The story of my handmade bears

Hello and thank you for stopping by!  

  I am called Jackie and I have been a professional bear maker / bear artist for over 10 years. I create my own patterns for my bears, highlands and other animals and spend hours creating patterns for new bears and clothing as well as fine tuning my techniques. I use fine quality materials for all my bears and love it when their unique characters come to life.  As each bear is hand sewn and hand finished they are all different and are truly one of a kind. I create bears and sew every single day - I just love it!     

I am fortunate to live in the Cumbrian Lake District in the UK with my husband and two children and living on the border of Scotland, I draw inspiration from the beautiful countryside and the range of gorgeous tweed fabrics and tartans available.

My handmade bears ship worldwide and I am fortunate to have wonderful UK and international customers and bear collectors from many different countries.

As a full time bear artist I continually create new designs so please check my website again for my latest creations or follow me on my social channels to see videos of me making my bears and latest creations.
