Samples of Repaired Stuffed Animals
Our motto is the same as people doctors': first do no harm. We will not begin work on your stuffed animals without your preapproval. We do not remove existing fur, no matter how worn, but rather apply a new layer, recovering the animals and strengthening them. Stuffed animals are more complicated than Raggedies, because they come in such a broad range of colors, but we try to match new furs to your memories of your friend's original coloring. And remember, I won't do anything to your animals that I wouldn't do to my own.

Before and After: A Bunny from Georgia This small, 8" terry bunny needed new ears, new stuffing, a full recovering, and new nose stitching. Her young mistress sent her with toys, two friends, and a Halloween costume! She's happily back in Georgia now.
Before and After: Another Bunny, April 2008 Bunnies are a popular buddy! Here is our latest from arrival through complete recovery. She came from Indiana, also with companions. Now "She's perfect!" say her family.

Before Back, Front and Back After: Bear Repaired and Restored Feb.2007 This bear hand puppet was worn through so that you could see his puppeteer's hand. He was recovered in a fabric that his person said matched his original color, restoring him to like new condition while maintaining his personality!
Before and After: Moose Antlers
This moose was in fairly good shape. He had a few seams that needed
resealing, but mostly, the trouble was with his antlers. They were made of
thin felt and had worn through. We recovered them in a stronger, brighter,
panne velvet and he's as good as new! |
My Teddy Bear!
I was inspired to learn teddy bear repair when, 15 years ago, the local bear hospital wouldn't touch my teddy bear. You can see how I've rejuvenated him myself below.
