5 out of 5 starsThis is hands down the most adorable plush I've ever seen. It is so well made and you can immediately tell crafted with love. When I opened it up my first instinct was to want to keep it for myself! It is much bigger than you'd imagine, and I love that it is just the right balance of brightness and pastel. It is going to go perfect in my baby Chloe's nursery. We'll be using it as a decorative piece until she's old enough to play with it. Thank you for all the personal touches you put into this!

5 out of 5 starsI did a custom order and am thrilled with the results! The creator sent me pictures of fabric swatches based off my request, and I picked out my favourites. The rest was left up to Alicia's artistic integrity, and her design and skill did not disappoint!
The shop owner was very friendly and professional in correspondence and completed the project in the requested timeframe.
I will definitely be a return customer for any similar products. I highly recommend theblindstitchshop to anyone looking for an adorably cuddly creature that comes with a unique backstory. Worth every penny!

Dolls and Foxes and Elephants, Oh My!!
I was first inspired to begin my sewing company when I went to school in Halifax Nova Scotia. I received my BFA from NSCAD University in 2008. I was overwhelmed by the craft culture in Halifax and decided to immerse myself in sewing upon my return to Ontario.
I've had a passion for sewing, since my first time using a sewing machine at age 13. After University, I started making softies with the intent to give them away as gifts. They were all so well received that I continued to make more, and the demand for softies quickly snowballed.
I am influenced by all critters and by unique individuals. I design all my own patters and make each of my softies one-of-a-kind so that none are exactly alike. Each softie starts as an idea and after some research, brainstorming and fabric shopping I get started with a pattern.
I hand pick my fabrics to match each animal or doll I create. After sewing and stuffing I add fine details to help bring their individual personalities to life. As a kid my most loved doll came with a name and a birthdate that I celebrated every year. I wanted to give my customers that kind of connection with their softies. Each one comes with a name and a cute or funny short story to jump start their character.
