The look on a small boy’s face when his beloved soft toy has been painstakingly sewn back together: priceless

    True! Except when mummy can't sew... (you know what I'm talking about) and then there's always seamstresses...

    So true. My mother stiched together an old comfort toy for my oldest a while back. Well actually remade the doll, as it was worn to shreds!
