Paddington Bear

Needlework

Paddington arrived tired and dusty. We deep cleaned the plush and restuffed so the bear holds his classic shape again.

The repair

This Paddington Bear needed a full plush refresh. We deep cleaned the fabric and restuffed the body so Paddington sits upright with even filling. Workshop photos document the plush before and after the restuff.
