There's a thriving business around here that takes old fur coats/jackets and makes them into teddy bears!

A quick search on EBay turns up a lot:

Sounds great, Muddy, we can't wait to see pics!
Yep, my PIL gave me a wrap that belonged to my FIL's mother, a beautiful blonde mink. But I don't wear it because it is so passe. I had already wanted to make, or have made, a teddy bear from it, but now I want dress sporrans made for my guys. I believe there'd still be enough left over for a wee teddy bear for my DD.
