I have been creating individual miniature, mohair, and alpaca hand-sewn teddy bears since 1996. In the beginning I created mostly small and tiny teddy bears which fit in the palm of my hand (‘barely’ bears) but have evolved my pattern over the years to include a variety of sizes.

My bear pattern is based on traditional, older style bears and features a prominent back, longer arms, a more prominent snout and larger feet. Each bear is unique while clearly belonging to the same family.

I use mohair and alpaca as the main furs for the large bears, and mini bear fabric for the smaller ones, finishing off with ultrasuede for paw pads; boot buttons or beads for eyes; and hand-stitched nose and mouth features. The bears are stuffed with polyester fibre fill or Australian downs wool stuffing (check individual listings for details).

The bears come with a swing tag listing their name, date of birth, and materials used. They are signed on their left foot with 'Bearly Bears' and their year of birth.

Because the bears contain small parts they are not suitable for children under 14 years of age and care should be taken to ensure children cannot swallow any small items should they come loose due to excessive wear and tear.

I hope you love my bears as much as I do.
