As for the style - here you can show your imagination at full strength - in fashion, short, elongated waistcoats - up to the hip line, and very long, practically reaching the line of the knees, fitted, loose and bulky, with or without a collar, with a button closure or The zipper. For sewing a stylish waistcoat, you can use fur as artificial as well as natural, it is acceptable to combine fur of different quality, having different length of pile. In vogue, also vests, in which the fur is used as a finishing for fabrics of different textures. For example, the usual pattern of a denim vest can serve as the basis for creating an exclusive product, in which the common idea is, at first glance, different in sounding materials.

What material to choose for vests

So, the vest pattern is ready, then you should worry about the material for sewing it. We have already mentioned that fur can be used in different qualities and colors. Everything depends on your preferences, taste and financial possibilities - the purchase of natural fur is not among the cheap purchases.

A more affordable option would be the use of quality artificial fur. It does not require a great deal of money and the original way of creating products from thin strips of fur. By the way, in this case, you will not even need a pattern of a vest - for a basis it is possible to take any knitted vest, cut from a fur braid it is necessary accurately to pass in loops of the knitted product. The vest made in this way will look attractive enough and original.

Cutting fur for a waistcoat should be made with a very sharp knife, on the wrong side, in accordance with the lines transferred.

Sew the cut parts by hand, with a special furrier suture. You can use a sewing machine, which has a "zigzag" function. When assembling the parts, you should pay special attention to how the fur is laid on the seams, otherwise the seams will be visible and the waistcoat will look sloppy. Shoulder stitches to impart strength to the product should be sewn with a thin, not stretching braid or ribbon. If fur is used for making a waistcoat, then it is desirable to squeeze it on the side. Thus, it is possible to prevent damage to the basis of the fur from tears under mechanical loads.

For the manufacture of the lining of the product, the same vest pattern is used. It can be made from quilted lining fabric on sintepone, which is sold in any fabric store. To produce the lining, you can also use a dense satin or a twill, as a warming layer it is easy to take the same sintepon or already a large woolen scarf or scarf that has already lost its appearance. Quilting the lining at this time will have to do it yourself, but even with a prolonged sock on it there will not be any spools of sintepon fiber. For convenience, a small pocket can be sewn on the inside of the shelf.
