Unique leavers gifts

Posted on June 7, 2016 By Blazer Bear


This week we sent a large order of small bears which are to be leavers gifts to Wimbledon High School. There were 56 bears in total and each bear was made from the school sweatshirt and pretty green gingham. With so many to make we were able to source the fabric to match the school uniform and even have their logo embroidered on to the front of each bear.

Each small blazer bear had a blue scarf made from the school jumper and a leavers 2016 label stitched behind the ear. We thought the bundle of green bears looked gorgeous and hope the pupils will love their unique leavers gifts.

We have also been making 29 bears for St Hilary’s in Surrey. There are 14 large bears and 15 small bears made from their school kilt. The summer dress is incorporated as ears and yellow shirt as paws with a yellow scarf to finish each keepsake off. We have stitched their name tags behind the bears ears and look forward to completing them this week. As there were not quite enough skirts we were again able to source the kilt material to create enough leavers bears for all. We take a great deal of care to ensure the lines of tartan fabric are matched exactly to create a perfect neat finish.

Finally an order of small bears from Holy Cross School were also sent on their way to find their new homes. These were made from the summer uniform and had jumpers for scarves. We always add the name tag or as with some of these orders a name tag with the wording ‘leavers 2016’  stitched behind the ear.

We have attended lots of fairs recently and had a great day at the Old Vicarage School in London. Such a fun and friendly atmosphere and we took lots of orders for summer leavers. Our display bear we made for the day found a new home with the Headmistress complete with a Headmistress Award pin. This weekend we are at Somerhill School Fair and next weekend Rose Hill, Hilden Grange and Rokeby in London. Hoping the weather will last!

 

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
