Sewing Children's Classic Toys
Sock monkeys, raggedy dolls, bunnies and bears, oh my! Sewing huggable stuffed toys for children for gift-giving or just-because is a delightful, surprisingly satisfying undertaking and serves as a message of love and caring to the recipient.

Sewing Soft Toys
No child can resist a huggable soft toy, especially one sewn with care just for that individual youngster. Whether bears, or bunnies, charmingly dressed mice, traditional rag dolls or enchanted characters from storybooks of old, children are delighted to have a clutchable treasure all their own.

Sewing Teddy Bears
Most teddy bears can be very easy to sew and are of course great for gift giving. A handmade one can add joy for any child or bring comfort in loss - they can be small or large, quick to sew and any wobbly seams or mismatched eyes only give creative character to a stitched toy made with love.
