Pro-er tip for the fur: use a craft knife and just cut the back paneling. Then you avoid cutting the fur at all, and won't end up with a haircut on your fabric
I lined some inexpensive coats and I had to watch several tutorials on lining to see what you just showed in this short video!!! Thank you for not complicating this tutorial
Just finished making my own version using your video. My god you helped so much those sleeves were motherbitches to work out I legit dreamed about sewing them.... I've stabbed myself at least 40 times and left fur all over my parents house but I now have a (slightly wonky) bomb ass jacket!!! Thank you!!
I've been holding off on sewing a couple fur coats because I had no idea how to do that- but now I am super glad I came across your video! After watching, the task seems a lot less daunting.
Amazing! A tip for clothes that don't have a lining: use a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying. It's neccessary on most fabrics, though not all. If you want a really neat look, you can go over it with both a zigzag stitch and then a straight stitch, but it's not strictly neccessary. If you have an overlocker/serger, you can just use that for a neat finish and preventing fraying ^^
great tip! I tend to just be really lazy but i'll give that a try :) I don't have a serger but omg I tried one once when I used to volunteer for this charity and they asked me to serge a bunch of washcloths they were sending out (this was back before I ever went near a sewing machine) and I ruined them hahaha
Hahaha, I've never tried sewing with a serger, but my mum says it should be really hard, so she didn't want me to do it before I was older, but I don't so anymore, sooo ^_^
Leave a gap in the side seam of the lining. You can sew the bottom of the jacket closed while it’s inside out and pull the whole thing through the hole. Then all you need to do is sew the lining closed. I just use a thread that matches the lining and leave a tiny seam allowance but if you want it to look neater you can do a ladder stitch.
pro fur-working tip: cut it out using an exacto knife or something similar so you arent cutting through the fur fibres themselves, saves you mess and makes the fur look a lot neater
Great video, and I love your choice of fur! If I may make a suggestion, if you pin the fabric together, stick the needles in horizontally. This way, you can sew over them and remove them when you're done with the seam! This way you don't have to stop sewing to remove needles that are lined up vertically :)
onlinekyne i would what you did with the bigger pieces of the jacket like flip them but with sleeves i attach the lining to the fabric and then sow it into a sleeve flip it and sow it onto the jacket
I agree. I wouldn't have made two separate jackets, a lining vest and a fur vest, then sewing those together. That seems like extra work. But I love your channel.
Great job! How long would you guess this would take for a beginner to do? Your tutorials are always exciting to watch and make me feel like I can do it :)
Took me about two days as I was working on it a little bit at a time. And this is actually my first time making anything like this so I'd say I'm a beginner! Having a little bit of sewing experience is good since you need to be able to plan and visualize how things will look when you flip them inside out and around. But it's really not that hard!! It's just cutting out pieces of fabric and putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle :)
That was really well done, I used to make plushies out of that faux fur fabric. It's a BITCH to work with when you're just getting started with sewing!
where did you get that fur? it reminds me of like lisa frank, its so cute!! also you can never go wrong with a good fur. you're gonna kill it on Rpdr!!
I made a white faux fur jacket from your tutorial. I absolutely love it but my husband will not be seen in public with me if I wear it out. My problem is not him, I keep it in my car and wear it to work. It is that my cat also does not like it and has pissed on it. Do I launder it or take it to the dry cleaners?
I’ve been waiting 28 years to find out how the cuffs on lined jackets were so neat and inside sewn, I’m not quite sure if I know now, I think I’m more confused than before
I always use zigzag on stretch fabrics (like dance costumes where I'll be moving lots), but for fabrics that don't stretch (like the ones in this video) a zigzag stitch doesn't really make a difference so I'm indifferent and just tend to use a straight stitch :)
