STEP 1
At a distance of 9 cm below the top line of the collar, draw a parallel line. Set aside 2.5 cm from the mid-front line along the bottom edge and connect this point to the end of the dotted line.
Transfer the contours of the pattern to the wrong side of the fur and cut it out. In this case, cut only the woven base without touching the pile!

Fur coat pattern - modeling
Modeling the back of a fur coat
We begin modeling the fur coat pattern from the back. Remove the waist dart, make a flare on the side from the hip line by 4-5 cm to the bottom of the product. The length of the fur coat from the waist is about 70cm.
Modeling the front of a fur coat
Move the chest dart to the side, shorten it by 2 cm (see Fig. 1. Pattern of a fur coat - modeling the back and front).
Remove the waist dart, flare the shelf on the side by 4-5 cm. Add 3 cm to go under the fastener. Outline the one-piece selection and mirror it along the line of the middle of the front (see Fig. 2. Pattern of a fur coat - front).
Stand collar pattern
Using a measuring tape, measure the distance AA1 on the shelf and BB1 on the back. Draw a rectangle with length AA1+BB1 and height 9cm. Set aside 1 cm from the upper left corner and from the lower right corner. down and up (see Fig. 3. Pattern of a fur coat collar). From the bottom point 1, move 0.5 cm to the right. Connect all the resulting points using a slightly curved line at the top and bottom.
The fur coat sleeve is cut out unchanged.
How to cut a fur coat
From faux fur, cut out:
- Shelf, one-piece with edging – 2 parts
- Back – 1 piece with fold
- Sleeve – 2 parts
- Stand-up collar – 2 folded parts
From the lining fabric, cut out:
- Shelf minus trim – 2 parts
- Back – 1 piece with fold
- Sleeve – 2 parts
Seam allowances are 2 cm, at the bottom of the fur coat and sleeves – 5 cm.
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, spread seams in different directions 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 a hinged loop and a button according to the markings (point A). Sew fur coat hooks on the shelves of the fur coat (going under the fastener).
You can sew a belt from a strip of leather, wrap it around your waist and tie it. You can also use a ready-made belt you like. Your fur coat is ready! Happy Holidays!
We sew on our own turn-down collar made of fur In this article we will look at how to easily and simply sew a beautiful turn-down collar made of fur. The perfect complement to an expensive jacket with a white shirt or beautiful decoration for a coat or blouse. However, options for creating stylish look with a fur collar is a separate topic, but now the master class itself: 1. Preparing the pattern. Attached is a pattern in several parts. It must be printed so that each drawing is printed on a separate A4 sheet. Next, cut out and glue all the parts into one pattern. We cut out the finished pattern on an unnecessary piece of fabric and try it on ourselves. We check that the pattern fits in size and, if necessary, adjust the pattern to suit your taste. So, for example, you can lengthen the collar a little down or widen it at the bottom. We redraw the new pattern on new paper. Having received the final version of the pattern, 2. Select and calculate the amount of fur. We will need two sable skins or two marten skins with an average length from the ears (not counting the tail) of 30-40 cm (can be longer, but not shorter than 30 cm). 3. Correcting the skins Turn the skins inside out and cut with a blade or furrier's knife along the tummy along the entire skin from top to bottom. Cut off the tail, paws and muzzle. We edit our skins as in the article: https://vk.com/topic-63526505_29852440 We make a solution, blot the skins and leave them to soak. At this time, we take a board for editing such that our entire collar pattern fits on it. We trace our paper pattern along the contour on the board. In the process of stretching the skin, we immediately tilt the skin. That is, for the first skin we pull the right side more strongly, and for the second skin we pull the left side. When we nail the stretched skins onto the board, we immediately try to position them as much as possible along the contour of the pattern so that the skin goes in a semicircle, and only the edges of the skin stick out beyond the pattern (we will then cut them evenly). We form folds on the skin from the inside of the collar, which we also fix with nails or staples; in the future, these folds will become our tucks. Let the skins dry for a day. 4. Cutting out and sewing When the skins have dried, we first mark our tucks and tucks on the skins, and then remove the skins from the board. Next, we sew up the darts, and then cut out two parts of the collar from the skins and sew them together with one seam in the middle. It turns out that we use two backs for sewing, we cut off part of the bellies, and the middle seam of the collar is connected along the cut line of the muzzle. (I note that this is only one of the many options for cutting and arranging the skins; in the future we will consider many others.) 5. Sew on the lining, ribbons and brooches. We sew an edging tape around our fur collar (more information about the tape here.
The biggest problem with warm fall and winter coats is that they are usually too simple. Which is good for the office, but not good for parties and the like. And with our own hands we can turn such outerwear into an elegant and high-class item with the help of a false faux fur collar. Then your coat is perfect for big outings to restaurants/theaters/operas/ballets, as well as - most importantly - a spectacular arrival at the most big celebration in a year!
To you will be required:
— About a meter of artificial (or real) fur;
— The same amount of special lining fabric (choose carefully, because it can “sparkle” from a certain angle in public);
— Newspapers or other unnecessary paper;
— Duct tape;
— Soft centimeter;
— Marker, pen or pencil;
— Paper scissors and fabric scissors;
— 2 hidden metal hooks and eyelets (optional), or buttons, or safety pins;
— Regular pins;
— Needle and thread in the color of the fur;
— Sewing machine.
We will sew a classic wide collar. And here it is very important to choose a good faux fur, so that later it does not seem as if you have wrapped it around your neck. soft toy.
1. Glue newspaper sheets or paper with adhesive tape so that the final sheet size is a meter wide and no less than the height of a full newspaper sheet. Fold the sheet in half.
2. So, for a large collar, the dimensions for making a pattern are as follows (see the picture below - starting from the top side size and then counterclockwise): 20-21 cm, 34-35 cm, 30-31 cm.
If you want a smaller collar, use these sizes (similarly from above counterclockwise): 15-16 cm, 33 cm, 40-41 cm. Please note that slightly different parameters are indicated here.
2. Draw, cut, and when you open the pattern for your future collar, it will resemble a crescent.
3. Place the pattern on the wrong side of the faux fur, pin or trace and cut out a crescent moon from the material. It is very important here, firstly, to apply the pattern correctly so that the pile on the collar is not later directed to the side. Secondly, do not open the scissors wide when you cut: that is, always keep the part of the scissors that will go through the fur close to the fabric and watch how and what you cut, so as not to cut off the pile itself. Because any mistakes or unevenness here are extremely easy to make, they are too noticeable on the fur and it is almost impossible to correct them without cutting off the collar too much. Cut a crescent of exactly the same size from the lining fabric.
4. Place the crescent of the lining on the fur analogue, right to front - i.e., yes, the fur will go inside - and pin the pieces together. At the bottom, leave a strip of about 15-16 cm open, so that you can then turn the collar right side out.
5. Sew the collar around the perimeter using a regular straight seam on a machine with a distance of 1.3 cm from the edge. Don’t forget that you don’t need to sew the 16 cm strip at the bottom now.
6. Turn the collar onto the face, pin the raw edges of those 16 cm inside and hand stitch (sew the lining with fur) this place. Basically done. All you have to do is use a needle to pull out the lint that has gotten into the seams to fluff the collar around the entire perimeter.
7. If you want to be able to quickly put on and take off your collar, hand sew hidden metal hooks onto its ends, and in the appropriate places on the coat, loops for these hooks. If you prefer the collar to remain on the coat permanently, sew buttons around the perimeter of the collar and in appropriate places on the coat (with a good distance from the edge of the collar so that they are not noticeable), or use small safe pins.
