I was so pleased when my birds came in the mail the other day. I am so thrilled how they turned out. I am giving them out to family members.

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.

Thank you so much for my memory birds. I miss my sweet Ollie every day, and it’s so nice to see some of my favorite outfits of hers turned into something I can enjoy forever. They are beautifully made, and I can’t thank you enough!

The bird was so detailed. I just love it. Hung them on a lamp next to my bed. Fall asleep looking at them and wake up to such cuteness. It just gives me a sense of closeness to my daddy.

Absolutely perfect! An amazing blessing!

The Memory Bird was made from fabric left from the simple Memory Bear I ordered. The bear was amazing and I didn't know what to expect of the bird... it is also AMAZING. They did such a great job and have such an eye for design and detail! Using most of the fabric and getting even more beautiful remembrances from the one sweater I had is such a blessing! This will be a lovely "ornament" to hang or display anywhere - even on a Christmas tree! The picture doesn't do it justice - it's ADORABLE and PERFECT. :)

Simply Amazing

Quality of their workmanship and attention to detail is beyond explanation. I’m forever grateful they turned my mom’s favorite blouse into a beautiful work of art that makes us smile every time we see it. We were lucky to have a bear and bird made for her blouse. We had the bird made, since we called her Nanabird! Thank you

Something so precious..

I cannot recommend this company enough! From the concept to finished product I am blown away. They went above and beyond my expectations! I wanted to get something to remember my dad,grandmother and grandfather by. I made memory boxes out of these birds and I’m simply so grateful and weepy (yes weepy.) with how they turned out. This is such a perfect representation of my loved ones and I can’t thank y’all enough!

The Original Memory Bear

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.
