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
Bunnies are a popular buddy! Here is another from arrival through complete recovery. She came from Indiana, also with companions. Now "She's perfect!" say her family.
 

 

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.

 

Before and After:
Snoopy Repaired and Cleaned

Snoopy arrived brown, with his neck hanging by a thread and no nose. His clothes were as dirty as he was! After a thorough surface cleaning for Snoopy and some minor surgery, he is white and fluffy, with a brand new nose. His clothes were soaked several times to remove the dirt as well.

"You did a fabulous job, he's better than ever!" say Snoopy's people in California

 

Before Back, Front and Back After:
Bear Repaired and Restored July 2010

This 30+ year old bear needed his fabric repaired, a new nose, and a good cleaning and fluffing.

 

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!

"They look like real antlers! The velvet is beautiful! Thank you so much!" Moose's friend, San Francisco
