Who doesn't feel like a princess in a mink coat. Fortunately this was a coat given to me by The HOB because the coat was damaged and the would have to have thrown it away. The HOB is a great Thrift Store which all of the proceeds go to the Vancouver Hospice Society to support hospice programs and services.
So what to do with a full length coat?? Make bears! Cute, but let's try something else.
These cuties are made out of a a different antique grey mink coat and the paw pads are the lining of the coat. This just gives you an idea of what mink teddies look like. They we're a custom order and have left our house.
How about a soft 20x20in pillow! I used the original lining of the coat too.
Black satin with velvet trim. Oh so nice. I have some left over furs from my Moms bear making..What a great way to use up these old fur coats.
I had to make another one! It is like hugging a teddy bear.
