DIY fur vest: constructing a pattern and sewing a product

A fur vest is a chic and adaptable accessory that can enhance any outfit. Making your own fur vest is a satisfying project, whether your goal is to enjoy the warmth it provides or to add a hint of luxury to your winter attire. You’ll not only create something original that expresses your own style, but you’ll also learn useful sewing techniques.

Although creating a fur vest from scratch may initially seem difficult, it is completely doable with the correct advice and a little perseverance. This post will guide you through every step of the procedure, from creating a pattern that fits you precisely to sewing the fur into an exquisitely finished item of clothing. You will find that this project is a great way to learn and gain confidence in sewing, even if you are not experienced with it.

At the end, you’ll have a fur vest that is specially made for you, and you can wear it with pride because you made it yourself. Together, let’s embark on this artistic endeavor and realize your vision for a fur vest.

Step Description
1. Materials Choose faux or real fur, lining fabric, and necessary tools like scissors, measuring tape, and sewing machine.
2. Measurements Take body measurements: bust, waist, and desired vest length.
3. Pattern Create or trace a basic vest pattern on paper using your measurements.
4. Cutting Cut the fur and lining fabric according to the pattern, ensuring the fur"s direction is consistent.
5. Assembly Sew the shoulder and side seams of the vest pieces, starting with the fur and then the lining.
6. Finishing Attach the lining to the vest, then hem the edges for a clean finish. Add closures like hooks or buttons if desired.

What kind of fur is suitable for sewing a vest

Be ready to dedicate a significant amount of time to sewing if this is your first experience working with fur. It is a very intricate and laborious process. For novices, we suggest remaking a vest out of an old fur coat; it’s much easier and less expensive, but there are a few details to remember: it’s not as simple as just cutting the sleeves off and shortening it!

Due to the fur coat’s frequent wear and tear on the collar and shoulders, the product will not appear high-quality. Because of this, the fur coat must be taken apart into its component pieces. Then, the sections with the best fur preservation must be chosen, and the pieces must be skillfully joined together on the pattern so that the pile only lies in one direction, namely from top to bottom.

Should you choose to purchase fur for a sleeveless jacket and have never worked with fur before, it might be prudent to get in touch with a studio to avoid wasting costly materials.

As natural fur is warmer, more elegant, and more beautiful than synthetic, we advise choosing it. Furthermore, vests made of fake fur deteriorate more quickly and cannot be restored. Regardless, the decision is left up to you;)

How to sew a fur vest with your own hands: a mini master class

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve made up your mind what to wear—a sleeveless jacket, of course! We commend your bravery and extend an invitation to join our streamlined master class.

We use our own hands to sew a fur vest; the following supplies and tools are needed:

  • fur skins (fox, rabbit);
  • furrier"s knife (it can be replaced with a stationery knife or blades);
  • a large wooden board (we will pull out the skins on it);
  • pins or a stapler for upholstery of upholstered furniture with staples;
  • a sharpened pencil or a black gel pen;
  • a centimeter;
  • a wooden hammer;
  • a comb;
  • threads to match the fur;
  • a needle for sewing fur products;
  • lining fabric (any, from satin to knitted);
  • accessories of your choice – buttons, locks or hooks for fastening the finished product;
  • tracing paper or any other paper suitable for creating a pattern.

DIY fur vest: how a pattern is being built

First, we must eliminate the fundamental measurements: the width of the shoulder, the length of the neck, the circumference of the chest, and the waist. The forearm’s circumference may also be required for certain vest models.

Next, look through a magazine or the Internet for a furs vest pattern. We’ve provided you with three sleeveless options below. Although they are not hard to construct, the finished form of fur products sewn on them looks nice.

Tracing paper is used to create the fur vest pattern. Remember to leave 1-2 cm of allowance for seams when cutting the parts, depending on the density of the fur and the quality of the skin.

Try the vest on for size before starting to sew the inside, according to the pattern. The lining ought to be a little loose.

Next, trim the fur portions.

To avoid cutting the fur off, it is crucial to carefully push it to the side using a sharp knife.

We would like to remind you that the fur should only be found in one direction, which is top to bottom. Even when moving the pattern from tracing paper to the material, this point needs to be considered.

Furthermore, if the fur has uneven coloring, we advise choosing the skins carefully and making an effort to match the spots at the intersection of two skins as precisely as possible. Using specialized adhesive tape to secure the parts’ edges is a highly recommended precaution that will prevent the seam from stretching with wear.

Step-by-step sewing of women"s fur vests

Step one

We stretch natural fur on a wooden board before beginning any kind of work with it. To accomplish this, lightly dampen the flesh side (skin, or the back side of the fur) with water, stretch the skin along the board, and secure it with upholstery staples or tiny nails. Before cutting the fur, allow the skins to completely dry. Then, mark and sew the pattern onto the fur. It is crucial to keep in mind the seven-to-one rule at this point: measure seven times, cut once. Error is not an option;)

Step two

Using a furrier’s knife (a kitchen knife or other well-sharpened blade will do, but not scissors) With the seam allowances taken into consideration, cut out every detail of the vest. Cut quickly and precisely, preferably while the fur is still fluffy, to avoid damaging it. To avoid ruining fine skins, we advise practicing a little on scraps.

Use a furrier’s machine or sew the fur by hand using a specific furrier’s stitch.

Make sure the pieces match in terms of color and nap direction before you begin sewing. To conceal the difference, try moving the fur on one of the skins up a little if it is a little longer.

The skins are securely joined by this double-piercing method, negating the need for extra-strong sewing threads.

When sewing, take great care to prevent individual hairs from getting into or sticking out of the seam. If this error occurs, carefully remove them from the product’s front side using a needle.

Step three

Using a standard sewing machine, sew the lining and give it a thorough iron.

We smooth out and soften the seams that form at the fur skin junctions by pressing them with the back of a tailor’s scissors or hammering them with a hammer.

Leaving a sufficient gap on the back to turn the product to the front, fold the fur vest blank and the lining face to face and sew them together.

Turn the almost completed sleeveless jacket inside out very slowly and carefully, taking care not to damage the fur or the lining fabric. Then use hidden stitches to carefully close the last opening on the back.

Now that the fur is under the lining, use your hands to smooth out the seams once more. Shoulder and side joints should be nearly undetectable if all went according to plan.

We now cover the outer joints; if there are individual villi sewn in between the sections, remove them carefully using an awl, crochet hook, or needle.

How to sew a fur vest from scraps

List of supplies and equipment needed to make a fur vest:

  • several fur skins (for sizes 42 to 46 we needed two steppe foxes);
  • a stationery knife, a sharp kitchen knife, blades or, better yet, a special furrier"s knife;
  • a large wooden board for stretching the fur;
  • a gel pen or pencil for marking;
  • small nails or a stapler for upholstery;
  • 5-7 skeins of yarn for knitting the frame of the sleeveless jacket (for 42-46 sizes.);
  • crochet hook No. 3;
  • sewing threads to match the fur;
  • a fur sewing needle;
  • salt;
  • water;
  • a little glycerin;
  • potassium alum;
  • a spray bottle or atomizer;
  • a measuring cup;
  • kitchen scales (minimum value – 0.1 kg);
  • hammer;
  • pliers or nippers for pulling out nails;
  • comb or brush for combing out fur;
  • sewing machine;
  • fittings (optional – buttons, zippers, hooks);
  • fabric for the lining, if you plan to sew it later.

How to sew a fur vest on a knitted base: a step-by-step master class

Preparing the skins

Stage one

Even those who have only recently started to learn how to sew will be able to complete the vest that we are going to sew today. The only thing that will prevent you from working on the project is the knitting of the product’s frame, which will require some time. If you have no experience crocheting, don’t worry—the pattern is very straightforward and simple to memorize.

We used two new fox skins for the master class, but it’s not necessary at all—vests with worn-in but presentable fur work just as well. In this instance, the skin dressing is the only thing that needs to be considered. Verify whether the fur is falling out, whether the flesh side—the fur’s back—is robust enough, and whether there are any holes in it.

Let’s now discuss the "topography" of skins in a brief lesson.

Number 1 on the picture corresponds to the neck, followed by the paws, spine, belly, sides, rump, and tail.

We strongly advise putting away clothes and anything extra in the closet before you begin work because, even with extreme caution, fur will get everywhere.

If, as in our instance, the skins are dressed like stockings, we turn them inside out, fur inside, and use a pen to draw the middle line along the belly and paws as follows:

Next, carefully cut the flesh side, taking care not to cut the hairs and holding the skin suspended. Fur cannot be cut with scissors because doing so can easily cause damage. We don’t need the tail, so it must be cut off.

Step two

Using sewing pins, we must now pierce the spine from the fur side to the very center, marking the puncture site on the skin with a gel pen. This will allow us to transfer the spine line to the skin. Once you’ve covered the whole area, use a pen to join all of the dots in a single, straight line. This is done to prevent distortions on the final product and to maintain the fur pattern.

Those who plan to sew from an old fur coat, hat, or collar can omit the following steps.

You must get ready a special fatliquing solution if you are sewing a product from a fresh skin.

You will require: to make one liter of water.

  • twenty grams of glycerin;
  • twenty grams of salt;
  • three grams of potassium alum.

We found that 100 grams of water was sufficient in this instance, but you should plan on having a little extra on hand.

Thus, dilute the alum, salt, and glycerin in hot (not boiling) water, stir thoroughly, and wait until the liquid somewhat cools (you can test it with your finger to see if it’s not too hot to handle). Transfer the liquid into a spray bottle and use it to mist the skins. We won’t need the leftovers, so pour them out.

Stage three

The next step in the impregnation process is to fold the skins skin to skin and keep them there for 30 to 60 minutes.

As the fur is impregnating, get ready with a big wooden board, a hammer, and small nails or a furniture stapler filled with staples.

After soaking in the prepared solution, the skin becomes extremely elastic. While it may seem like it will tear if you apply a little more, this won’t happen if the skin was properly dressed.

Fur straightening is the next step. In addition to stretching it out in both length and width and pulling it slightly, you should also use nails or a stapler to secure it to the board.

Crucial! With the fur down, place the skin on the board!

Starting from the rump, we attach in the region of the hind legs and spine. Next, we attach the upper part of the skin (the neck), being careful not to create any folds.

Crucial! Make sure, with caution, that the ridge line stays straight throughout the work!

Now, slowly pull the sides, working your way up to the top paws and then down to the lower ones.

You can press two skins (on both sides of the board) into the board to expedite the process. Let them remain until the flesh side has dried completely.

The skins should then be taken off the board and turned over so that the fur is facing up. To fluff up the pile, thoroughly comb the skins from top to bottom after wetting the brush or comb with water. Hold off until it dries entirely.

Stage four

We now need to figure out how wide the fur strips will be. It is possible to create 5 mm wide strips if the pile is sufficiently thick and voluminous and the skin is robust and well-tanned. Reduce the width of the strip a little bit if you’re worried there won’t be enough fur. For women’s vests of this type, strips of four to eight millimeters wide are typically cut.

The skins are now being lined from bottom to top; each strip needs to have a number.

Then, theoretically, we should cut the skin into strips; however, we still suggest delaying this until after we have knitted the foundation of the sleeveless jacket.

There are two ways you can go about cutting strips right away.

Initially, we arranged the even and odd rows in two different directions and cut the strips in the proper order. We obtain identical product shelves in this way.

We think the second option is more practical because, as the picture illustrates, we leave a tiny portion of each strip uncut. We advise cutting the number of strips you want to sew today. The labor can be broken down into multiple stages because it is labor-intensive and lengthy.

That concludes the work involving fur.

Knitting and assembling a vest

Stage one

The pre-selected pattern is ready. We provided three options at the start of the lesson, but there is one more that you can find online or in the same Burda magazine.

Crucial! The pattern is intended for vest sewing, not warp knitting!

We measure the product’s length and transfer the pattern to tracing paper. After making all the necessary adjustments, cut the paper blank out.

Now let’s begin knitting the sleeveless jacket foundation. To do this, we’ll need a No. 3 hook and five to seven skeins of yarn, depending on the size of the finished product that we want.

Crucial! We recommend that you sew a vest out of any fabric and try it on over your clothes if you are unsure about the correct construction of the pattern. You can begin knitting if it fits properly; if not, you will need to modify the pattern to better fit your body type. We suggest that you consider how the vest should fit the figure—it should sit loosely and slightly. We reevaluate if the width is sufficient and if extending the armhole is worthwhile.

Stage two

Next, we tackle crocheting.

The woman’s sleeveless jacket base has an incredibly simple pattern.

Completely knit the first row using double crochets.

Repeat from * to * for the second row: *one double crochet, one air loop*.

Knit base, first and second rows alternating.

To determine how many loops are needed for the shelves and back, we advise knitting a small sample before beginning the main work.

Because of the holes created by the air loops, this sleeveless jacket is meant to be blown through in a reasonably warm autumn or spring. We suggest using double crochets to knit the entire base of a warmer vest or insulating it with polyester padding if you want to sew one.

To prevent issues, knit the back and shelves, baste the seams, steam the parts thoroughly with a hot iron, and try the vest on.

Should you be unable or unwilling to crochet the base, you may substitute it with knit garments appropriate for this pattern. Pay attention to the knitwear pattern in addition to the color; it should have distinct horizontal stripes or embossing. You can sew the fur stripes evenly with the aid of this clever trick;)

Step three

Mark the location of the skin’s ridge on the shelves (don’t mark the back) with a contrasting thread.

Let’s begin sewing fur strips now. Keep in mind that different shelves are meant for even and odd rows.

There are currently two choices.

First, use a sewing machine to attach the stripes in a wide-step zigzag pattern.

Smooth the pile down before sewing the strip on; that way, the stripe will sew on more easily and won’t get under the needle.

The second, and slightly more difficult, option involves hand-sewing the stripes on. There are various ways to sew: zigzag, over the edge, capturing the entire width of the strip, or any other practical method.

The most practical method is to sew two shelves simultaneously, trimming the end of the subsequent fur strip before each patch. In this manner, there is no confusion and work can be delayed whenever needed.

When cutting the stripes, remember to sharpen the knife and replace the blades on time, as they wear out quickly.

The image below displays two knitted shelves on the right and an uncut skin on the left.

Only on double crochet rows (skipping air loop rows) should you sew furry stripes. Movement direction: from bottom to top. Carefully comb the fur after every stitched row.

Step four

Make sure to carefully check that the pile is always oriented from top to bottom when sewing on the stripes. Remember to use the even stripes on one shelf and the odd stripes on the other when numbering the stripes. Remember that the ridge should be level.

For those looking to lighten their workload a bit, here’s some advice: move the ridge line that was previously marked on the flesh side to the upper portion of the flesh side (cut/end), as seen in the picture below.

Use a safety pin to secure this dot to the ridge line before you begin sewing.

When sewing the stripes, leave the side seam of the vest unfinished by 1 centimeter. Hold the fur in your hand as you stitch.

The shelves will take about four hours to complete. This is what you ultimately receive:

You must add a strip and gather a fur fragment from the leftovers if the strip is too narrow or the edging appears bald. It is advisable to position the extension marginally beneath the primary strip.

The shelves are then processed from the inside out. In order to process the armhole and secure the threads, fold the fur strip inward and manually sew it to the vest’s knitted base by about one centimeter. Then, cut off any excess. The image below shows the outcome. The incorrect side looks nice and doesn’t need to be lined.

Stage five

Time for the back now.

The situation here proved to be more complicated than expected because the skin’s width was insufficient to match the width of the back. The original plan called for adding strips if we kept sewing, which is why side leather inserts are seen on a lot of vests.

We decide to stitch the stripes with two ridge lines, just like the shelves, after giving it some thought and doing some math. We figure that if one skin can cover two shelves, it can also cover the back.

Three lines of contrasting thread, like this one, are used to mark the back:

Subsequently, stitch strips of additional fox skin in the same pattern as the ones on the shelves, meaning even on one side and odd on the other. After trimming off any excess, the strips must be joined in the middle of the back. Sew the strips together or just a little bit overlapped. We take the same step back from the edge as we did with the shelves, leaving the same amount unfinished. What you will receive will resemble this:

Using sewing pins, we cut off the product’s details in three different places. We add scraps where there isn’t enough fur. The already-sewn back looks like this:

Processing the interior in the same manner as the shelves is all that’s left to do. And voilà!

Lyrical digression

After a brief break, we will move on to the last section of this master class, where we will learn how to put together a sleeveless vest and create a belt to go with it.

Numerous remnants of fox hides remain. It is not shown in the picture below, but tails and paws are also useful.

P.S. You are lucky if you sew with old raccoons instead of foxes:)

Because raccoon fur coat scraps don’t need to be adjusted along the spine, sewing with them is both quicker and much easier. Remember to consider the fur’s condition as well; gaps and bald spots are easily noticeable in the picture. Working with dark fur tones can also present another issue: light flesh side edges that merely require painting over.

We presume that sewing a vest made of silver fox is considerably simpler because there won’t be any ridge line adjustments required, and as a result, no additional steps are involved.

Sewing a vest: final assembly

Stage one

The vest’s sides now need to be sewn. Using the same thread that was used to knit the product’s base, this is done manually. similar to this

In this instance, you must ensure that the fur stripes stay above the thread. Remember to verify that the rows are aligned correctly!

The sleeveless jacket should then be turned to the front. This is how it ought to appear:

The fur stripes need to be sewn together now. This is done by hand; all excess length needs to be cut off after the adjustment is complete. As the fur will be less in the way, we advise beginning at the top and working your way down.

We use a medium-length thread because there is less possibility of the pile becoming tangled in it. We navigate between rows inside the columns without cutting the thread.

After every stitched row, we meticulously comb the pile, carefully moving it up.

So, we continue to sew until every row is connected.

Thus, the initial side is completed:

For the second shelf, we repeat the entire process.

The vest is then stitched at the shoulders:

Stage two

Once the shoulders are done, we flip the sleeveless jacket over. We examine every seam in detail and make sure the fur is correctly positioned. It is best to try the product on and examine it on yourself so that any defects are visible. In case something goes wrong, you can make the back and shelf joints invisible by slightly ripping and sewing a fur strip again.

If everything looks good on you, we process the neck and armholes using the same procedure. The shelves’ front cuts come next, which as always require sewing to the product’s back side.

Re-wear the clothing item. Unfortunately, there are spots where the vest’s base is somewhat visible. Take a look at the picture:

You must trim off appropriate-colored fur strips and hand-sew them to the edges in order to hide the bald spots.

We choose the fastener at this point. These can be hooks, buttons, or zippers; the last option is the easiest to implement, so go with it. Ten No. 3 hooks are what we suggest using; sew them on as the picture indicates.

If preferred, you can use the exact same pattern to cut out the lining, sew it along the shoulders and at the sides, iron the seams, and overlock it. Attach the completed lining by hand using invisible stitches.

You can sew your own belt or select one from a store. Fur looks great with black leather and suede, which is less useful but still gorgeous.

That’s it, don the vest, and head outside!

Fur vest: video master class

How to sew a stylish vest from rabbit fur

Have you always wanted a vest made of silky, real fur? You’ve tried on a few dozen of them, but they’re all different, right? We completely understand your situation, as it is very uncommon for three "I want"s to align simultaneously: style, color, and—above all—product price. If you have trouble making yourself happy, don’t worry; you can now make a vest yourself that is precisely the color and style you want and is even more affordable than one you would buy in a store! Relax, nothing is as frightening as it looks!

List of supplies and equipment needed to make a fur vest:

  • three or four black rabbit skins;
  • a piece of black velour (we use an old velour skirt);
  • fabric for lining;
  • several hooks or buttons for fastening;
  • blade;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • tracing paper for the pattern;
  • gel pen or chalk;
  • a T-shirt:)

You may wonder why you would need a T-shirt. Here’s a quick tip for people who don’t want to waste time creating a pattern. We place it on the velour cloth and trace around it.

How to sew a vest: a step-by-step master class

Stage one

In other words, we basically already have a pattern, but… The neckline and armhole in the first picture are cut much deeper than in the second, which makes it evident that the front shelf of the blank is different from the back. In the picture, the front shelf is on the right, and the back is on the left.

Making a peplum for a sleeveless jacket out of the top of a velour skirt is very simple; all you have to do is cut the front in half and remove the elastic. Everything was still originally adjusted to fit the figure on the sides.

The front shelf needs to have a strip cut out for the fastener next. The strip is actually two strips, each measuring 6 cm in width and matching the length of the shelf.

We replicate the front shelf, back, and peplum blanks on the lining fabric.

Next, we use the remaining velour to create facings for the armholes. This can be done most easily after the front and back shelves have been cut out.

Using an iron to iron the blanks, we adhere the facings to the base fabric after tracing them with a pencil or gel pen on the lining adhesive fabric.

Using double stitches, sew the shoulder seams of the blank, repositioning yourself one centimeter from the cut.

Next, stitch the facing in place 7 mm from the cut.

Stitch it onto the front side seam of the vest by folding it back as pictured below, taking a step back 1 mm from the stitches that join the facing and armhole.

Stage two

Stitching the side seams is what we need to do next. The facing is then swept out and bent to the incorrect side of the vest as shown below:

For increased rigidity, glue the button placket (use one side of an adhesive pad). Bifold it along the length.

Sew both sides of it to the shelf.

Afterwards, we have The stand-up collar comes next. We create a lining by cutting it out of two blanks. The collar is already sewn from the inside, as seen in the picture below.

After that, we sew the collar and basque to the vest by basting them together.

We begin slicing off the skins. At least three will be required; one for the product’s back, one for its front, and an additional one for the collar and shoulders.

We attach the fur to the back of the vest and indicate the areas that require cutting with a pen or chalk. We made a mistaken cut in the fur by using a sharp blade.

The next skin is divided into two identical sections vertically, and the fur is basted over the front portion of the sleeveless jacket. Using a zigzag stitch around the whole skin perimeter, we hand- or machine-sew the fur to the base. Remember to shift the fur away from the edge as you work, and try to stitch along the pile rather than across.

Step three

It’s time to start working on the vest’s lining now. In the following order, we stitch it to the base fabric and along the seams: placket, armholes, and hem.

This is what you will ultimately receive:

The stand-up collar’s lining is sewn on last.

Put a fur strip on the collar and sew the third skin onto the shoulders.

As seen in the picture, trim the edges that hang from the shoulders. It comes out as highly unique and unconventional:)

Sew the buttons as easily as possible by creating a hanging loop and choosing a button that matches the fur’s color.

Even though sewing such a vest will only take a few evenings, the outcome is amazing!

DIY faux fur vest

We previously looked at how women artisans make vests out of real fur, but what if you want to save even more money—or maybe you don’t wear fur—and make this wardrobe piece out of synthetic material? Since the procedure is actually not all that different, we are providing you with a brief master class on how to sew a chic faux fur white vest.

To begin with, let me explain the situation a little.

It’s true that sewing with faux fur is much simpler than sewing with natural fur, but you shouldn’t believe comments on the Internet that say things like "such fur hides all the "jambs" of sewing" or "there is nothing complicated here."

Like any other material, synthetic fur has certain qualities, but even a long, thick pile cannot cover up every flaw. If you’re new to sewing, we suggest that you start by cutting out and making a different fur item, such as a collar, hat, or boa. If you enjoy the process, you can then sew a vest or even a fur coat!

List of supplies and equipment needed to make a fur vest:

  • a piece of synthetic fur (the length should be equal to the desired length of the product plus a couple of centimeters);
  • fabric for lining;
  • sewing threads;
  • hooks for fastening the product (buttons, buttons or even a zipper can be used as a replacement).

Sewing a vest from faux fur: a step-by-step master class

Stage one

We will be sewing the bottom of the long-pile fur to the top of the back and front in this lesson since there are two types of fur that are used for sewing: longer and shorter.

The image below provides a pattern for a combined faux fur vest:

The vest is then sewn along the shoulders, lining and fur together.

Next, baste (or pin the lining, face-to-face, to the vest).

We are going to lay the stitches now. First, we stitch along the lower edge of the front portion of the vest, then we stitch along the sides, the neckline, the lower edge of the back, and finally we stitch along the armhole edges.

Crucial! The side seams are still visible!

Stage two

We’ve finished the major task, which is to turn the product inside out.

The front part details are pulled through the shoulder tunnels, pulled back to the back, and then pulled through the open cuts on the product’s side.

The next step is to use one row of stitches to baste the side cuts on the vest and lining, leaving an opening in one of them so that the workpiece can be turned inside out.

We straighten it and turn it through our vest now. After bending the cuts, we either manually sew a secret seam or arrange an open section near the seam using a typewriter.

That’s it, the jacket without sleeves is almost ready! Button or hook sewing is the only thing left to do. A vest without buttons also has a great appearance;) If the latter, we suggest making a belt or selecting one.

You can even add a long-haired fur collar that is detachable.

That concludes the task; it’s done!
