Custom teddy bear hospital bear repair for Jack

Thank you for trusting me with your treasured doggy bear, I hope you are happy with the results.

1 x doggy bear came to the hospital for a refill and general spruce up, he had lost his stuffing so could no longer sit up. He was quite dusty so I unpicked his seams, removed and discarded his old stuffing then gave him a gentle bath. I didn't want to submerge him too much into the water but even so he does feel and look much cleaner.

Doggy bear had been washed in a previous life as his stuffing had milled up into balls, he looked as though he may have been through a washing machine.

A few little repairs to his legs where the seams had worn and a refill of stuffing. I have filled his legs and head quite firmly but left his body much looser as he is a floppy dog, his stuffing will relax in time giving him a more floppy look. Very difficult to know how much to stuff him as I don't know what he looked like when new.

I have sewn over his existing mouth thread with a matching brown thread so he now has his smile back.

Lastly I gave him a good brush, he has a curly pile fur, made more matted by a previous washing experience but he has had a good brush and I'm sure he feels much better now.

Costs, Bag of stuffing charged at £3

Labour - 1.5 days ( at reduced price of £18 per day) £27

Doggy bear will be sent back to his owner by 2nd class signed for parcel post and will require a signature upon delivery.
