How to sew faux fur | sew along for Simplicity S8218 | sewing a fur vest

[@brendajefferson5984]

Great tutorial and the fabric choices are very nice and one of my favorite colors. You reminded me that I need to get my ex-acto knife and stashed furs out and head to the patio table 😂. Thanks for sharing another great tutoria❤l

Thanks for watching, Brenda!

FYI a razor blade works really well. I had to make a bear suit 🙄don’t ask, and I traced around the pattern on the back (single layer just like you did) and used the razor blade like a scalpel to cut through the backing.

Oh no, I’m asking! 😂😂😂

[@janfranklin2114]

@@blufaerie ok, you asked... I had to make a bear man for a short student film. It was crazy.

[@RavenMaureen]

Great tip! I’ve heard of this too! Or a box cutter works the same! Bear costume sounds wild! Haha

So cute. I have some faux fur sitting in my stash for YEEEAARS. I hope when I finally am not afraid to see it that it is still good

Thanks for watching!

Will have to try the zigzag stitch the next time. Smart about starting at center back, good tip. A SewSteady machine table is excellent to keep fabric from dragging, but they are machine specific.

Thanks for watching, Julie!

Great video. I have this pattern, I may try it. Thank you.

[@RavenMaureen]

Yes, you should! It's so easy!

[@justkc72]

Where did you get your material? Does your lining have a stretch to it? Can't wait to sew it now that I watched the sew along!

[@magalysenecharles1901]

Beautiful😊😊😊 love your choice of lining. Good coordination. When you under stitch, you use a zigzag or a straight stitch. I just bought a faux fur. I haven’t purchased the lining yet. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Blessed day.

[@RavenMaureen]

Thanks! Great question, I switched back to a straight stitch for the understitch

[@helenfillmore3063]
