Tin Soldiers designs by Megan Wallace

Megan has been designing and making teddy bear kits and patterns since the early 1990s. She has recently started branching into other animals and dolls too. As the resident artist at Tin Soldiers, she's in the ideal position to hear what people like when they select a pattern, and tries to make her designs accordingly. If you have any suggestions for patterns that you would like to see in the Tin Soldiers range, do let us know!

The newest Tin Soldiers patterns are printed in a booklet form, with lots of illustrations and photographs with the instructions. Our pattern sheets are also computer drawn, super neat and accurate. These patterns will soon be available as e-patterns. In time we will also convert some of the old favourite patterns to this format. To find out more, contact Megan.

To order patterns and kits, or if you have a question for the artist, please email Megan.
