Suzanne's Brown and Black Mink Striped Coat Transformed into a Throw and a Pillow

.Suzanne's coat was by far my most challenging project yet! When the coat was finally deconstructed, I noticed that the flare around the bottom was exceptionally wide and dramatic. Initially, I planned to use darts to help keep the stripes as straight and consistent as possible, but I realized that doing so would have caused me to lose a significant amount of valuable fur. Instead, I decided to use strips of fur. The real challenge was to carefully continue the stripes in such a way that it looked like a single, continuous line, rather than a patchwork of different pieces. In the end, the throw measured 48 by 55 inches, and the customer also selected a coordinating 18 by 18 inch pillow to complete the set.
