Frank's Tailor Shop, 275 8th St E, Owen Sound, ON N4K 1L2, CA

A love of sewing from an early age led to a career in the marine industry sewing for a boat manufacturer in the Owen Sound area. I started sewing and soon began designing and pattern making for the marine upholstery. We also offer horse blankets. When Pixie, my horse, became part of the family, I learned very quickly that horse blankets were expensive and always needed repairs, so I extended this service to my fellow horse owners. A long love of collecting stuffed animals and a desire to create was the background for our handmade teddy bear which are all made from re-purposed old fur coats. This decision comes from my love of animals and my belief that their legacy should not be discarded.
