yes, I've been! my parents used to take me every year for my birthday when I was really little- I think three times in total. I still have the old plushes! recently, though, I've only been once with one of my friends. we were out of town for a concert in 2022, were wandering around a tourist mall and decided to go in. I made a cute toothless build-a-bear!

I have been there a few times, and remember getting World Wildlife Fund cheetah and snow leopard plushies made there! Nowadays, from a technical standpoint, I find the process fascinating- that ladder stitch with the pull strings to close it shut by hand is pretty neat!

i love build a bear. i do think its a bit silly though. i don't see how they can get away with fifty dollars a bear. it seems very very pricey to me even as someone who has gone at least three times. i do like it though!! i just think bear prices are ridiculous /lh

I remember when I was a kid, I went to a birthday party at Build-A-Bear. Couldn't tell ya what I made, but the experience was a lot of fun! There's just something magical about customizing a plush in the store like that. The "bathtub" machine with the brush was always my favorite part.
My brother took me to BaB for my birthday just a couple years ago, to get the life sized bulbasaur plush! It's a little goofy going back as an adult, but it's still very fun. I still did the heart ritual and made him a birth certificate :P

I have been to Build-A-Bear! I got a purple bear, I think it was before there were more fun animal options? It was fun, I got a little purple dress outfit and I kinda wish I had gotten more outfits.

I've been a couple times when I was little! I have a husky with little pink wheeled shoes that I adored, and I think a regular teddy bear?

I have, but it was so long ago that I hardly remember how I felt about it, haha. I do remember loving the stuffed wolf I got there, though! I think it could be fun to go again, if I had some friends to go with :>

Just seen this and it's so cute omg I might have to pull out some old sewing bits if I can find them ~ in the meantime I'll answer some questions!

If so, what was your favourite project to work on?

Crafts are not so much a hobby of mine, just something I've dabbled in from time to time ever since sewing was part of my home ec class in school. I've done bits of sewing mostly for cosplay since, and I'd really like to do more of that down the line!

When I was small we went to Build-A-Bear a few times! It was definitely fun, though I don't fully remember all the details. I do still have all the plushes around somewhere! I did manage to track down this BaB dragon whose name I have unfortunately forgotten. She's probably about a decade old at this point!

Yep! Have definitely been. My first visit was during a meetup with an international friends group. (We're all 90s kids, so of course we had to go the mall to hang out!) We low-key peer pressured each other into all getting animals and recording voice clips for each other and stuff. Most of us still have our animals, tho the batteries in the sound chips have definitely run out.
I think I have.... 6? stuffies from them now. Maybe more. My favorite is the one that I take to travel to events, because my husband did the heart ceremony for that one. I'm low-key hoping to get the year-of-the-dragon plush this year, but I don't know when I'm going to get over to a mall. I know the internet is a thing, but buying them in person is more special.

Best thing about working with fabric scraps, you're never going to know what you'll get!
Managed to get the wing definition this time, but still ned to make a full sized one to compete the collection!
