Welcome !
Hello and welcome to my site. I am an artist and crafter of of soft toys and teddy bears. I adore making things that are original. Part of my professional life was managing property that included a flea market and antique center. I was in the right place for collecting and salvaging old things that provided me with quite a collection of treasures to use in my creative moments. Recycled and vintage fur and fabrics gave me the spark to begin making teddy bears. I read Margaret Hutchings "Book of the Teddy Bear" and decided to design a pattern that would allow me to craft soft toys from fur as well as fabrics. I have been hooked ever since.
"The right bear for the right person, strong sewing and a sense of fun and enjoyment without which toy-making is an impossibility, will ensure success!"
Margaret Hutching, 1964
