I have a fur coat that I've planned to use for bears. Even have the pattern, that's been years ago start project still waiting for me do. I made rabbits out of a white fake fur coat one Easter, fun but alot of work.

This photo reminded me of an event about 30 years ago. I had a fake fur black coat, nowhere near as great as real mink, but people assumed it was. It looked just like the bears. I had a lot of trouble at church and was almost ready to wear a sign saying it was fake fur instead of defending myself every minute. Anyway a little boy came up and said "Is that a real coat?" I honestly answered "Yes, it is a real coat" and giggled. That made me feel better long enough to sell the coat. I really liked its warmth and softness, but couldn't take the hate. So that was the last "real coat" I ever had . unless you count wool as real too Hope the bears are loved.

Those are great bears!! I have a fur jacket and coat -- this is something for my bucket list.

Your teddy bears are adorable!!! How difficult was the fur to work with? I'd like to do this, but I've never made a stuffed toy and starting with a fur one is rather daunting!

They are so cute and I know the ggkids will cherish them. Thanks for sharing.

They are adorable!!! What a wonderful way to use up her old furs. I have no idea what my mom did with her mink coats...I'll have to ask her.

Beautiful! What a wonderful and appropriate repurposing of the fur. I would even love to have a (repurposed)mink teddy bear.
