I have always wanted to make a bear out of recycled fur. Well this is the book that will teach you how. It is only for the person who is willing to be a patient sewer, but then aren't all teddy bear makers? A very exciting book, with beautiful photos and Nancy Tillburg is sharing everything with the teddy bear world. I highly recommend this book.

What a great book for those wanting the special instructions needed for working with reclaimed fur coats. This book deals mainly with real fur and how it is treated differently than mohair. However mohair directions are also included. If you buy this book and Nancy's other book "101 Bears to Make" you will have all the information you need on bear making.----------------------Pam

I can not say enough about this book. It's every thing I needed to make Mink Teddy Bears, I'm thrilled.
It's step by step and mow I can make my Bears.

I recently rediscovered that I own two-champagne colored mink stoles from my two deceased mom's. The details in the book will allow me to convert them into teddy bears and that is exactly what I had hoped it would do. Fur stoles, a sign of status in the 60's and earlier will be up-cycled into something that will not have PETA raining paint on them.
