Removable fur collar regained popularity. And, as it turned out, in our weather it is a very convenient thing. And the good thing is that you can make it yourself, and a little creativity will make your outfit unique. Watch the step-by-step instructions and do it!
Fashionable addition
You can sew a collar with your own hands from faux fur, which will perfectly complement outerwear.
You will need:
- Faux fur, lining fabric, width 140 cm, length 55 cm;
- Non-woven fabric;
- Hook and loop.
How to sew a new thing is shown below.
Uncover
Advice: when you baste and stitch, tuck the fur fibers that come out with a needle inside.
- You can cut the fur with a rotary cutter, scalpel or razor blade.
- Before stitching, connect the parts with pins with plastic heads, positioning them
- perpendicularly, and not along the stitching line, to prevent the parts being sewn from shifting.
- Carefully pull any lint caught in the seam with a needle onto the front side of the fur.
First of all, you need to remove the fur lining.
Using a ripper or razor, carefully rip the seam connecting the fur to the fabric. Be extremely careful, do not pull, otherwise holes will not be avoided.
My silver fox collar had damage at the top that couldn't be repaired, so I carefully cut it off. The result was 2 symmetrical parts.
Since the white hairs of the silver fox had turned slightly yellow, and cleaning using known methods did not give any results, I decided to wash it.
You need to wash so that the detergent does not get on the inside. I "washed" my collar with regular shampoo with a few drops of avocado oil (for shine). When the shampoo was washed out of the hair, I rinsed the entire skin. Don’t even think about squeezing it out, the wet skin will tear instantly.
To give the future collar the desired shape, you need to nail it, fur side down, onto the board strictly according to the drawn pattern. Take the smallest nails and nail the fur at a distance of 1-3 cm from each other.
My skin was a bit stiff after the water treatments, so I decided to “feed” it. To do this, I mixed one egg yolk with a spoonful of glycerin (sold at the pharmacy for 8 rubles per 25 ml) and applied it to the flesh with a hair coloring brush. I had to wait another 2 days for complete drying. As a result, the skin became more elastic, full and soft. This procedure is also said to strengthen hair.
If you still have serious doubts about the strength of your skin, put it on glue. Moment or rubber glue is suitable for this. Lubricate the skin with glue and put either gauze, chintz, or non-woven material on top, which is used in ordinary sewing for lining. You can strengthen the skin not entirely, but only thin torn areas.
I carefully combed the dried fur with a metal brush (I have a long-haired cat).
Now you need to sew the skins together along the central part. If you didn’t cut anything off, then skip this step with a clear conscience.
Next we need to sew a lining to the fur - a collar. Please note that I sewed a removable universal collar. If you are sewing a collar for a coat, then the collar will be the fabric from which the entire product is made. We sew braid along the edges of the collar. Next it will be easier to sew the collar to it.
I chose regular bias tape and stitched it on the machine, turned it over and sewed it to the mesh by hand.
For the collar I took ready-made quilted fabric. The price is 120 rubles per meter. We cut out a collar from it with a seam allowance of 1-1.5 cm. Then we manually sew the lining to the braid using a blind seam.
If you are sewing a collar and collar from fur with a thin and medium core, then the order of work will be as follows:
· The collar cut is reinforced with thin cotton fabric (calico, calico, chintz, etc.). The fabric is cut along the contours 1 cm more than the collar in order to bend - “side” the edges.
Having placed the fabric on the collar, it is first fastened onto the flesh with oblique basting stitches 1 - 1.5 cm long. The flesh is not pierced through, but only grabbed. Then the fabric is turned to the side 1 mm less than the collar.
· The fur collar is reinforced with fabric in the same way. Then, to ensure the dimensional stability of the collar, a padding made of lining, non-adhesive interlining or other cushioning materials is attached to the collar fabric.
· Having folded the collar and collar with the fur inward, fasten them in several places and sew them together with a furrier's seam, fitting the upper collar.
· Then turn it inside out.
Collar made of fur, collar made of coat fabric.
· The collar is reinforced with a gasket (fastened or glued) exactly according to the pattern.
· Batting or padding polyester is basted to the padding.
· The collar is “covered” with a fur collar, the fur is folded over and hemmed with invisible stitches. If the collar is not made of coat fabric, it is desirable that it be in color to match the fur.
Three detachable collar options:
· Sew the clean-cut collar to the neckline using blind stitches.
· Separately sew a strip from the lining, punch through the loops. Stitch collar
A fur coat is one of the most desirable things for a woman. It warms perfectly on cold days, while always looking rich and attractive. But a fur coat is always a luxury item that not everyone can afford. So, why not sew it yourself if you have ready-made fur coat patterns? Let's try!
What do you need to sew a fur coat?
First of all, you need to buy materials for work:
- Natural fur, as the most expensive material. Products made from natural fur always look impressive, but require special skills, knowledge and professional equipment;
- Faux fur, as a more affordable alternative to natural material. Working with a solid piece of fur fabric will be easy even for sewing enthusiasts. In this case, you can always combine natural and artificial materials. For example, use natural raw materials to cut collars;
- Base from old fur coat is the most popular raw material for new items. But, you should always understand that any fur can have a certain period of operation. Therefore, all worn areas cannot be used when sewing a new item and will have to be removed during sewing.
Natural fur (animal skins) are purchased exclusively in specialized stores. If you want to save money, you can turn to fur factories. There are not many skins on the market, so they are often pre-ordered, otherwise the cost of raw materials will be inflated.
But artificial raw materials are quite accessible. In any fabric store you can find a variety of “natural” fur in a wide range of colors and types. The ready-made patterns presented below can be used for both natural and artificial raw materials.
Acts as a lining simple atlas, as the most classic option. But, you can use a quilted lining made of combined fabrics. This material is characterized by strength and acts as additional insulation. But satin looks more beautiful.
In addition to the material, you need to stock up on tools for work:
- Sharp scissors;
- Hairpins or clothespins (necessary for fixation). Their benefits will be appreciated by that category of seamstresses who preferred natural material;
- Punching pliers for installing accessories;
- Hammer with cloth winding (necessary for breaking or softening seams);
- Special triangular needles;
- Comb brush for combing fur;
- Chalk (soap) to mark markings;
- High-quality accessories: hooks, buttons, straps, ties and so on.
Need to know! Working with fur material is not so easy. The work is hampered by the pile and characteristics of the skin (hide). Therefore, some craftswomen use a scalpel or a simple blade instead of scissors. Good sharpness of the tools will allow you to make confident and fast movements when cutting the material.
How to make a fur coat pattern?
- Determine the length of the fur coat - the distance from the upper shoulder point to the selected point;
Attention! When creating a pattern for a short fur coat, use a line 10 cm below the waist or the middle of the hips as the extreme point. When working with a straight fur coat, its length can reach the knee or even lower.
- When creating a fur coat sleeve pattern, you need to measure the distance between the shoulder point and the selected sleeve length;
Important! When constructing a fur coat pattern bat It is necessary to take into account that the loose style of the sleeve implies a rounded bottom seam, which goes into the side line.
- Forming a silhouette. For a fur coat of size 42-48 and any style, you need a fur fabric 147-150 cm long. When building a fur coat from size 50, you need a fabric of 2 lengths. For a bat style of any size, you also need 2 lengths of fabric;
- If the fur coat pattern includes a hood, then the size of the fabric used increases by 80 cm. The presence of a stand-up collar increases the footage by 50 cm. And when patterning patch pockets, there is no need for additional footage. The pieces that remained when forming the sleeves or shelves are quite enough;
- Allow at least 10 cm for allowances and seams;
- When combined different types fur (natural and artificial material), the calculation of the required amount of footage is determined separately. The main emphasis is on the height of the parts.
We sew a short fur coat from faux fur
For sewing, you need 2 meters of fur material (according to your taste and color) and the same amount of fabric for the lining. Main stages of work:
- We form a pattern and cut the fabric according to the design;
- We cut out two shelves, a back and sleeves;
- We connect the back and front shelves by forming a shoulder seam;
- We fix the sleeves with pins and carefully sew them in;
- We make side seams along the body and seams at the bottom of the sleeve;
Important! At this stage, leave the lower part unstitched, then turn the fur coat inside out and finish the job.
- We sew the sleeves with an allowance of 2-2.5 cm;
- The fur coat is ready.
Attention! If desired, you can install fittings at the stage of connecting the base material with the lining.
Pattern of a fur coat with a stand-up collar
Model medium length, slightly widened towards the bottom. Both natural and faux fur can be used for sewing. In total, you need about 2.5 meters of base and lining material, fittings, and decorative elements (if desired).
Attention! All parts of the top must have the same pile direction. Paired parts should mirror the pattern. When working with faux fur, we cut only the woven part; with natural fur, we cut the inner part. We don't touch the pile.
Main stages of work:
- Cut out 2 shelves, back, collar, 2 sleeve parts;
- Duplicate the details for selection. In this case, the length of the hem at the bottom increases by 6-10 cm;
- According to the markings, cut the shelves into 2 parts. The upper part is cut separately;
Important! Pay attention to the allowances: shoulder, side, vertical seams of the sleeve, at the stand - 1 cm, at the bottom of the sleeve and fur coat - 4 cm.
- The layout of the patterns when working with faux fur is slightly different.
- We connect the upper shoulder seam: the shelves and the back of the back;
- We sew in the sleeves and sew the remaining parts;
- We form the lining according to the pattern;
- We connect the parts, install the fittings, turn the fur coat inside out and sew the bottom.
Pattern of a fur coat with a hood made of natural fur
A fur coat with a hood will keep you warm on a cold day. Although, sewing such a model can be considered a more complex job.
Basic sewing steps:
- We start by preparing the skins. Using a knife, cut the skin along the belly. It is important not to damage the pile. We eliminate defects in pile or core. We wet the flesh and leave it for an hour. Then we straighten the skins, lay them pile side down and leave for an hour. Ultimately, we form a canvas from the skins using pins and sew them together (zig-zag stitch). The fur should face one direction;
- We cut the prepared fur fabric according to the pattern;
- We form a shelf with a one-piece side and a hood, a back, the front part of the hood and two halves of a sleeve;
- Preparing patterns internal parts hood;
- Add about 4.5 cm along the bottom of the product and sleeves. On the side, shoulder seams, darts and along the hood line - 1 cm. Add 2.5 cm to the cut edge of the inside of the hood;
- Cut out the lining;
- We sew everything along the lines, starting from the top and forming the hood. Then we move on to the side seams and sleeves. We sew in the lining and sew the bottom part of the fur coat.
A fur coat made of natural or artificial material, made by hand ready-made patterns will cost several times less than the factory version. And it will fit perfectly according to your figure, as it is sewn according to your own parameters.

How to sew a fur coat
IMPORTANT! Faux fur can stretch slightly when stitching pieces together, so you need to baste the pieces before sewing!
Sew horizontal darts on the shelf. Lay them down.
Sew side, shoulder and sleeve seams, place allowances in different sides and manually baste to the product. This must be done when the fur is high enough to avoid excess thickness at the seams.
Sew the sleeves into the armholes.
Place the collar pieces on top of each other and stitch along the two short sides and the top long side, cut off the allowances in the corners, and turn the collar inside out.
The parts of the fur coat made from the lining fabric are basted and stitched together. Baste the lining to the sides of the hem and stitch.
Sew the collar into the neckline, turn the one-piece collar and lining to the wrong side, stitch along the collar sewing line, sew with one line, inserting the collar.
Turn the fur coat right side out and place the lining in the sleeves. Fold up the bottom of the sleeves and shorten the sleeve lining to the desired length. From the bottom of the fur coat (pass your hand between the fur coat and the lining), pull out the sleeve by the allowances, sweep the allowances and stitch them together.
Turn up the seam allowance at the bottom of the fur coat and baste it by hand. Fold the seam allowance on the lining and hand baste it to the seam allowance on the bottom of the fur coat.
Sew according to the markings hanging loop and a button (point A). Sew fur coat hooks on the shelves of the fur coat (going under the fastener).
