The Heart of the Studio

Memory Keepsakes
that last a lifetime.

Baby clothes that no longer fit. A loved one's favorite shirt. Sentimental fabrics that are too precious to throw away but too meaningful to just store in a box.

I transform them into memory quilts, stuffed animals, pillows, Tooth Fairy bags, and custom embroidered keepsakes — pieces you can hold, use, and pass down.

Mo, the seamstress and artist behind ToysByMo in Girdwood, Alaska
Hi, I'm Mo ♡
The Maker Behind the Stitch

A local artist,
a real small business.

I'm Mo — the seamstress, artist, and one-woman studio behind ToysByMo. I grew up sewing and never stopped. What started as a creative outlet turned into a full community of people who trust me with their most meaningful fabrics.

Whether I'm repairing a ripped snow jacket so it can see another Alaska season, or sewing a plush monster out of fabric scraps, every piece gets my full attention and genuine care. People buy from people — and I take that seriously.
