My Favorite Things - Patchwork Bear Giveaway!

What do you do with your child's baby clothes that you don't want to get rid of, because they're tied to wonderful memories, but all they're doing is sitting in a box in a closet? Patchwork Bear is the answer! This company is one of my mom's absolute favortie finds. The idea is simple, and yet, completely genius. Send them your child's baby clothes and Patchwork Bear will turn them into a stuffed bear or quilt! Such an incredible way to bring those baby clothes out of the closet and give them new life as a family heirloom. Patchwork Bear will also embroider your child's name and birthdate onto the bear's foot!

My mom just sent them my Christening gown, coming home from the hosptial outfit, bib from my first meal and some other important pieces - we can't wait to see the finished bear! A gift certificate to the Patchwork Bear also makes a fantastic baby shower gift!



"The Patchwork Bear was founded by Jennifer Cura in 2004 after combining her skill as an architect with her love of sewing to produce a product line of handmade products that are as unique and personal as those who own them. Her line has grown fom a simple baby quilt and matching bear to include: tooth fairy pillows, photo memory quilts, wedding dress quilts, custom bears and full nursery design. Like her children, the company is growing but remains true to the initial concept of offering original, thoughtfully designed products that are handmade with love in the USA."



One lucky winner will get a gift certificate for a KEEPSAKE MEMORY CLOTHES BEAR KIT ($98)! Open to US residents. Winner will be chosen on Thursday, September 6th. To find out more about the Patchwork Bear and all of their wonderful keepsakes, visit www.thepatchworkbear.com.

Good luck! Love, Hayden

  3. I really want to turn his newborn 'frog' clothes, since we still sing..."Jeremy was a bullfrog" to him. And at least one of his sleepers. I was about to hand me down all of his clothes (except the frog stuff), but then saw this...I better get some stuff out of that box.

  10. I think I would actually choose some things from both my son and daughter's baby days to make into a bear so that I have something to cherish from their births for a long time.
