We made a beautiful vest out of the fur cloth which was lying in our house for past 3 years. My daughter did the entire vest by herself except cutting. She had hand sewn the entire project.
Materials needed:
1. 1/2 to 1 yard of fur cloth (All fabric shops have that)
2. Scissors
3. Needle
4. Thread
5. Newspaper
6. Marker
7. A sleeveless top
Method:
Step 1: Trace the sleeveless top on a newspaper. Make 1/2 inches bigger on the sides and shoulder portions for seam allowance.
Step 2: Cut out the tracing. This is our template for the vest.
Step 3: Turn the fabric over and pin the template to the fabric. Caution: Please check whether fur is in the right direction. We did not check and realized after cutting. Now our fur is pointing in all wrong directions  :-((
Step 4: Trace the template twice – one for the front and another for the back. Cut out the pieces.
Step 5: After cutting, I cut the neck portion of one of the pieces little lower. This is the front side.
Step 6: Have the right sides of both the pieces together and sew along shoulders and sides. Please refer the diagram.
Step 7: As I said, Â my daughter hand sewed the vest. It took her nearly 3 hours to sew.
Step 8: Make a vertical cut at the middle of the front side for opening. The vest is done!
