Welcome to Clayton Bears, home to cloth bears full of character.

Hello, my name is Sue Newlands and I have been making bears for 25 years.

Clayton Bears began in 2000, when I was living in the West Yorkshire village of Clayton West. I designed and made traditional, jointed mohair bears and sold almost 1000 bears over those years before taking a short break from sewing.

I have now returned to my sewing room to make these little cloth bears which have the same character, expressions and clothing as my bears of old. Made from a cotton-linen fabric, with sewn in arms and legs, glass beads for eyes, and embroidered nose and mouth, I am hoping that one may find its way into your bear collection, or maybe as a gift or keepsake for someone special. I rarely repeat a design and most are single edition bears.

Thank you for visiting my shop.

Please note that my bears are not suitable for babies or children aged under 14 years due to small parts.
