Amanda Middleditch is a British textile conservator and restorer, though her exact date of birth and details about her parents are not widely publicly available. She developed an early passion for sewing and restoring soft toys, which later shaped her career.

She trained in textile restoration and eventually co-founded a specialist business restoring teddy bears and fabric heirlooms. Her work focuses on preserving sentimental value while carefully repairing fragile materials.

Middleditch gained national recognition as a specialist on The Repair Shop, which began airing on BBC Two in 2017 before moving to BBC One.

On the show, she works alongside colleague Julie Tatchell, restoring cherished soft toys brought in by members of the public. Their emotional restorations have become some of the programme’s most memorable moments.

She lives in the UK and continues to run her restoration business while appearing on television, keeping her personal life largely private.
