A very well loved bear gets some repairs.

This is 'Pookey'.
He is one of the most well loved bears I have ever met.
He has arrived for a few repairs.
He has had multiple holes stitched up over his years and his stuffing is compacted all over.















 Pookey's main problem is that his eyes are tearing through his fur fabric. These are safety eyes and the two parts need to be separated to patch his fur properly.















Here is Pookey unstuffed, eyes out and ready to be patched.
His stuffing has been re-fluffed from it's ultra-compacted state.
















Here is Pookey ready to go home.
He has been patched, darned, re-fluffed and even had his smile touched up.
He still looks like a very well-loved bear but there is a limit to what his aging fur was going to be able to withstand!
