Once the pattern pieces are complete, they go to one of our seamstresses to be sewn together. Each of the Blue Line Bears are sewn into 8 parts. A head, 2 ears, a body, 2 arms, and 2 legs are all sewn separately. The department patches and insignia, as well as the embroidered pieces are incorporated into the bear’s parts at this point. Eyes and Noses are sewn onto the head at this point as well. (They are made of the buttons from the shirt)

Following the sewing, joints are installed in the body, head, arms and legs, and each of the parts are stuffed individually, utilizing one of our 2 stuffing machines. After the parts have been stuffed, the seamstresses once again take the parts of the bear, and “close” seam them, as well as to sew the ears onto the head.

Final Assembly involves 2 team members assembling the bear with the joints, and then finishing it off with tying a St Michael’s Medal around the Blue Line Bear’s neck. A certificate is then printed with the bear’s number, and officer’s name. Bears are then delivered back to the family.

Total time necessary to make 1 bear is 9-10 hours of labor, plus processing time. There are many people involved in the making of each bear, and each bear is made with love, and detail! Being hand made, each bear is truly unique, and no portion of our bears are made in advance, or in bulk.
