DIY fur vest

Simple method to make a fur vest

Hi Everyone,
We made a beautiful vest out of the fur cloth which was lying in our house for past 3 years. My daughter did the entire vest by herself except cutting. She had hand sewn the entire project.

Materials needed:

1. 1/2 to 1 yard of fur cloth (All fabric shops have that)

2. Scissors

3. Needle

4. Thread

5. Newspaper

6. Marker

7. A sleeveless top

Method:

Step 1: Trace the sleeveless top on a newspaper. Make 1/2 inches bigger on the sides and shoulder portions for seam allowance.

Step 2: Cut out the tracing. This is our template for the vest.

Step 3: Turn the fabric over and pin the template to the fabric. Caution: Please check whether fur is in the right direction. We did not check and realized after cutting. Now our fur is pointing in all wrong directions  :-((

Step 4: Trace the template twice – one for the front and another for the back. Cut out the pieces.

Step 5: After cutting, I cut the neck portion of one of the pieces little lower. This is the front side.

Step 6: Have the right sides of both the pieces together and sew along shoulders and sides. Please refer the diagram.

Step 7: As I said,  my daughter hand sewed the vest. It took her nearly 3 hours to sew.

Step 8: Make a vertical cut at the middle of the front side for opening. The vest is done!

My daughter was saying that she could make her own clothing with minimum help from me. She was so proud that she wore her vest to the park the other day when it was 85 degrees.
This is a very simple procedure for kids to follow and do! What do you think?
