Our project - a coonskin cap!

Requirement # 3 is to make an article out of leather.  We will make a real coonskin cap!  Yes, this will be from the tanned hide of a racoon (or skunk or possum).

We buy the hides from a fur trader in Washington who legally traps the animals.

Our process will include the following steps;
1.  Pattern layout and transfer
2. Cutting leather
3. Punching holes
4. Stamping surface designs
5. Assembly by stitching
