What an absolutely amazing project this turned out to be! I crafted one large throw, along with two beautifully soft white mink pillows, a charming brown teddy bear, and an adorable white bunny. The throw was in excellent condition, which made it a pure joy to work with. For the teddy bear, I creatively repurposed the lining of a brown coat to fashion its ears, paws, and even a cute little tie. The luxurious white mink cape was transformed into two delightful 14 by 14 pillows and one cuddly bunny. The same soft lining was also utilized in the bunny's ears and paws, as well as its tie, adding a lovely touch. To complete the look of both stuffed animals, I used some elegant buttons from the cape, enhancing their overall charm.

I was contacted by a customer who wanted to turn their deceased wife's mink coats into teddy bears for his grandchildren. He had a particular style of bear in mind, but he wanted them all to look a bit different. The pattern that was used was the same for each of the bears, but their look is completely different. The pattern that I used was named Sebastian, and will make a 15 inches fully jointed traditional teddy bear.  They even have a small pattern for a shirt collar.  Although the pattern is designed for mohair I was able to use it for real fur. My final project measured approximately 14 inches due to the bulk of the real fur seams.

The fox trim was used in the belly area as well as the shaved down brown parts of the face and ears.

The Bunny pattern is quite cute. It is a traditional plush animal with non movable joints. Measures about 9 nines high.. The pattern can be purchased here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1384893435/adorable-bunny-rabbit-plush-diy-pattern?ref=yr_purchases.
