Hi, my name is Moira thank you for taking the time to visit my shop.
I live in the North of England and have always loved sewing and crafting in general. I studied Textile design at Trent Poly (Nottingham University now, that's showing my age) and have a degree in woven fabric design. I unfortunately had to give up my career as support to students with educational needs when I developed an auto immune system condition. A mixed blessing as I now have more time to create and develop patterns for my bears.
Making bears started several years age when a friend of my daughter's asked if she could make her a bear as a keepsake. Since then many keepsake/memory bears have been made and this is where the name 'Born Again Bears' came from. Over the years I have gathered a considerable stash of fabrics, ribbons, braids and shiny things which I incorporate into my one off collectable bears so the name is still very appropriate and I still love making memory bears alongside the others. I enjoy giving things an alternative second life. The idea of creating more patterns in a variety of sizes and styles has lured me into opening this shop page. I hope you enjoy browsing through my creations and maybe even be tempted to own one.
During lockdown I became obsessed with creating a papier mache tree house which now is inhabited by tiny mice. Keep looking they will probably feature here at some point.
Thank you for the most beautifully created mouse. All jointed and very cute. Handwritten note included, packed safely to post and arrived very quickly. Perfect.
Beautifully made creations, even nicer than the pictures. Very collectable. Thank you for everything.
