Welcome to Sew Beary Nice!

My name is Pat Newman and I make personalized, hand-crafted items. I started making teddy bears about ten years ago and have grown my list of products to include fleece blankets, stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes, whimsical dolls, "taggies," and more! Crocheted items have also become popular and many hats, slippers and blankets are available.  I live in the Chicago area and make all of the items in my home. I also travel to several craft shows throughout the Chicagoland area during the year. (Click the Schedule" tab above to see where I'll be in the next few months.)

I have included pictures of items I have made in the past here on this site, but please note that some items may have been sold already. Please use the images on this site as a reference for what I can create. Also, everything can be personalized and made to order. I usually ask customers about a theme and the intended recipient in order to determine the fabric choices, colors, and other personalizations.
