Dressable teddies in stylish outfits
Welcome to my shop/world full of original teddy bears.
Knitting and crocheting has been part of my life since very young age. My mom taught me the basics of knitting as a child. My first creations were cardigans, pullovers, hats, scarves for my dolls and plushies. I started knitting for myself as a teenager, followed by crocheting, having been fascinated by my friend's laced cardigan with plastic flowers ;)
I made my first amigurumi teddy for my daughter in 2016 and I immediately fell in love with this art form. It was really nice, yet I somehow felt it was incomplete. So I knitted a sweater, hat and scarf for him, so he would not get cold – the same way I used to dress my dolls when I was a child :) That's how my first dressed up teddy bear was born.
Why Tift ? My son, when 2 years old, used to give new names to everything and everyone. He used to call me Tift – that's how my art name came to be ;)
My teddies are collectible art, they have movable limbs and head, some of them are dressable. They are made mostly of natural materials. The dresses and colors are nicely matched, they strive to develop fine taste and appreciation for arts.
