Now only 8 sewing slots remaining in 2026 😳

September and early October is now fully booked.

Just a heads up...I now have only 9 sewing slots available for the rest of 2026, so if you are thinking of bears for a gift please contact me sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

(PS, I can only make 2 (3 max), bears per sewing slot as I won't rush them)

This lovely little chap has now made his way back home via The Little Shop of Handmade Loveliness in Lancaster. Made from the first set of outgrown baby clothes of this little boy. This one was weighted to baby's birthweight and personalised with birth details.

Another lovely review received recently. Thank you Chris 🥰.

Reviews like this really make my heart sing, and are so important to potential customers looking for a maker that is right for them.

If you are the proud owner of one of my creations and haven't yet left a review I would be ever so grateful if you could take a few mins to write a couple of sentences, it really would mean the world.

Thank you 🐻 xx

If anyone would like to see examples of my work before committing feel free to pop into The Little Shop of Handmade Loveliness in Lancaster where you can see some of my bears in the flesh!! Tell the lovely ladies in there I've sent you and they'll be more than happy to assist 🐻🥰

Now open on Mondays. Even more time to take in the Loveliness of this Aladins cave.

When my kids left primary school 15+ years ago all their friends signed their sweatshirt.

Is this still a thing????

I know our signed sweatshirts hang in the wardrobe in the spare bedroom and have probably only seen the light of day when we moved house! But there is no way I'll ever part with them.

So, how about a basic bear made from your child's plain school shirt/polo/sweatshirt for them to take in on the last day for everyone to write their good luck messages on and sign? I could also incorporate the school logo and add your child's name if wanted.

Wouldn't it be lovely for your child to have their signed bear on display in their room as a permanent reminder of special times gone by?

This idea would also work for a "guest book" at a wedding, 18th, 21st, etc.

What do you think? 🤔 💭 🤔

(Bear pictured is one I made from a school uniform, a signature bear would be less busy giving more space for those special messages).
