PRECIOUS
There are no words to describe my feelings when I opened the box and found what is the most "precious" keepsake anyone needs to have. The creativity of placing the fabrics and the workmanship is just SUPERIOR. I cannot wait until I have another bear for my "sister", which was her very favorite keepsake. This bear is a gift of LOVE. Thank you Jen for creating my keepsake. If anyone is missing that "special person" in their life they need to get in touch with Jen at Patchwork. You will not be disappointed. Thank you fran scapicio Holmdel

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 wearing my mother's 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.

A whole beautiful bear family...
I started by sending in clothes with an order for 1 bear. Jen then emailed me to let me know I sent enough clothes for a small family of bears. I increased my order to a total of 4 (and received a discount for the additional ones). I just received them. The bears are beautiful and well made. Each one is different. I couldn't be happier with the process, or the result!

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!

Friend Memory Bear.
I held on to these clothes for 29 years after Steven’s death. I decided I needed to do something with them instead of just sitting in my closet. I found The Patchwork Bear. They made this beautiful bear out of the 3 items I sent them. A flannel shirt I had bought him for the Christmas before his death, his fraternity pledge shirt and the wristband from when we played in the Bulls 3 on 3 tournament. I would recommend them to anyone that has clothes from a loved one.
