- Blue Thimble
A custom sewing and alterations business in Charlottesville that repairs and duplicates stuffed animals alongside clothing, bridal, costume and soft furnishings. Duplicating is the unusual offer: they will make a second one, which is a different answer to a much-loved toy than repairing it.

- Stuffed Animal Clinic of Madison
Nicole repairs stuffed animals, fabric-bodied dolls and pet toys from a clinic in Madison, Alabama, taking work in by post and by local drop-off. She mends tears, holes, faces and limbs, cleans and brushes out matted plush, and makes memory bears and weighted bears, with prices published from $50 and free estimates.

- Right Proper Restoration & Repair
Deborah Castaldo runs a one-person stuffed animal restoration and repair service in New Hampshire. The pages crawled are mostly about how she works: the job is agreed in a written document first, photos are sent midway through, and there are no refunds once the work is done.
- NYC Lovey Repair
A mother-and-daughter stuffed animal repair service in New York, whose six-year-old president once said the business would run until she was a grown-up. Their work is lovely and their last post is from February 2013, announcing a brief hiatus until spring.
- Brigit Bears
A maker of memory bears and custom teddies who also takes in repairs of teddy bears and other soft toys, and turns vintage fur coats into jointed bears. The site is almost entirely gallery: there is no process, no price and no location anywhere on it.
How this list was built
Every entry was read off the business's own public pages. 1 of the 5 look untouched for years: a copyright several years old, a shop promising to reopen on a date that has passed, a page booked through a year that is over. We do not name which, because we have not asked any of them and being publicly guessed at is not something you should take from a stranger.
That rate depends on how you look. Businesses found by search alone are flagged at 38%; those found through trade lists and associations, 18%. Search rewards an old site with old links, so a list built only from search carries twice as many ghosts as one built from the trade itself.
