Sew-a-Long: Faux Fur Stole

10/15/2013

8 Comments

 
Hope you all had a happy Saint Valentines day. I kept warm with my DIY faux fur stole this Valentines. Here are the step by step instructions on how to sew one. By the way, I kept it super chill this Valentines by going to Costco for pre-dinner fries with the man then delish sushi for real-dinner.

Materials

Step 1

  • 1M of Faux Fur fabric
  • 1M of Jersey Rib Knit fabric for lining
  • Matching thread
  • Sewing machine
  • Pins​
  • Fabric scissors or rotary cutter
  • L Ruler
  • Measuring tape
  • Chalk or marking pen
  • Vacuum
Cut out one piece of faux fur and one piece of lining in the measurements below. I have used a jersey rib knit as it stretches nicely and is soft when wearing. You can also use a silk for lining.

Your seam allowance is 1/2 inch. Please take note of the grain-line. Your grain-line should be running parallel to the selvage edge of the fabric.

Step 2

Cut out slits on fur piece as shown. This becomes the holder area for the other end of the stole to sit in. I recommend cutting from the wrong side of the fabric that way the fur pile does not get in the way.

Keep your vacuum handy! Vacuum your project after you do any cutting to the fur.

Step 3

Place fur and lining right sides facing each other and pin. Leave a 3-5” opening to flip inside out.

Step 4

Sew all the way around the stole, leaving your opening, un-sewn.  Be sure to backstitch at the opening area so the opening does not rip open while flipping later. Your seam allowance is 1/2 inch. Red line below is your sew line.

Step 5

Trim away any excess bulk fabric in your seam allowance area. I always trim away excess fabric at the corners, that way your corners actually look like a corner.

Step 7

Slip-stitch shut the opening by hand.

How do you finish off the slits?

Hi Vicki,

If you cut your openings exactly on the cross-grain there is no need to finish raw edge. Follow the lines on the back of faux fur as your guide. Just ensure when you are cutting faux fur, only cut the backing, not the actually fur. I suggest cutting with the backside facing you and using the tip of your scissors only.

If you would like to finish the raw edges, I would apply a close whip (overcast) stitch approx 1/8" in height.

Hope that was helpful. Thanks for reading my blog.

PS- I think you sent me an email too :)

Thanks,
Sheila
