Sewing outerwear is not so simple and requires certain knowledge, skills and abilities. A pleasant exception is a vest, especially if it is made of fur. A fur vest pattern is built quite simply, in addition, it can be based on a ready-made drawing that was made when sewing a blouse or dress, you just need to think over the style and make adjustments to the pattern by drawing on it the lines necessary for the future product.

Vest pattern - add stylish elements to the base

As for the style - here you can show your imagination in full force - the vests are short, elongated - up to the hip line, and very long, almost reaching the line of the knees, fitted, free and voluminous, with or without a collar, with button or zip fastening. For tailoring a stylish vest, you can use fur, both artificial and natural, it is permissible to combine fur of different quality, having different pile lengths. Vests are also in fashion.which fur is used as a trim for fabrics of different textures. For example, the usual pattern of a denim vest can serve as the basis for creating an exclusive product, which combines such, at first glance, different-sounding materials as a common idea.

Which material to choose for the vest

So, the vest pattern is ready, then you should worry about the material for sewing it. We have already mentioned that fur can be used in different qualities and colors. It all depends on your preferences, taste and financial capabilities - the purchase of natural fur does not belong to the category of cheap purchases.

A more affordable option would be to use quality faux fur. The original way of creating products from thin strips of fur will not require large expenses. By the way, in this case, you don’t even need a vest pattern - you can take any knitted vest as a basis, the braid cut from fur will need to be carefully threaded into the loops of a knitted product. A vest made in this way will look quite attractive and original.

Cutting the fur for the vest should be done with a very sharp knife, on the wrong side, in accordance with the transferred lines.

Sew the cut parts by hand, with a special furrier stitch. You can use a sewing machine that has a zigzag function. When assembling parts, special attention should be paid to how the fur fits on the seams, otherwise the seams will be noticeable and the vest will look sloppy. Shoulder seams to give strength to the product should be sheathed with a thin, non-stretching braid or ribbon. If second-hand fur is used in the manufacture of the vest, then it is advisable to quilt it on the side. Thus, damage to the base of the fur from tearing under mechanical stress can be prevented.

The same vest pattern is used to make the lining of the product. It can be made from quilted lining fabric on synthetic winterizer, which is sold at any fabric store. For the manufacture of the lining, you can also use dense satin or twill; as a warming layer, it is easy to take the same synthetic winterizer or a large woolen scarf or scarf that has already lost its appearance. At the same time, you will have to quilt the lining yourself, but even with prolonged wear, spools of sintepon fiber will not appear on it. For convenience, a small pocket can be sewn on the inner side of the shelf.
