Small Keepsake Bears
We have just delivered 15 small bears and 2 large keepsake bears to new owners at Holy Cross School in Kingston and were so pleased to hear how much they loved their new Blazer Bears!
One of the mums of the Year 6 leavers had seen us at a Rokeby School Fair locally and contacted us after Christmas. It was all brilliantly organized and once all the items were collected they were sent to us with nametags and badges included.
The small bears were made from the school summer uniform with their winter kilt uniform used for the ears and paws. We created a scarf for each keepsake bear from the school cardigan and the name tags which were too large to stitch behind the ear, were sewn on the back of the bears. All small bears are made identically but each has their own little character as each is handsewn.
The larger bears were made from the Holy Cross School Blazer and the dress, skirt and cardigan were all incorporated as ears and paws and scarves.
Finally, the embroidery of the school emblem was organized by the school via Alleycatz, who supply the school uniform for Holy Cross. This was the perfect final touch to these Blazer Bears. We are now able to source not only the material for most schools but also the embroidery of emblems and badges. We are also able to supply name tags and pin badges.
The bears were individually packaged and delivered to their new owners. We were over the moon to hear how much the children loved their bears:
“We have an eruption of manically excited and delighted 11 year olds in Surrey Today. Bears a roaring success. They were absolutely LOVED to pieces. Thank you.”
We absolutely loved making these keepsake bears and we are starting on our next group order of 35 large bears! The material being used for these Blazer Bears has been ordered via the manufacturer, as they want the bears before the end of term. It is a gorgeous Venetian stripe and we can’t wait to get started!
Friends 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
