6 tips to to handle the fur<\/h3>\n

Fur…!!<\/p>\n

It’s like “marmite” ! Some love it, some hate it! but no one remains indifferent !<\/p>\n

There is true or fake fur… We are not going to dertermine here wich one is the best, but we will simply give you some tips to sew it.<\/p>\n

Those beast skins can be tamed if you follow some technics, quite easy !<\/p>\n

1- Your pin, you won’t loose \"\"<\/h4>\n

If you have a long hair fur, you can quickly loose your pin and needle into the fur ! And get hit when you wear the jacket !\u00a0 To avoid it, let’s use pins with big colored heads, or even clips, to find them easily.<\/p>\n

2- The direction of hairs, you will respect<\/h4>\n

Obviously the first thing to do while preparing your fabric, is to note the grain line.<\/p>\n

It’s always true, but even more about fur ! The direction of hairs will show you the grain lines.<\/p>\n

3- With a Simple thickness,\u00a0 you will work\"\"<\/h4>\n

For big thickness, do not fold your fabric into a usually.<\/p>\n

It would : create to much gap , and be hard to cut .<\/p>\n

Instead, first, you can place the fur on the wrong side (skin or mesh).<\/p>\n

Then you place your half pattern on one side, and then you reproduced it symetrically on the other side (like a miror), in order to built the entire pattern.<\/p>\n

We can do this on paper, or directly on fabric with chalk.<\/p>\n

4- Hairs, you won’t cut<\/h4>\n

The most important point !<\/p>\n

DO NOT CUT the hairs of the fur !!! \"\"<\/p>\n

I can hear you saying “how to cut my fair without cuting the hairs?”<\/p>\n

In fact, you will cut the mesh (or the skin for real fur) but without touching the hairs.<\/p>\n

To do it, you will insert your cisor blade as close as possible from the canvas, and clearing out the hair as you can<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(you will necessarly cut some but the less, the better)<\/p>\n

Why ? In order to preserve the naturel aspect of the fleece, and to make the hair hang just right.<\/p>\n

If you prefer, you can use a little pair of cisors ( like brodeuse’s)<\/p>\n

5- Large stiches, you will use<\/h4>\n

you have traced the pattern, cut the fur : it is now time to sew<\/p>\n

For this step, it’s quite easy : you will choose a fiting needle : specific for leather for real fur, or adapted to the canvas for fake fur ( jersey,large, thin… depanding on the fabric) .<\/p>\n

Good to know : you can tune on wider stich. for instance 3-5 can do the job. This will help to bring out the hairs then.\u00a0 whereas, a too tight stictch will block out the hairs<\/p>\n

6- The fur, you will release<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now take a deep inspiration and learn patience !<\/p>\n

Get a needle or any other thin tool (toothpick, big needle, pin…)\u00a0 : thin but solid !<\/p>\n

and we will “release” the fur hairs, incorporated into the seam , in order to make them place properly.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it will “erase” a bit the seam by hidding it under the fur.<\/p>\n

(it’ not obvious on this picture but you will see it will doing it !)<\/p>\n

Last but not least, for your first times with fur, choose pattern\u00a0 made for:\u00a0 simple, without pleat or dart. For instance Goya pattern<\/a> is perfect for that , a lovely sherperd liked jacket without sleeve, designed to be sewn in fur.<\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0!\u00a0 You are ready to sew perfectly fur !!<\/p>\n

And.. the last advice… Don’t forget to efficiently\u00a0 vacume at the end.<\/p>\n

Yes, fur is made with hairs, and you will know it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
