Keepsake Blazer Bears Bumper Year!

Posted on January 3, 2017 By Blazer Bear


The Blazer Bear workshop finished on a high for 2016 with a record number of keepsake bears being made. Our bespoke large bears continued to hold their appeal and our group order smaller bears proved very popular, meaning we were very busy making keepsake bears throughout the year!

We have made many bears this year not only from all the lovely school uniforms, but have made a number of memory bears from loved ones special clothing. Ones that have proved very popular are those made from tie collections. All our bears are special to make but some like these ones are extra special.

An increasing amount of schools have ordered bears for their leavers. We have often personalized each bear with each child’s name tape and   ‘leavers 2016’ has also been included to created a special keepsake for their time at school.

High on the list of bears we made were for departing headmasters/headmistresses, teachers and house masters/mistresses. One very special bear was one made for a housemistress given as a special gift from the leaving sixth form girls. They each supplied a nametape, and they were all sewn onto the bears back, with the housemistress’s nametape behind the ear of course! This made a very special keepsake and a great memory of the girls in her charge throughout their time at the school. Among the many others, another special keepsake bear was made for a leaving headmaster from the school blazer and all the different ties from the 12 Houses were incorporated in a scarf.

We very much look forward to another year in The Blazer Bear workshop – every year brings new and different keepsake bears to craft – we cant wait to get sewing! Thank you to all our lovely customers for their valuable support and our marvelous talented helpers. All the best for 2017!!

 

How did it start?

tplFriends since their first children were born, Pru and Kathy are two mums whose children are now at secondary school. As a special keepsake Pru made each of her children a teddy bear out of their old school Blazers. Kathy loved the concept so they joined forces and Blazer Bear. was born.  Find out more

How does it work?

Whether it be a blazer, school uniform, rugby shirts, precious clothing babygros, the list is endless. Everything is lovingly handcrafted entirely from what you give us. If it is a group school order you are after, we can often source the fabrics and even incorporate a school emblem Find out
