Improper storage, scuffs or bends of the pile spoil not only the appearance of the fur product, but also knock a woman out of a rut. One consolation - such defects are easy to fix. Moreover, even with your own hands. With some sewing experience, of course
At home, sewing repair work on fur is carried out manually, with a goat stitch or overcasting. You cannot use a regular line machine, as it pulls the fur during operation and damages the flesh.For convenience and strength, a split seam is glued with a contact tape (without heat treatment!) And stitched with an overlock seam.
To eliminate a hole, a gap, a piece of fur is selected that is identical to the pile on the damaged area. A patch can be a part cut from a belt, a hem, a side seam.
With a blade or a tailor's (clerical) knife, carefully trim the edges of the damaged area, giving them the correct shape. When working with fur, scissors are not used, as they cut off the pile. After that, they carefully mark the patch without pulling on the fur. Finally, it is sewn with an overcast seam.
To complete the repair, you can tap lightly with a wooden mallet through cloth or paper to flatten out the fur.
Slight abrasions at the folds are eliminated by removing them into the inner seam. This will require
1.Unplug the bottom of the lining and the seams that secure the hem
This requires the hands of a professional. The fabric for the lining for a fur coat is chosen from natural materials or viscose so that the fur breathes. By agreement with the master, insulation is added or removed.
When stored properly, fur products can be used for several decades. In the case when the flesh is not overdried, the product can always be repaired.

It is possible to dress a woman beautifully and emphasize her status by dressing her in a mink coat. The product is not cheap, so I would like it to be worn for at least a few years. A suddenly torn fur coat will cause trouble for the owner, and repairs in the workshops are very expensive. How to sew a fur coat by hand and update the product, you will learn from this article.
It is quite possible to repair your favorite fur product with your own hands at home. A hole may form from small defects on the product, and from large defects - a rupture of the seam on the back or under the armpit. After assessing the degree of defects, you can decide how to sew a fur coat - alone or take it to specialists.
On the back and sleeves, the product is torn most often, and in these places it is most difficult to fake it. If you need to sew a fur coat on the back, then initially you need to rip off the lining and insulation from the inside. If you get to the place of the gap, you should cut out and apply a patch. The fur itself for the patch is not recommended to be cut with scissors, as the pile deteriorates. The patch is sewn to the break without pulling the skin and fur. Sewn with a regular marker stitch. If you tap with a wooden mallet at the place where the patch is applied, the fur will become smoother. To sew a fur coat on the back with high quality, you need to remember that the mink fur is heavy and durable. For hand sewing, use a thick leather needle, sew necessarily in the direction of the pile.
Sewing up a sleeve on a fur coat is not very easy, for this you have to rip off the side seam and rip off the lining. The armhole will need to be trimmed so that the size of the gap is clearly visible. If the fur is torn inside and the gaps are even, you can sew it yourself with a patch.
Sewing up the sleeve under the arm will be more difficult: to do this, you will need to insert and sew on a piece of fur. It can be purchased at the atelier, or, alternatively, cut from your clothes if you plan to redraw it in the future. For small gaps, the flesh can be glued on its own with soft glue. A rubber-based adhesive such as rubber is ideal.The edges of the torn product are pulled together with a thread and a needle, then a layer of cloth or gauze should be applied to this place, smeared with a layer of rubber soft glue. This will fix the seam so that the flesh will not deteriorate. The advantage of this method is that the skin will not tighten and the appearance will be restored. After the glue dries according to the manufacturer's instructions, provided that the edges are butt-glued together, no defects will be visible.
A mink coat along the length of the sleeve rarely needs to be repaired, since most of the product is torn under the arm.
Valuable mink fur must be properly stored and carefully inspected prior to purchase. A frequent problem of the owner of the product is a rupture at the seam. The seam should be sewn up with dense threads, and the fur pile should be turned outward, thus, then the seam itself will not be visible. If you sew up the product yourself, then you need to repeat all the stitches that have come apart with a needle. Step over the edges of the gap to prevent the seam from spreading. If you repair the product with a machine method, then a goat stitch or overcast stitch is best suited for sewing. A mink coat can be glued along the seam with a contact tape, then sewn with a goat-type overcasting stitch. Sewing up the seam in this way will be the most accurate and quick option. Having connected the parts with a butt joint, they are stitched, and then they simply comb the fur with a comb. The quality of the fur and the seams speaks for the durability of the product in the future.
In a fur coat made of natural fur, the lady looks elegant and rich. Most women have a mink coat. But styles are changing from season to season. Women do not like to wear an old-cut fur coat, although it is expensive. It is possible to alter it in accordance with the fashion trends of the season. To do this, the fur coat should be given to a fur coat repair shop, to professionals. If a mink coat suits the lady in appearance, but the product is rubbed or torn, it can also be repaired in an atelier or sewn up at home with your own hands.
Signs by which one can understand that the mink fur needs restoration look like this:
the edge of the sleeve shines and has lost most of the hairs;
scuffs are visible in the hem and around the pockets;
holes in the flesh are found or seams are torn (most often, armpit);
from constant wear, bald patches have formed on the canvas;
the lining is torn;
the hooks or buttons have come off along with the pieces of fur.
If a woman wants to change the color of the product, alter it according to the figure, change the style in accordance with the requirements of fashion, a mink fur coat should also be taken to a tailor shop for sewing and repairing fur products.
For alteration and renewal of a fur coat, you may need an additional different or exactly the same fur. This will increase the cost of the repair. The master will tell you the full price of the restoration when he establishes a list of works and materials for it. In this case, the client may ask to take into account some of her own wishes for the appearance of the fur coat.
If you are planning to repair a mink fur coat, it is better to trust the professionals. Customers prefer to do their own restoration if the cost of the repair is too high compared to the cost of the fur coat or if it is already old enough. In the latter case, it must be borne in mind that the flesh can crack during repairs, so the game is not worth the candle. A woman, moreover, must have some handicraft skills so that the restored piece of fur does not stand out against the background of the rest of the coat.
Most often, a heavily worn mink coat is torn at the seam by the armpit. This damage can be repaired by yourself. For repairs, you will need a silk thread in the color of the fur, needles, bandage, casein glue or Moment. The process of repairing fur coats is shown in the video. Sequence of work:
spread the fur coat on a flat surface;
connect the edges of the torn seam and sew it with silk thread;
cut off a thin strip of bandage and glue it to the seam with glue. Moment;
leave the fur coat for 2 days.
You should not immediately hang the mink coat on a hanger and put it in the closet.
Mezdra is torn either due to the long service life of the product, or due to poor-quality fur production. The edges of the hole are sewn with a furrier stitch. After the end of the work, the seam is carried out with a thimble soaked in water. If you cannot sew up the hole, you should try to glue a strip of leather or fabric to the edges of the injury brought together. For this, use casein glue or Moment. After restoration, the fur coat is kept in a horizontal position for several days.
If the seam is torn, you can restore it more firmly without sewing the edges to each other, but gluing them together. The stages of restoration look like this:
connect the edges and secure them with safety pins;
put a piece of gauze on top;
spread glue on the seam on top;
let the product dry;
cut off excess gauze.
If the flesh is strong enough, then the fur coat after this repair will serve for several more years.
Fur coats before and after restoration
Holes from constant wear most often appear on the back. To fix them, you need pieces of fur in color. The stages of patching up a fur coat look like this:
we strip off the lining and synthetic winterizer;
cut out a piece from the additional fur in the shape of a hole;
we sew a patch with threads in the color of the fur;
knock on the seam with a hammer so that the seam becomes even;
Sew up the insulation from the inside out, then the lining.
When a hole appears on the sleeve, in order to get to the damaged area, the seam is unpicked, including the lining and insulation. The same is done with the formation of a hole in the armpit. If the hole has jagged edges, it is trimmed to an oval or square.
Best of all, astrakhan fur coats lend themselves to restoration at home. It is better to entrust mink products to a professional. The photo shows fur coats that have been successfully repaired at home.
Fur coat before and after restoration
There are several tricks so as not to spoil the fur product when restoring at home:
Fur should not be stretched. This deforms the fur coat.
Small cuts and tears are best glued together rather than stitched together.
To straighten holes before patching, you should not use scissors, but a razor. At the same time, you need to be careful not to cut the hairs.
The adhesive must be based on inorganic solvents. Otherwise, the flesh will dissolve.
The process of patching a hole on the back of the product is shown in the video.
VIDEO In order for a fur coat to serve for a long time, you need to properly care for it: it is stored upright in a closet, which is treated with an anti-moth agent. Once a year, after the end of the season, the fur coat must be cleaned. If you need to do this less often, a dry cleaner will notify you of this. The temperature in the room where the fur coat is stored should not be too high - 18 degrees is fine.
Before you hand over an expensive item to a fur coat repair shop, you should read reviews about this company. Atelier for tailoring and repairing must be chosen responsibly. Sometimes the repair service for mink coats is offered by a master who works at home. Such craftsmen often repair the product no worse than the atelier. But it should be remembered that there are also many scammers. Wizards can be selected only on the recommendation of reliable friends.
Fur coat repair
A fur coat is an expensive outerwear. But you can also go through it for more than one season. Accordingly, the repair of such a product is not cheap. But you can try to carry out the repair yourself, just know how to glue the fur coat correctly and imperceptibly. Remember, repairing a fur coat should be carried out when you are confident in your abilities and the quality of the result.
What needs to be prepared before repairing a fur coat?
When gluing a fur coat, you will need glue (the moment will do the best with the task), threads to match the color of the fur coat or those threads with which the lining of the product is processed, a needle (it is better to prepare several needles of different sizes and thicknesses), a bandage.
How to glue a fur coat neatly and discreetly?
If the fur coat is torn at the seam, then this option is the most painless and not terrible.You just need to carefully but reliably sew up the place where the fur coat broke, while it is worth stitching the seam twice, and fixing the threads of the previous seam in order to prevent further spread of the hole in the seam.
If the skins themselves are torn, then you will also have to glue them. The choice is yours - to glue the fur coat yourself, or take the fur coat to the atelier for repairs. But in any case, this work is delicate and painstaking, so you should not do it without having a spare time.
Immediately decide on the place where you will be repairing the fur coat. After all, the fur coat will have to stay there for several days to dry without changing its position. Ideally, this should be a dry, sunny place where the fur coat can be easily positioned horizontally without twisting it.
To glue the fur coat, you first need to put the torn edges of the skins to each other as accurately as possible. Otherwise, even the slightest bias may appear on the appearance of the product. After that, carefully hem the pieces of skin together. Try to do this as carefully as possible with a thin needle so that the skins do not continue to tear.
After this procedure, prepare the glue for work. The timing is ideal for this procedure, unlike other adhesives, which can make the backing of the fur rough and inelastic, ultimately ruining the fur garment.
The bandage will also come in handy at this moment. Cut a piece of the bandage that will be slightly larger than the seam where the skins are held together. Saturate a piece of bandage with glue and place it over the seam. It is best for the bandage to saturate the glue well. You can even rub it into the skin to soak in the glue.
After that, leave the fur coat to dry and wait for the result of your work. But do not fiddle with, do not change the position of the fur coat, do not hang it in the closet, the glue will not dry out completely. Better if you ate you leave the fur coat in the position in which you glued it for several days in a dry place.
In what cases should you not glue your fur coat yourself?
If your fur coat is under warranty, then this is a reason to immediately take it to the store. And not to be creative. If the fur coat is torn during the warranty period, it means that the product is of poor quality and you are obliged to return the money for it. And besides this, after self-repairing a fur coat, you lose the warranty, that is, in the future you will no longer be able to return it or change it.
In addition, you should not experiment with gluing light-colored fur coats. It is not known how glue can appear on the surface of the product, especially white, beige or light gray.
Do not repair your fur coat at home if your fur coat is torn in an overly visible place. Otherwise, even the slightest bevel and inconsistency of skin particles will lead to the appearance of a wave and a spoiled appearance of the product. But then it will hardly be possible to fix something. Therefore, given the high cost of a fur coat, you need to treat it with care, avoid contamination, and even more the appearance of holes and gusts, if this, of course, depends on your accuracy, and not on the quality of the skins.
She took out her fur coat, and a hole appeared on the back. What to do? The workshop will take a lot. Fur coat is not the first year. I would like to know the opinion of those who themselves solved such issues with their own hands.
A mink coat is a very important part of a woman's wardrobe. She gives a serious opportunity to feel feminine and attractive even in cold winter conditions. Ideal as an element of outerwear.
In addition to its high aesthetic qualities, it also has good protective functions. Protects a woman's body from the effects of severe cold, which may seriously negatively affect her overall health and cause serious illness. This means that they will cause serious damage to both her appearance and beauty.
Like any other thing, a mink coat is subject to destructive influence under the negative influence of time and external circumstances. And also an insidious and cunning moth. You can easily fight moths with naphthalene.But damage and defects of a fur coat sometimes occur.
Small defects can be easily arranged on your own using a regular needle and thread or glue. The aim is for this procedure to leave minimal marks on the surface of the clothing. It all depends on personal skill, as well as the scale and nature of the damage.
If you lack the necessary experience, desire or damage is very serious, then you should turn to professionals for help. They have the necessary experience, skills and tools to deal with this problem. Fortunately, a large number of such services are offered.
1.I got me on the occasion of a fur coat for free, from nutria, last year. Fur seems to be like nothing else, but the wrong side - the skin (hereinafter MESDRA) is already very frail. Not because of the old age of the fur coat, not because the dressing is bad - to which I am more inclined, because. in places like not pulling the skin in different directions, it is stronger than jeans, and in places like toilet paper. Last year I repaired it a little and wore it for the winter (in the future I will show last year's repairs in the photo), but over the summer I recovered a little, and the moth gnawed the skin in one place, and from 3 fur coats, only this one spoiled it. one, with the repair of bald patches, shorten a little and embroider in the chest (everything is ok on the hips). And I filmed all this, suddenly someone will come in handy
Actually, there was such a bald spot, in the center of the back there was also on the cuff of the sleeve
For work we need: a clerical knife (or a razor blade), rubber glue (moment or crystal, etc.), a thin needle, threads in the color of fur or similar in color (no thicker than No. 40), cotton fabric. If the hole is not large and the area of the surface to be repaired is also small, then the glue and fabric can be replaced with a medical tissue adhesive plaster (hereinafter there is a photo of an example) Scissors and a pen or pencil, pieces of fur for repair (in my case, I shortened the fur coat and made from the cut fur patches and embroidered in the chest) And so let's get started: with a blade, or a knife, carefully holding the skin in weight, cut out a bald patch
We cut it out a little with a margin for good fur, then we put a piece of bald patches on a good skin of the bald patch (as in the photo), observing the direction of the fur, circle (without allowances) and keeping the skin in weight, carefully from the side of the bald patch, cut out a piece identical to our cut out bald patch
then we insert the cut piece into the hole (look at the direction of the fur) joint to joint and with oblique stitches we sew the thread to each other moderately (not strongly, but not weakly). Then, in the same way, we sew up all the holes and gaps in the menzdra.
There was such a hole on the sleeve not far from the seam.
Here I want to show that even if you have a gap into such small parts, do not despair, just carefully sew them into a single whole
And then we take our fabric glue and a fur coat and go to the balcony or corridor (because the glue smells very strongly in the apartment, it is not advisable to glue them) there we coat the entire seam and from the seam 2 cm in each direction with glue, let it dry out a little
put on the fabric and press firmly, make sure that all the edges are glued
After all the seams are cat. repaired glued, we again take a thread with a needle and sew our "sticker" with oblique stitches. This completes the menzdra repair
And this is my last year's repair with adhesive plaster, everything is the same as with glue and cloth
But as an experiment I tried this on double-sided tape, which is also good, but there are some peculiarities, after the tape was glued to the sponge, and the cloth to the scotch tape, all the skin should be washed well in my hands, and then, like everywhere else, quilted (here on it is a little more difficult to sew the scotch tape, the needle gets stuck in the scotch tape)
And this is the result of work - the place where there was a bald patch
And finally, a few photos of my tailoring - alterations from leather and fur. Here is such a sheepskin coat was sewn from an old adult sheepskin coat, I will say that this is the second sheepskin coat that I have already altered
This is how it was before the alteration, dirty in places with worn fur. The size of an adult sheepskin coat is 48, a children's one at the exit is 134.
And this is our first sheepskin coat, both of them are made of natural suede, and the fur inside is woolen (natural on a woven basis), the edges are all natural
This fur coat is all made of faux fur plush
Here is such a vest we sewed from a collar and hem from grandmother's polto
Here's another fur coat and a hat, probably not very visible, but it has ears on the crown
And I made such a fur coat for myself the year before last, it is a transformer, the sleeves can be unfastened, the lining removed, and a vest will turn out for the spring
I hope my MK will be useful and someone will save on expensive repairs in the studio. I ask you not to pay attention to the absence of commas and errors at 4 o'clock in the morning, as it is not up to that. And at other times of the day - the Internet is busy for a long time, then the pets do not give it. Oh, but I forgot to mention that after the repair, the fur coat must be thoroughly combed in order to straighten out all the villi captured by us during quilting.
