Try Sandra Betzina's method: cut without seam allowance, comb/stroke the hair (no matter how long) toward the inside, zigzag both pieces just at the edge, pull a bit and voila! Perfect invisible seam, no fuss. I've liked fake fur much more since I tried this method :-).Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840477980234593438.post-75619291217503650412010-11-30T20:46:57.843-05:002010-11-30T20:46:57.843-05:00These are gorgeous coat and vest!

I wanted a rabbit fur jacket so badly, but my parents couldn't afford one. I may try making myself a faux fur jacket. I always enjoy seeing your work.
