make a teddy bear with
jayne soule


Jayne is a qualified clothing designer by trade and has always enjoyed making things by hand. Jayne used to make rag dolls and quilts to sell when she was a teenager. She always had a great love of antique and vintage dolls, toys and teddy bears and it was a natural thing for Jayne to have a go at making bears too. Jayne started making bears about 15 years ago and has sold at various fairs as well as offering bear making workshops when she was living in Cape Town, South Africa.
