The Repair Shop: Suzie Fletcher restores leather folder<\/h3>\n

The Repair Shop\u00a0stars\u00a0Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell were given the task of fixing Wol the owl during a classic episode of the BBC series. However, the teddy was far worse off than they had originally thought.<\/p>\n

As she walked into the barn, the guest explained: “I have brought my owl, he is a bit damaged and very tatty.<\/p>\n

“I remember getting Wol for Christmas when I was just two. I remember waking up on Christmas morning at my grandma’s house and looking over and Wol was in the top of the stocking and it was just love at first sight.<\/p>\n

“Wol is a bit of a talisman for me and connects me to my grandmother because she fixed him so often.<\/p>\n

“Even though I lost her, I kind of hold him and I’ve still got her and yeah that’s very special. For me, part of his mankiness makes him, so I don’t want him back in any way perfect, I would like him to be future-proof.”<\/p>\n

Amanda told the guest that he would be in safe hands, before saying goodbye and getting a closer look at the owl.<\/p>\n

She explained: “Oh Wol look at you, he is definitely going to need lining. I think to keep that nice, soft squishiness we’re going to need to use fleece.<\/p>\n

“The felt pieces on him need renewing, so beak, feet and maybe just tidy up around the eyes,” before Julie added: “Dear little Wol.<\/p>\n

“He is so sweet, I’m looking to see the best way to open him up to remove all his old stuffing then we will be able to line him.”<\/p>\n

Getting to work Amanda soon admitted: “I’ve got the felt pieces of Wol here. I’ve got the feet, the beak and the eyes.<\/p>\n
