Anyone know a good seamstress to mend well loved cuddly toy

[Fidgetsmum]

I have posted this in the Wanted section... but as it's toy related...

As much as I love my dog, and as much as I'm actually in my thirties, to see him tearing a hole out of my beloved panda which I've had since I was a newborn, reduced me to tears, and then my own daughter to tears, as she had recently adopted him.

I'm looking for a seamstress with experience of fixing toys to re-stuff Panda (imaginative name, I know) with safe modern stuffing and patch up the hole. The dog ate some of the outside, so I think it'll be a patch job, rather than just a sew back together job.

Panda, I should point out isn't worth anything monetary wise, it's a purely sentimental wish to get him fixed. And although I can sew a bit, my skills would lead him to resemble Frankenstein's monster, rather than a Panda.

Anyone know anyone that might help? Please?
