The Original Memory Bear

10/24/2026

Holly C.

St Louis, US

Beautiful Bears

My husband passed away in May. He had several shirts he wore all the time that I wanted to something with but didn't know what. I came across this site and thought it was a wonderful idea. Sent the shirts off in August and got them yesterday. I couldn't be more delighted in how they turned out. I will be keeping two and giving the other two to his mother and sister. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

Love my bear

This bear looks so beautiful made with my mother's everyday casual shirt. I absolutely love it. Everytime I see it I get excited and feel so good. Thank you for taking care of the only piece of clothing I have from my mother and turning into a beautiful gift that we will keep in the family.

The most precious keepsake

These sweet bears were made from from my husband’s shirts for our precious grands. A little piece of their Pops to hold close. ❤️🧸

Bitty Bear

10/18/2026

Lake Hopatcong, US

Took my breath away

When I took my new arrival, the Bitty Bear, out of the box I could not believe what I was holding, a tee-shirt that belonged to my best friend and beloved brother David, that was now an adorable, just the right size, bitty bear and you think that you know what its going to look like. Then it arrives and its just so much more than I expected and I was overwhelmed with tears. Corny maybe to some but I lost David 20 years ago this past July and I knew there were places that did this kind of thing. I found The Patchwork Bear as the original makers of this kind of product. I am more than thrilled with and so very, very thankful for the wonderful and compassionate people that put not only the time but the love, I felt it when I saw and held my new buddy! Thank you so much!

A perfect memento

When I opened the box and saw my bear I was amazed on the quality and how well my mother’s garments had been put together to create this cute memento. I have placed it in a room where it will remain a subtle reminder of fond memories. Thank you for putting so much care in making it.
