I received my bears made with my late husband’s Hawaiian shirts. The workmanship is excellent and very pleased with the quality. I am so happy that I ordered as the bears will be keepsakes.

Highly recommend

Love them all!

I ordered 4 bears made from my brothers t shirts. He passed away 2 years ago. I got one for our mom, one for his daughter, one for his great granddaughter he never got to meet and one for myself. All of us loved them. I will be placing an order for more soon! I would highly recommend this place 💜

Tabletop Christmas Trees

I love my trees that reflect my mom and grandma’s craftiness combined with The Patchwork Bear’s handiwork. A perfect size! Thank you so much!

Bereavement Bear with poem in heart

I have already had 2 bereavement bears made in the last few months and they were just perfect and were for two of my grandsons. They picked out shirts from my deceased son’s clothing that had meaning to each. The bear I received last week was just amazing! My son and my son-in-law were both NY Jet fans and would watch many a game together. I choose shirts for this bear with some of his sports attire and it is just perfect. Hoping my son-in-law will appreciate it when the season starts!!! Thank you again.

Gram Grams dress worn at granddaughters wedding

We lost my Mom/ Gram Gram July of 2023. I sent my Moms suit that she wore for my Daughters wedding. I wanted to keep her suit in our memories forever. I received 2 unbelievably beautiful bears. I cannot thank you enough for the amazing work you did in keeping my mom close to our hearts and hold them and feel like my mom will always be with us.

Great Grandchild’s elephant

The elephant is delightful! My first great grandchild is due in October, but we are traveling soon to deliver gifts. The baby’s father is from India where the future expectant parents are living now. If the paperwork goes through, they’ll be in the states and my daughter-in-law will deliver their gifts (providing she can travel with an extra large suitcase).

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

I had a beautiful pillow made from my souvenir turtlenecks and T-shirts. The women at The Patchwork Bear did such a professional job and were easy to work with…they promptly answered all my questions and the pillow was delivered in the time promised! Money well spent! I have all the memories in one place and can display them proudly. It also helped me declutter all that unwanted clothing!Great conversation piece as well! Getting lots of compliments!

Adorable Bear!!

The patchwork bear made such a cute bear for my 1 year old soon out of his coming home outfit and hospital swaddles. Such a great wear to use these pieces that otherwise would just be stored away. Great customer service and quick turnaround. So happy with the result!!

Even better than my high expectations

My daughter and I ordered this for Mother's Day and there was extra fabric so we had a second bear made at a discount and we cannot wait until Mother's Day. I am horrible at picking gifts but I know that this year I will win at mothers day. Ok fine, my daughter and i will win :)

So Beautiful!!

My bereavement bear is so beautiful -- when I opened the box and took it out, I immediately sat down with it in my arms hugging it and crying. It is a big comfort to me. I sleep with it and recently took the bear which is made from my hubby's T-shirts on a trip with me. I went somewhere he and I used to always go, and I was apprehensive about going without Larry. But "Larry Bear" was there with me and took that apprehension away. Thank You Patchwork Bear. Your workmanship is exquisite!! I will recommend you highly to all my friends.

A beautiful way to honor someone!

Over the moon in love with the memory pillow I ordered for my husband, in honor of my sweet MIL. This will be given to him as a gift as we celebrate the first Mother's Day this year without her. A such a beautiful way to honor someone who is no longer with us. I will definitely be ordering again.

Beyond my expectations!

Just received my two memory bears and they are more than I expected. The work is absolutely beautiful. I asked for a deadline of May 4th and received them 12 days early. So excited to give these as gifts.

Stuffed teddy

Excellent experience, my daughter just loved this keepsake

Highly recommend

The first thing I saw when I entered my moms house after she passed away, was the last nurses scrub jacket she ever wore. I wanted to make it a keepsake and a Patchwork Bear was how I decided to do it. The Bear came out better than I could have ever hoped. Communication was on point and shipping was quick and care was put into packaging.
