Custom Brown Bear Set


Custom Order for Paula
from a beautiful rich dark brown vintage mink jacket


The pattern I used was my Mother-Daughter set






The lining of the jacket had such beautiful trapunto and monograms
that I had to make a quilt for the teddies to sit on.
I even kept the pocket with the second monogram.
