If I were using pashmina fabric I guess it would depend on what type of fur and where you would be adding the trim. I used the cold cloth (a fabric with self adhesive) and applied that to leather to give the leather more stability, I also used a press on Pellon #80 Interfacing that I pressed on the back side of the mink pieces for stability. I would need to know more about what your project is to give you an idea of how and what to use. On fabric that is going to be cleaned I would say use a fusible press on type of interfacing . On fur you could use cold cloth, because it requires no heat and gives good adhesion, or you could hand baste a piece of canvas to the leather side, or use a fusible interfacing but you have to be careful not to burn the fur if your iron is to hot it will scorch easily.
Can you block deer skin leather? I have it stretch out all over. I like using it at as hat lining. Wet, it really stretches. But will getting wet and stretching it blocked weaken it? I do have a muskrat hat I made near 15 years ago that has gone through rain every winter, and it held up well until maybe 6 years ago when the muskrat leather broke apart some on the front. I made the hat myself, hand sewn. I plan on making a new hat, but thinking of bobcat as I have 2 back halves from just using the capes for taxidermy.
Oops forgot to add that the leather lining inside the hat seems fine after all the years of abuse. But it was not originally blocked. I still wear the hat, just repaired the front by gluing.
I have blocked deer hide , it doesn't really weaken the hide, but deer hide is notorious for stretching even after it's blocked. Maybe not so much on a hat but on jkts the elbows . When I blocked I chose to wet the suede side not heavly dripping wet, but so I could see a slight color change, so I knew water was working I used a spray bottle. I did stretch it but didn't overly stretch, and used stapler to staple edges. Let dry overnite
i can not find your cold cloth tape . would like to know where to purchase,, thankyou . your work is outstanding... lovelovelove

On the bobcat I would also wet stretch that fur before using it.
