I’ve been having my fur tanned for a couple seasons until I had enough to make a blanket. I did all the sewing myself and think it came out pretty well for my first time. If anybody has questions feel free to ask or shoot me a PM.

Excellent work. Bet that will keep you warm too.
Chris I can’t hardly touch the thing without sweating! It’ll be really nice during the winter Awesome!!!!what's on the other side? It’s a really soft flannel. There is a layer of padding that’s like 1” thick between the layers as well

Commercial of some sort? Thanks.

Commercial of some sort? Thanks. Just the one that my mom had around. I just put leather sewing needles in it. She gave me a 20 minute lesson on using it and it went great. I’m sure the playability and thickness of the leather would make a difference in how well it worked.
