I have a coat I need to repair myself and that is essentially what I was going to try. I've never tried to repair fur before - however; the coat I have does have some dry spots which have created the holes. I know enough to know that it won't support sewing. It was gift from my Mother in Law who purchased it in the 40's at Sears (of all places) when she worked at the Chicago location. She wore it every Sunday and special occasion for years; and I've worn it also. It is a great color and very 40's looking; and has a great A-line shape so will fit a number of sizes. However, I'm not interested in restoring it as I would imagine neither of my daughters would be interested. But to be able to wear it from time to time without worry of it ripping more; would be nice.</p><p>Cheerio Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
