Where to buy supplies near Coventry

[Fox_3149]

I am going to start making teddy bears, but as it will be my first one, I would like to go into a shop and look at patterns, kits and fabrics. I have searched the Internet but cannot find anything local. Does anyone know where I can go?I would be very grateful for any advice on this.

Thank you,

I live in Warwick =D

Hello =D

I dont think there is anywhere close. I havent found anywhere - yet. I use Christies for my bear supplies as well as Mohair bear making supplies (search it on google). Ebay has some good stuff. Christie bears kits and patterns are highly reccomended.

I only know of teddy bear shops in coventry and warwickshire, not of suppliers. If you can make it to any bear fairs, they often have stockists selling supplies - Hugglets next sunday will have a few bear making supplies tables.

Hope this helps :)

Christies is your best bet, its such a specialist thing though would'nt it be lovely to have a shop filled with bear supplies near by, its probably good for my bank balance there is not:D Though I would be in heaven. Hannah:6046:
