The Purple Saurus ​Team!
Rachel
Owner & Crafter Extraordinaire
Hello everyone! I was born in Bristol in 1990, and I've been making cuddly toys since February 2015. I've always had a huge love of soft toys, which is what inspired me in the first place, so I absolutely love what I do! Aside from this, I'm a pretty handy baker, and enjoy watching football, going to gigs, and researching my family history. Oh, and I'm also a huge dog lover :)
Saurus​
CEO
Every decision on the business has to be approved by this guy! The brand is named after him, the logo is a caricature of him, and if it weren't for him "The Purple Saurus" would not exist.
He is a "Splodgeosaurus", 22" tall and has a particular liking for sitting in or on cardboard boxes! He also likes to guard things, so he's quite handy to have around when there are important patterns or fabric to be taken care of! He isn't able to run the website or social media accounts as he's not really equipped for typing, which can make him grumble occasionally. Saurus is quite a cheerful chap though, and is more than happy to supervise from his box whilst being used as a sofa by some of the others :)
Teddy
Mischief Maker in Chief
Made in February 2015, Teddy is the first soft toy I ever made from a proper pattern, so he is extremely special. He's made from an old cream jumper of mine and a brown fleece that I pillaged from a charity shop. He is a little under-stuffed, I got his front legs mixed up, and he's far from perfectly stitched, but we wouldn't have him any other way! Being the most mobile of the bunch, he tends to get up to mischief on behalf of the others - we're fairly convinced he's behind all the mysterious crumbs...
Teddy is especially fond of sitting on either my or James' head to get a good look at what's going on! He also loves to watch rugby :)
