I make a few hats out of left over fur scraps.
I sew these small pieces into what is known in the trade as plates.
Once you sew a bunch together(3 feet x 3 feet for example)it is blocked to take out the baggy spots to make it lay flat.
Then it is used like a piece of fabric-patterns are marked on the plate and cut then sewn into a fur article.
Its bonus cash from otherwise scraps of fur.
Some fur sewers will sell bags of scraps to others who then sew them into plates and make stuff. [Linked Image]

Mighty fine Boco, thanks for posting.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
