See AllSee All

A keepsake that holds all the memories of when they were little- made entirely from their clothes.

Send us your baby's clothes and we'll create a memory bear to remember all those special moments: coming home outfit, receiving blanket, first steps, first holidays... Perfect way to keep those memories close to your heart.

Choose at least 8-12 baby-sized clothes (if preemie size, please send a few more) to make this heirloom bear.

Finished bear measures approximately 17 inches tall with embroidered eyes and nose for added charm and safety (no plastic parts or buttons!). Allow 6-8 weeks to create your keepsake (+shipping time).

NOTE: This bear costs more than the Original Memory Bear due to the additional labor required to piece together smaller size clothes.

Wedding Keepsake Bears

I made the decision to have my wedding gown made into three keepsake bears for my children. I read the many wonderful reviews from customers who have used The Parchwork Bear and I entrusted them to make these very special gifts and I was not disappointed. The attention to detail and even the care used to take my order confirmed that I had made the right choice. I gifted the bears to my children Christmas morning and they loved the gift. I wasn’t quite sure that as teens they would appreciate the bears but they did and I thought my heart would burst to see how much they loved them. Thank you for creating such a special memory for me and my children.

A beautiful memento!

Thank you for creating my oldest daughter's memory bear! She absolutely loves it and we will cherish it for many years to come. We will definitely be ordering two more bears for our other daughters - just need to pick out the clothes, which is the hardest part! Thank you again for your talent - you are awesome!

The Original Memory Bear

10/24/2026

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.

Bitty Bear

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.
