The teacher who created the recycled wool mittens that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders wore to the presidential inauguration \u2014 engendering countless memes \u2014 is partnering with the Vermont Teddy Bear Company to create a whole mitten line to meet soaring demand, with some of the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Vermont.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t be more thrilled, because I personally can\u2019t make 18,000 pairs of mittens,\u201d Jen Ellis said Saturday, estimating how many people have contacted her. \u201cEverybody will get their mittens \u2014 everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellis, a Vermont elementary school teacher who has a side business making mittens out of recycled wool, gave Sanders a pair as a gift, and he wore them to President Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration. His fashion look, also featuring a winter jacket made by Burton Snowboards, sparked countless memes prompted by the photo taken by Agence France-Presse: The former presidential candidate could be found on social media<\/a> timelines taking a seat on the subway, the moon and the couch with the cast of \u201cFriends,\u201d among other creative locales.<\/p>\n

Sanders raised at least $1.8 million in merchandise for charities stemming from the Jan. 20 image of him seated with his arms and legs crossed, clad in his brown parka and the recycled wool mittens. Sanders put out so-called \u201cChairman Sanders\u201d merchandise, including T-shirts, sweatshirts and stickers, on his campaign website.<\/p>\n

Vermont Teddy Bear, which makes handcrafted bears for all occasions, including a Bernie one, reached out to Ellis to see if she\u2019d be interested in partnering.<\/p>\n

\u201cJen is going to work hand-in-hand \u2014 mitten-in-hand \u2014 with each one of our designers\u201d to ensure that the \u2018Bernie mitten\u2019 design in multiple patterns is produced in a way that meets her standards of quality, said Hayes McCarthy, vice president of product innovation, brand creative and consumer experience. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be in the mittens category.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear when the first mittens would be available for purchase. Those interested in getting a pair can leave an email at the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

In the past, Vermont Teddy Bear has made special bears to raise money for Make-A-Wish Vermont, and recently gave office space to the organization for $1 a year, said James Hathaway, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Vermont. Hathaway said the charity lost $250,000 in revenue during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so grateful to Vermont Teddy Bear, Jen, and of course to Bernie for being so Bernie,\u201d Hathaway said in a statement.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
