Repairing an older mink coat
I have been given a beautiful dark Ranch full length mink coat with a full shawl collar. It's gorgeous but I found a small split at the top of the right sleeve, about 3-4 inches below the shoulder. I did a bit of research, went to JoAnns and bought self-adhesive felt squares. I opened up the lining of the seams, pressed the cut pieces into place to hold the fur in place. After hand-stitching the lining again, a day later I find the fur is lifting a bit from the adhesive! What now?
