[MR] need help with FUR

[Duston Mullins]

I missed your how to sew it on thingy.  Since the fur is already backed with
a lining, good.
Still-take the time to check it for cuts, age and problems.

Simply sew it to a backing fabric and sew that sandwich like any other
pattern piece in a seam or on top turning the fabric back or adding a
complimentary fabric on the top of the sandwich and turn inside out(like a
collar or fabric tube) then stitch in place.

shaved area sewn w/ fine zigzag
