I think I may have exhausted my interest in faux animal fur!
This is a low pile pile, silky smooth, faux leopard fur purchased about a year ago. It was too thin for any warmth, so I lined it with a quilted scramble knit (the equivalent of a knit double cloth, only it is stretchy and a little warm). Really, it was more for stability than for any true warmth.
The pattern is a 1962 vintage swing coat I purchased from Etsy some months back. My sewing room became Fur-ville, fur everywhere....... My machine could use a vacuum.....
A fun project, heavy on the leopard look...and I did have leftovers....that will be the next post....
What a fabulous coat! I could really use one of these in my closet for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteI love this , it will be lovely for evenings etc . I bet it's lovely and warm.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Now you're scaring me about the fur flying all over the place as I have a piece of faux fur here that I want to make into a shrug; not sure I want to be vacuuming all weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays and much love to the family!
This is so cute and I love the button you used at the neckline!
ReplyDeleteYou know that I LOVE it! faux fur, leopard, vintage, swing....my favorite words! I know what you mean about fur everywhere...I just cut my collar for my coat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun look. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to feed my obsession with faux fur this season! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMore volume always keeps the animal print looking classy! I have sewn poly-fleece minky recently and had a similar experience with bits of fluff everywhere. Would love to try the faux fur sometime...
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful coat! Everyone needs a lovely fur coat in their wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteWonderful jacket! I know what you mean. I swear I spat out fuzz for a couple of days after I finished my last faux fur project! It will be a while before I start another one, but this sure inspires me.
ReplyDeleteThis coat would look fantastic over a sheath dress. Maybe a red or black one. Oh, now I am jealous!
