My name is Julia Aleshkina. I am the author and designer of textile soft toys. My ALTOYS project was born in 2010, which began as a simple hobby, and then outgrew the business of my life.

For 10 years I have been making toys, putting love in every stitch, trying and looking for new things, and also teaching others to find their way in creativity.

During this time, my soft stuffed animals found their homes not only in different Russian cities, but also around the world, and many needlewomen created their toys according to my sewing patterns and tutorials.
