the wonderful workmanship and loving care. C. Gerber
Got my bear today and hands down in love with the workmanship and the placement of everything. I asked for something specific to be done and they knocked it out of the park. Would highly recommend this company to anybody.
Perfect!
