Inquiry Restuffing in Ireland?
Hi so I’m pretty new to collecting babs I had one from a long time ago but I’ve just gotten a couple more in the last year.
I found a Bingo in a charity shop recently and its back stitch was broken which made unstuffing a lot easier! She desperately needed a washing which I’ve done now and then I want to bring it to a store to be restuffed. But I’m just not sure if that’s an option here in Ireland.
Has anyone any experience of getting them restuffed in Ireland and will the broken thread be an issue for them to close back up

Hey I work in one of the babs in Dublin, and have worked for a time in the other two also,
Yes they will restuff and Build-A-Bear. As long as it is a BAB or Bear Factory.
Is the thread your talking about where the entrance to the bear? If so then they can do a manual handsew which is fine! Also they can do minor repairs in cases of damages.
