My family had a number of quilts, bears and elephants made to ensure each generation of kids and grandkids had a keepsake. What love and care went through each piece. I can not tell you how grateful I am for how well they preserved my mothers memory. Thank you.

Such a sweet handcrafted elephant - I bought him along with two bears to use clothes from my mom and dad. I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

The Memory Elephants, Bunny and Bear I had made are beautiful reminders of cherished times with my mom who passed away. I love them so much I had some made for her great grandchildren and my sister. Thanks again Patchwork Bear!

I received the elephant as a gift and it was the most special surprise and gift I could have gotten! Unforgettable! I am so thankful for my elephant. It’s made well, very cute, and the person who got it for me had a good experience with the people who made it and got a lot of help from them during the process! Thank you so much for all that y’all do, it’s truly great work! I would recommend this service to people I know for sure.

See AllSee All

We love this sweet elephant! It is ideal to send two articles of clothing for the elephant (contrasting ears/tail look best) but we can also just use one item if it is child-sized 4T or larger.

His ears are hand-embroidered for added charm and safety. Measures approximately 9 inches tall x 10 inches wide.

Please allow 6-8 weeks to create your custom Memory Elephant.

What do birds and elephant have in common….

The scarf used belong to my sister who passed away 9 years ago..she had 2 sons and a daughter. The daughter will be getting married in June 2022. She did not want anything store bought as a wedding present, since I had my sister’s scarf I thought to have it used for the 3 birds, one for each of her kids… And an elephant….took photos of the scarf before I sent it to you…. That way they know it’s from their mom.. actually my niece has the same scarf but different color… I was going to give scarf away…good thing I asked her if it was her mom’s…

One of her sons had a daughter last year and she gets the elephant…. I hope they will like it..

And yes I loved the handmade keepsake..The birds and the elephant were all made wonderfully. I can feel the care and love that went into making them… thank you

so much…

Peace and love…

Patchwork Bear did a wonderful job on creating an elephant from my twin brother's clothes for our nephew, exactly as I requested. It is a great comfort to me that my nephew will have this reminder of his uncle.

I was nervous to send my 2 sons baby clothes in, shipping was fast, communication was great and the end result left me speechless. It is better than I ever imagined and an amazing way to cherish the memories of when my boys were babies.

The Original Memory Bear

10/24/2026

Holly C.

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.

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.
