A few facts about Leap Year...
- 'Leap Day' is February 29th, which is an extra day added during a Leap Year, making the year 366 days long. This day was added when it was discovered that the Earth didn't quite orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.
- Leap Year occurs every 4 years.
- It's a popular day for women to propose to men, instead of demurely waiting for their beloved to get on bended knee.
- A person born in a Leap Year on the 29th February may be called a "leapling" or a "leaper"!

Our Newest Steiff-Schulte Mohair DIY Kit
Fleur - a 20cm standing Dragon-Bear
→ Click here to find Fleur kits & patterns on our website.
Fleur — our friendly Dragon — is a delightful, likeable character, who enjoys the beauty and fragrance of flowers. With a brightly coloured 'coat', indicative of her cheerful personality, her endearing appeal is in stark contrast to the often-portrayed, typical fire-eating monsters
A standing dragon, she is 20cm tall and created from Steiff-Schulte Mohair and mini velvet, thus providing an interesting contrast in textures. Her limbs and head are jointed, she has glass eyes, an embroidered nose, mouth and claw detail.
The lace trim and mini buttons, as well as the instructions on how to make her fabric flowers with optional blanket-stitched edging and the frill on her spine are all included in her kit.
We're sure that Fleur will add interest and variety to your collection of teds.
Kit (excludes filling) is R225 incl VAT

Tapered Tailors Awl
→ Click here to view the Tapered Tailors Awl product page.
Why use a tapered awl?
Simply because it is a very handy tool to have to make the correct size hole in your fabric without damaging the fibres. As it is tapered from a fine point to a wider diameter, it will, by separating the fabric strands, make the required hole small or large enough for the glass eye loops or cotter pins/locknuts to pass through.
This awl comes with a sturdy wooden handle as well as a plastic protective sheath to cover and protect the tip.
Only R40 each (excluding postage)
