How to sew a fur vest to look fashionable.

I got interested in making clothes from the very childhood and graduated from a sewing school with a red diploma, I always tried not to buy that consumer goods, which are offered to us by markets and shops, and to create clothes on our own. Therefore, when my daughter wanted to get another fashionable fur-tie, I began to think about how to sew a fur vest at home.

It's not so difficult to make such a beautiful and warm costume. Before you sew a fur vest, you should determine the model and pick up the necessary details. There are a lot of variants of different models. We decided to make a short fur vest. Sew it from an old mink coat. As a fastener use a zipper, and the bottom, sleeves and a neck to process a decorative braid.

Before sewing a fur vest, it was required to make a pattern. To do this, we used the details of the backrest and shelves from the model of a simple T-shirt, taken from the magazine "Burda". The shelf was cut in half and slightly increased the neckline. The length of the details of the patterns made up to the waist. Having prepared a paper pattern, they began to cut the details of fur and lining fabric. To do this, ripped off the old fur coat, releasing the fur from the lining and insulation.

After that they spread out a pattern on it, taking into account the direction of the fur. On all the details, he must look in one direction. Add one centimeter to each cut and cut out the details with a medical scalpel so as not to damage the fur. After that, the finished parts were laid out on the lining fabric, they were rounded and carved.

Folded the fur shelves with the backside of the inside sides and stabbed with needles on the shoulder and side sections. Installed on the sewing machine the biggest step of a straight line and, having retreated one centimeter from a cut, paved a line on each side and on shoulders. Turned the waistcoat and with the help of a needle straightened the fur in the seams.

Then the details of the lining were sewn in the same way. We put the lining into the fur vest, called all the cuts and stabbed them with needles. They connected the details by stitching, stepping back 0.5 centimeters from the cut, paving it in the armholes, along the neck, the bottom and the sections of the shelf. We cut all the slices with decorative braid. A beautiful fur vest is ready.

But, after walking in it for several days, my daughter decided to add a castle. Since all the slices were already processed, we just put a zipper under the swinging details of the shelf and stitched it. To the castle was invisible, they chose it in the same color as the lining of the waistcoat.

If you are concerned about how to sew a fur waistcoat so that it does not visually enlarge the figure, then remove the side seams. To do this, glue the transfer parts and shelves with adhesive tape and cut out one large solid part of the waistcoat. This option is perfect for artificial fur.

Having made a beautiful new thing for my daughter from an old fur coat, we thought about how to sew a waistcoat out of fur collars. We have accumulated a whole package of colorful strips of fur, which were used as the edge of the hood on the jackets. Since there were no options for their use, they simply accumulated. When looking for a model of a fur vest, we saw a variant of a short waistcoat made of fox fur that looked like a bolero. So we came up with the idea of making a motley model using all our collars.

To begin with, we took the pattern of our previous vest and cut it, rounding the details of the shelves. Have found a lining from a monophonic thin drape. Folded the details face down inside and sewed the side and shoulder seams, having deviated from the edge of 0.7 centimeters. Each seam is ironed and detached. We cut out all the sections with a bright oblique bake.

Ottorli from the strips of fur excess parts from the fabric. After that, applying stripes to the drape, sew them manually until they filled the entire surface of the waistcoat with fur. From oblique beiki sewed braid for strings, decorating the end with pompons of fur, and sewed them to the waistcoat. Since the fur was taken from children's colored jackets, our product turned out to be very bright and colorful. And although the model is quite variegated, it is perfectly combined with jeans and monophonic turtlenecks.
