Before you start off, you are required to choose the design and shape that you want. However, with fur you have to make the design as simple as possible. Pleats are going to disappear on the fabric. At the same time seem lines will make the material seem overdone. To formulate it just right use simple shapes and the end product will be something beautiful.

Cut out the design of your choice, this can be taught if you are not too accurate with the scissors. To help you out you can draw the outline on the back of the fabric and use this to cut out. Make sure the design is right because when you cut it out, that is the design that must be used.

Ensure that whatever object you use in the cutting is sharp. Blunt object tends to make you lose too much fur, and this could destroy the cloth. Find a sharp scissors to help you not only cut but also ensure that much is not lost.

Have a good vacuum cleaner to clean as you go, especially if you want to make many pillows. Fake fur shades like crazy and could leave the place messy.

Unlike other fabrics, with fur you need to use a large needle preferable on that is 90 or bigger so that it can make the stitching easy. When sewing you need to use long stitches.

Stitching starts when by smoothen the fibers of the coat, this can be some by using an object like a credit card and direct it to the direction that the nap flows or the seam line. Once the fur is smoothened, then you can start the stitching.
