Share our wonderful Bears with the world

Not only have we been busy completing our large group orders for leavers we have also been sending lots of individual orders off to their new homes. We love the variety of keepsake bears we are asked to make and the last few weeks this has been no exception!
We have had several orders to make bears from clothing lovingly signed by friends on the last day of school! Comments and pictures from good friends with touching sentiment or funny drawings cover dresses, shirts and ties. As is often the case these penned special articles are much loved but tucked away in drawers for years to come. By using these garments and creating a keepsake bear, these memories can be kept alive!

Small keepsake bears made from school uniform filled our workshop last week! The little bears were as a result of a group order for leavers from a sixth form in Newcastle. We introduced this option for orders of 10 or more and they have proved a popular and affordable option for schools to give their pupils as leavers gifts!
The main body of the keepsake bears were made from the very smart bottle green skirts and the paws were created from the sky blue shirts and the ears with the gorgeous blue gingham material.

Keepsake bears are being sent all over the country. As we make more and more keepsake bears the range of requests and ideas continues to grow! We have loved seeing so many different uniforms and the ideas for their use. We try to make sure every keepsake bear is unique and so to,the way we use the material. We always try to make sure we as far as possible fulfil the wishes of our customers. We recently made a lovely bear which was a combination of a girl’s prep school and grammar school uniform. It was a great way to combine all the school memories into one bear.
Recently we made two lovely Blazer Bears for Ardingly School. The first was made from the gorgeous green blazer and we used the tie with the Ardingly School emblem on for the ears and paws. We then used the tracksuit with … Read more of this post
This week we celebrated Australian Day in the Blazer Bear workshop, as we are busy making our keepsake bears! One of us is a native Australian but we both have close family living in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne! As they are sweltering in their summer sunshine we can’t help get a little wistful for family BBQ’s, days on the beach and the general outdoor life. Currently we are looking at wind, rain and even hail outside the workshop window!
Australia Day historically commemorates the arrival of the first British Fleet to arrive at Sydney Cove. Nowadays it is more a day of celebration of unity reflecting the diverse society and landscape of Australia. Families and communities around the country celebrate the day and it is the larges annual civic event. It is also marked by the presentation of the Australian of the Year Awards on … Read more of this post
