That was just wonderful what beautiful pieces of art you make!❤

Did you do bear the original size.

Your fur machine is that like a serger.

Dinah, you are truly a master of your craft. I've watched all of your videos on repurposing fur... Thank you so much for documenting the entire process. I have a couple of coats that I do not wear but cant bear to let go of, your videos are the exact type of instruction I was looking for. Thank you so much and please continue making excellent quality goods from beautiful materials. All the best. x

I clean musk scents out of my fur with 100 proof alcohol. I dilute the alcohol with 20 percent water, I mist the lining let it dry and then I do the outside. I mist until the scent is gone. It can take a few times. I allow to dry before I go in again. I focus on places sweat accumulates such the behind the neck and under the arms. Then you could put it with coffee or unstoppable just to give it a nice scent But to be honest the alcohol by itself works great. Some people use vodka. I find that vodka helps to bring the musk scent to the surface followed by the high proof alcohol that eliminates the odour causing bacteria and evaporates the moisture. I try my best not to soak the actual leather.

Way easier than I expected lol I will be trying this!

Thank you for sharing this process with us! I have a fur from my mother and my girls and I have thought of making a throw from it. It's not a full length though we'll see..... Respect your detail and process.

Stunning!

So cute nice job

This was my first time working with Dinah! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her craftwomanship! All I had to do was send her the three faux blankets to try and ended up that the best match was the first one she suggested anyway! I completely trusted her judgement on matching the stripe pattern and choosing the backing. She is such an artisan and professional. If I ever find a good deal again on a forlorn fur that needs a new job keeping us snuggly while watching TV, it will go straight to Dinah. Since let’s face it, most of us just don’t wear furs every day and there are so many furs out there that are out of date or we’d just never dream of wearing. Recycling / repurposing a fur just seems to make more sense to me than buying a new one or just letting an old one go unused. So happy to have found you, Dinah!

I am so excited and can’t wait to see it in person! Dinah, you were so lovely to work with. I love that you do these videos! Really gives a person confidence while they are deciding on sending their fur to you. To see your process and to be walked through everything is amazing! It just looks wonderful and I am so happy that I’ll actually be able to make use of this fur now. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!

I'm so glad you uploaded this.😊 I love ideas like this.❤💡 I want a fur and I'm going to get some someday. Keep up the GREAT WORK.🐯

U did a fabulous job! I would love to see more, like how you sew together and kind of machine use.

I have a mink coat that my client gave me and it's fragile and started coming apart and I want to honor her by doing the same what do I do??!

I have one but don't have the right needle. Please tell me what it takes and where to buy them. Thanks!

Thank you again Dinah! The video is great. The blanket is so much prettier in person. My Mom's coat was just hanging in the closet, no longer with a purpose, but yet such a value. The original cost and the little minks that were sacrificed to make it. It is wonderful to have it as a beautiful blanket or throw, repurposed with a better purpose. Nothing is wasted.

I love watching the process of converting my mother's beaver coat into this gorgeous fur throw! Very high-quality workmanship at a very reasonable price. The throw is even more beautiful in person!

How can I get in touch with you?

Lovely to see this interesting work... I made fur coats the hard way ... knowing nothing... and not having a fur sewing machine...

Wow that really turned out beautiful... I have only recently learned about the animal Racoon-dog or Tanuki after realizing that three of my own jackets were not actually real racoons, but they are from the Racoon-dog animal... A very interesting unique animal. I have a large, long vintage mink coat .... I guess I could do what you have done with it, but I don't have a fur sewing machine so I would have to hand-sew it... I would need to find out where to get those clips that hold the fur in place, also... Years ago I did sew a few fur garments using a regular sewing machine zig-zag stitch, but never had clips and it was very hard to get a perfect result. I am a perfectionist, so I would need to do it right.

Really enjoyed your video. I have a full length black mink and 2 daughter each have a coyote/fox full length coats. Gotta take a deep breath and just go for it!

I wondered what templetes were, so I saw the video. Good idea for templates!

I would love to connect to see what you could do with my grandmother's mink coat.....where are you located?

Can you use this technique for FPP? This was a great video, thanks

Thank you for the details. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m a quilter/longarmer. My friend from Sweden asked me to help her turn her Mothers Mink coats onto throws.

Can a project like this be done with a regular sewing machine?

So beautiful. How much do you charge to convert a full length coat into a throw?

How are much the throws or where can I send any fur coats to make throw and pillow? And what do you charge for the work?

How do you wind the bobbin?? Will it still work with the hand crank wheel??

Hello, Thank you for sharing this amazing video. We have a beaver coat that we would like to have converted to a throw. If you would be willing to do the work for us please let us know how to get in touch with you. Many thanks!

Love my new throw from a coat I would never wear again. Now I have something to pass on to my daughter as she would never have worn the coat - THANK YOU Dinah!

A lot of work, but worth it!! They are beautiful!

What exactly is "cold tape"? Also, what type of thread did you use to sew it together? thanks

great job!

Awesome work!

Awesome work

Love these videos

I’ve learned over the years. To run the freezer paper vertical then horizontal alternating as you layer it … it makes a difference

❤

That's a great idea. I'm assuming rounds 2 and 3 were wax side down?

Your Generosity is lovely1 💌

🪄💛✨💨

Yes it does, Thank You!

Thank you, Dinah! Your precision and artistry is simply incredible--top notch! Repurposing something of my mother's that I would never wear--turning it into TWO things that I will use, is an honor to both my mother and to the animals that were already killed many years ago. I thought about tossing this, but you created a true family TREASURE from it. LOVE the cowl.....amazing what you did with those scraps!

Wasnt the bottom more flared than the top? How did you deal with that ? Either ads material at the top or cut un rhe centre and resew?

Great work!

Have you ever used fur remnants / pieces to make a Russian Cossack style hat?

Fascinating! You make the most interesting and informative videos! I am so happy that you will be transforming my mother's fur into a memory throw for me!
