Every bear so far

7 bears, finished and gone to the people they were made for. 3 came out of supporters’ kit, 1 out of a cot sheet, 3 were made new and dressed. Yours will not look like any of them.

Showing all 7 bears.

A teddy bear sewn from a blue Stormers rugby jersey and cap, with the Vodacom Super Rugby badge on its chest — The Stormers bear

Cut from a match jersey and the cap that went with it. The badge sits where a badge should sit, because the panels were placed before a stitch went in.
