Laura's cross-cut mink coat to be transformed into ???
 |
| Unfortunately most of this coat can not be used to create a teddy or other animal. Why? Because the majority of the coat is a chevron pattern where just a small strip is fur and the largest area is leather. |
 |
| The leather strips are wider than the fur strips. |
 |
| Inside of coat ... thin strips of fur and leather sewn together in a chevron pattern. |
 |
| There are larger pelt areas that can be used: the collar, the cuffs, the shoulders, the upper back. |
 |
| I will need to cut the coat apart to see how much fur I have to work with |
 |
| I'm not sure what I will be making using this cross-cut mink. I will make some suggestions and Laura will have to decide. |
Cutting coat apart:
 |
| The body of the coat already makes a nice mink throw! |
 |
| This is what I have left to use to make a mink creature ... obviously something black and white. A panda? A skunk? Any other ideas? |
