Every parent has favorite clothes that their kids have outgrown, full of stains and memories: The one they came home from the hospital in, first smile, first meal, first steps, family trips, etc. We preserve those memories and transform treasured clothes into a custom Patchwork Bear!

How does it work?

1. Place your order here online.

2. Choose clothes to make your custom Patchwork Bear. We will need 6-10 baby/kids clothes (if sized 6 months or smaller, send more). You can include any design ideas, suggestions or just throw them in a box and ship.

3. Ship your clothes to The Patchwork Bear, 66 Witherspoon Street #210, Princeton, NJ 08542.

4. Two to four weeks after we receive your clothes, your custom Keepsake Memory Bear will be complete and shipped back to you! That's all there is to it.

If you would like to give this as a gift, we now offer a unique Gift Kit which includes complete instructions for choosing and shipping clothes plus a handy box for shipping. Click through to our Keepsake Clothes Bear GIFT KIT.
