Pam has been hand making bears since 1984.

Heritage Bear was born out of love and nostalgia. After the birth of her first son, Pam began crafting bears to keep him company, using her sewing skills to create something special. This hobby quickly grew into a passion for Pam, as she saw the joy and comfort these handmade bears brought to her family and friends. Today, Heritage Bear transforms cherished materials from loved ones into unique, hand-crafted keepsakes. Instead of storing clothing and blankets away in attics, Pam up-cycles them into bears that can be loved, played with, and treasured for a lifetime. These bears evoke stories and memories, preserving history in the form of a huggable friend.

Keepsake bears,

from heartfelt memories.

Your bear will be approximately 14 inches when sitting and is fully jointed, allowing for movable arms, legs, and head. We craft bears using a variety of materials, including jeans, flannels, wool, fur coats, and cotton t-shirts and blankets. Please note that we cannot use silk or stretchy knits.
