I was asked to make this almost a year ago for a gentleman whose wife was having a baby in July. He trapped the beaver and the yotes himself, sent them off to be tanned and then sent them to me. This is called a Snowsack on the pattern that I have. The bottom is closed, the sleeves are closed. I think baby will be able to use this for two winters and then it can be sent back to me to be made into a coat!!
If anyone is interested, three large beaver hides, one yote and $175 for me to make it.

That's AWESOME, but alas my grand baby is in Georgia! :sad:
LOL I can make these from other materials besides fur. I do regular sewing also :)
How would you clean something like that? Awesome work by the way :yoyo:
Take it to a fur cleaner?? With the beaver fur I would imagine that just wiping it down with a damp cloth would work, make sure not to put baby in right after they ate??
