JudyMade is a Thunder Bay, Ontario business specializing in handmade crochet toys, pet accessories, and sewn creations. The company’s roots trace back to the founder’s early interest in sewing, which began in childhood while growing up in Quebec. After moving to Thunder Bay in 1960, that passion for creating handmade items continued through clothing design, animal care work, and eventually the development of handcrafted products for both pets and children.

Drawing on years of experience working with dogs and horses, JudyMade established a line of durable dog accessories made with Canadian and North American-sourced materials. The business later expanded into crochet and soft toys inspired by the founder’s twin grandsons. Many toy ideas are developed from original concepts and handmade patterns, resulting in unique creations designed for young children. The toys are made using acrylic yarn, washable materials, and baby-safe stuffing, with no hard parts included for added safety. JudyMade sells products through its website, Facebook page, local markets, and select retail locations in Ontario.
