Instructions
Step 1
If the fur coat has abrasions on the elbows, in the middle of the shelf, sew a beautiful pillow from places untouched by time. Any form can be. Make it square, round. Perhaps you want the pillow to be in the shape of a heart, a bone - this is also feasible.
Step 2
Start by ripping open the old item. To do this, use a razor blade, but in this case, you need to be extremely careful not to cut yourself. You can do this with small scissors or a special device for ripping seams.
Step 3
Lining fabric is not needed for this product, but do not throw it away either, sew a string bag. Draw the shapes of the future pillow on cardboard or whatman paper, cut along the marked lines. Place the stencil on the seamy part of the fur coat, sketch out. Carefully cut with a blade along the markings, leaving a 1.5 cm seam allowance on all sides. Cut only the flesh, no fur.
Step 4
Fold 2 halves of the future pillow with the wrong sides up, stitch them together, leaving space for the hand unstitched. Turn the blank through it, stuff it with pieces of fabric, syndepon or batting.
Step 5
It is also easy to sew a children's soft toy from an old fur coat. Make a heron or a swan. These representatives of the winged world can be created without a pattern. On a Whatman paper or cardboard, draw a large number 2. Make its base semicircular - this is the back of a swan. This line is curved upwards. Connect its two points, placing a straight line just below - this is a flat stomach. Attach a paper pattern to the seamy part of the old fur coat, cut and sew, as in the previous case.
Step 6
If it's a heron, cut two identical pieces of wire to make legs. Paint them with red varnish, let dry. Cut the legs out of red fabric, the beak, like the body, stuff them with syndepon. Attach and stitch these bird pieces into place.
Step 7
To sew a bear skin from a fur coat, repulse the right and left front part from it. From them, cut out his head, connect the parts with a seam, stuff it with batting through the hole in the lower part. Fill the sleeves with it too, sew at the bottom in the shape of the paws of the beast. Unfasten the collar, sleeves and back and lay on the floor. Sew your head to the middle of the back.
Step 8
From an old fur coat, seats for stools, chairs will turn out to be comfortable. For them, you can use not only the front and back, but also the sleeves, spreading them along the seam and expanding. It is important that they are not frayed. Cut out circles or squares, depending on the shape of your pieces of furniture. From a thin but dense fabric along the transverse line, cut out a 3 cm wide edging. Connect it to the cut out seat with the front parts, sew, bend and sew to the wrong side of the cover, leaving a gap of 2 cm. Put the elastic through it with a pin, measure it along the size of the seat, tie the ends, put on it.
