Help! What to do with this?
So several years ago, I had this "bright" idea that I'd make a faux fur winter coat. Well, it turns out that when trying to sew the pockets on, it just won't go through any of my machines, it's too thick. I tried a walking foot (which I think I accidently just broke) and tried their suggestions of loose tension, larger stitches, and lower the feed dogs, and none of it works, and I've decided I'm giving up on the project. The basic parts of the jacket are put together, but the coat is so oversized (back then I didn't know much about sizing), that it could easily be cut up and used for something else, but I don't know what. I thought about cat mats for the shelter, but they only want knitted, crocheted, or fleece mats. I don't know what to do with all this faux fur. It's real nice stuff, a silver fox color, and I'd like to do something besides just donate it, but I don't know what, any thoughts on this would be real helpful........
