Elisabrat,
This is a 'repurposed' mink teddy. I am making 4, 14" teddy bears out of my mother's old mink coat that was left to me some 30 years ago. I decided it needed mending, or better yet (after long contemplation to cut it up!), 'repurposed' into mink teddy bears, one for each of my mother's great grandkids. I think they're dubbed, "Teddy Bears with a Past" or "Memory Bears". Here's a previous QB link that has a (similar) picture,
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ear-t6177.html. The ones I'm making will be in black mink and I'm just now starting on the sewing (w/lots of hand sewing grrrr), after completing cutting all the pattern pieces and applying backing for reinforcement. Also, I think you can pick up decent old mink coats off of ebay, estate sales, and such, if you are looking? The deer camp is our weekend getaway place where, uh, lets just say, there are lots of deer (ie, deer camp).
Aboslutely tons of great packages received this month!
