Repurposing Karen’s mink coat was a delight. The coat was in great shape. We made a lovely 50 by 58 inch throw. There was enough fur left to create two pillows. The 16 inch pillow used one inch strips with alternating fur directions. The 18 inch pillow came from the sleeve.

What a great project. Mike's coat belonged to his Aunt. He wanted a new lining, but we used the old lining on the pillows and used the monogram on the throw. The monogram was placed in the upper right corner of the backing. This coat's hood was so large I was able to make the throw 54 by 70 inches and even had enough to make two 18 inch pillows!
