Thank you sooo much Jen and the Patchwork Bear team. The Claire Bears and Claire Birds are so beautiful. They made some of us teary-eyed and brought back so many wonderful memories of Claire. I am especially thankful that they arrived in time for Claire's birthday. It made the day even more meaningful and gave us something special to hold close to our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great gift idea
After my dad passed I sent in some shirts of his and had some bears made for family members. Everyone who received theirs, absolutely loved it. It gave them a sense of my dad always being there with them. They are beautifully and carefully made.

Carefully Crafted, Forever Cherished
If you’re looking for a meaningful keepsake made with love and care, I can’t recommend β€˜The Patchwork Bear’ enough. My custom rabbit, made from five pieces of my grandmother’s clothing, turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. I especially loved having the option to customize the fabric placement, which made it feel even more personal. The quality, communication, attention to detail, and packaging were all amazing. I called and emailed several times with questions before placing my order, and they went above and beyond to help guide me. You can truly feel the genuine care they put into preserving the meaningful memories behind each keepsake they create. I am forever thankful for this sweet little bunny and the memories stitched into every part of it.

Courageous battle lost
Graedy was our next door neighbor and a braver young man of 13 years you will never meet. He received a diagnosis of cancer and went full force trying to hold out against it. Alas, he lost his battle on November 7 and our entire neighborhood felt the loss. What made this harder was the loss of his father less than 5 years before this. Graedy had an army of people around him including his two sisters and younger brother. It was for them we had the Patchwork Bears created from his martial arts uniform and anime tshirts. The kids were all overwhelmed in the most beautiful way to have Graedy with them forever. This is the third time we've used Patchwork Bear to provide love and support to a family. Thank you for this incredible service.

Steph's bear
Hello,

I requested a bear be made with my daughter's pajama's. She had recently passed away in 2024. I picked a shirt from the ones she wore the most and sent it on to become a bear. It is funny how something so comforting can be made from a loved one's clothing. The bear arrived and I was instantly in love. It was the perfect size, and very well made, you just wanted to hug it. I will cherish this forever and so grateful that this company exists. The bear is very comforting. His name is Dunk.

Family Memories
I have purchased 5 bereavement bears, 2 original memory bears, 1 bitty bear, 4 memory birds and 1 16x16 pillow. Every item exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work is exceptional. Four generations of my family have an item made with my late husband's clothing. All thanks to The Patchwork Bear.

Bears & Teenagers
I bought two Original Memory Bears for my 15 and 17 year old great-grandsons. They both immediately recognized the clothes that they were made from. Gave them something to feel closer to their Papa.
