Bring your favorite stuffed animal to the free walk-in consultation for stuffed animals and dolls that need some extra care. Femke is happy to repair holes, reattach loose limbs, provide extra stuffing, and replace eyes or noses.

Femke Wijman is the maker behind Mama Poppendokter and specializes in restoring and repairing beloved stuffed animals and dolls. From a child’s favorite stuffed animal to a birth teddy bear over 100 years old, or a doll that has been in the family for generations: each piece requires attention, craftsmanship, and respect for its original character. Restoration includes repairing damaged fabric, fixing seams, tears, and loose parts, renewing stuffing, cleaning delicate materials, and carrying out careful restorations. It is not only about technique, but also about preservation: of shape, appearance, signs of use, and emotional value. In this way, stuffed animals and dolls are given a second life, without losing their own character.
