For REALLY good faux fur,
www.fabulousfurs.com
Expensive, but I've heard you can't tell them from the real
thing. They do have a 'bag of scraps" 4 lbs for $29 - they seem to
be not tiny scraps - with judicious piecing, the trimming could be done.
On the other hand, we've dealt with Moscow Hide and Fur (the link
below) - they're very nice people and easy to work with. All their
items are either farmed or legally hunted, and the descriptions from
the website on fur size and condition are accurate.

I have 12 yards of the bright green wool....it weighs a ton! It
looks like that
will just barely squeeze by as enough.
What kind of fur does it look like to you? I am pretty sure I can't afford
that much Ermine....if that is what it is.
Unless it is REALLY good faux fur, I don't want to use it. I am almost
more inclined to use a natural color of velvet --thinking rayon/silk....
What would you do?
