Replica Bears

Replace the irreplaceable  … lost or irretrievably damaged bears are heart-breaking, but they can be reincarnated.  All we need are photographs and a description of the fabric, size and weight of the bear!

Denim Bears

A bear from a pair of jeans … who hasn’t lamented the loss of a favourite pair. This is such a fun re-purposing.  We have made denim bears for years and each is utterly unique.
