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 take proper care of it: it is stored upright in a cabinet, 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.
How to alter a fur coat at home? To alter a fur coat with your own hands is not an easy task, but it is quite doable. One has only to start, and then everything will go like clockwork. In this article, you will learn how to shorten the bottom of a fur coat, sleeves and update the hem. Natural fur coats are luxurious, but not always practical. Therefore, the bottom of the fur coat, the bottom of the sleeves and the hem are most susceptible to wear and tear. It's a shame when a mink coat, after one season, wears out and loses its attractiveness.
You can easily fix this with your own hands at home. Shorten the fur coat, remove the scuffs, and you get a new coat at no extra cost. On this topic, I recorded a mini video course on how to alter an old fur coat. The course consists of 4 video lessons, from the beginning of the fur coat alteration to the finished result. Each stage of restoration is a new lesson. At the end of the last video, you will see how the fur coat has changed. What she was BEFORE and what she became AFTER.
If your fur coat is cut off along the waist, hips, chest and lines do not match your height (with your natural lines on the figure), this can be corrected. Unpick the seam connecting the top and bottom (bodice and skirt), then mark the desired size. You can cut off the excess, both on the bodice and on the skirt itself.
It all depends on where you want to move the joint seam, either raise it or lower it. By balancing the location of the seam, you can change the model of the fur coat and the visually proportions of the figure. How to shorten a fur coat at the expense of a bodice, about this in my first video tutorial:

If you have leftover fur, you can sew a warm hat out of them. Take a look at my master class: how to sew women's and men's hats with earflaps. back to contents ↑
The underside of a fur coat is most susceptible to wear and tear, since it is most used. The fur wears out, because of this, scuffs form on the hem. How to remove abrasions? The best way is to replace the pick. Do not be alarmed, there is nothing difficult in this! As a result, you will not only update your expensive fur coat, but also replace all the hooks and loops that wear out over time.
Recommendation!
If you do not have a furrier machine, then all operations can be performed manually, well, in extreme cases, on a regular machine. In this case, only the width of the seam should be 0.3 - 0.5 cm, split the allowances in different directions. In the event that the skin on the fur coat is elastic and thin (chinchilla, rabbit, mink, etc.), then the details can be stitched with a zigzag.
So I once sewed a fur coat from the skins of an imported fox on my Janome machine in a zigzag fashion. The machine coped with everything perfectly, did not even slip in place. Sewn like suede. If progress is poor, tracing paper or Teflon foot can be used. Watch my next video tutorial on how to properly replace the collars and hooks on a fur coat:

Sleeves on a fur coat are no less prone to abrasion of the pile. When, after winter socks, bald patches and bald spots are visible along the bottom of the sleeves, then your favorite fur coat loses its value. It is very simple to remove scuffs and give the sleeves the same look. Thanks to this, you can change the model of the sleeves, narrow / widen or shorten.
If you know the technology of working with fur, then shortening the bottom will take very little personal time.This time I decided to try a new way, how to shorten the bottom of the sleeve of a fur coat. More on this in the next video tutorial:

And finally, the last 4 stage of the fur coat renewal. Here you will learn how to finish the bottom of a fur coat with slits on the sides with piping and lining at the departure. This method makes it easy to get inside the fur coat and make any repairs. For example, to sew up a hole, fit a fur coat along the side seams, replace a hook, put in a heater, and make some other changes.
And at the same time, there is absolutely no need to rip the lining along the bottom to get inside, and then sew it up again. The method is very simple and convenient for further work. At the end of this video, I will demonstrate on myself the updated fur coat.

Gently sweep the patch, being careful not to stretch the fur.
Finally, sew on the patch with an overcast seam.
At the final stage, the place of repair needs to be lightly tapped with a wooden hammer through a thin cloth or paper - this is necessary in order to level the fur.
You can fix minor frayed folds by tucking them into the inseam. To do this, you must follow this algorithm:
Unwrap bottom lining and seams that secure the hem.
Carefully sweep the area of the bald patches.
Duplicate using cold contact tape.
Cut out the damaged area with a razor or knife.
Next, you need to sew the edge together with the contact tape, using the overlock stitch.
Unscrew the fur garment, tap on the seam through fabric or paper.
Sew the lining back on.
To fix the fur of a fur coat by replacing the lining, you need to contact a master.
Important! The lining fabric for a fur coat should be chosen from viscose or natural materials so that the fur can breathe. After consulting with the master, you can add or remove insulation.
Even a hole in a fur item can be repaired.
In order to restore your favorite fur coat, you need to stock up on the following materials:
Threads of a suitable color.
A set of needles.
Bandage.
Glue for a fur coat.
If your fur coat has been torn at the seam, then this option will be the most painless and not scary. It is enough just to neatly, but at the same time, to reliably sew up the damaged area where the fur coat has torn.
Important! In this case, it is necessary to sew the seam twice, and fasten the threads of the first seam so as to prevent further spread of the hole in the seam.
If the skin itself is torn, then you will have to glue it. The choice remains with the owner of the fur coat - he can either glue it with his own hands, or take the fur product to the atelier for a specialist to do it.
Important! It is necessary to immediately decide on the location of the restoration, because the fur product will have to be there for several days in order to dry well, while not changing its original position. The ideal option is a dry and sunny place where the fur coat can be easily positioned horizontally without twisting it.
Do-it-yourself fur repair works as follows:
The first step is to attach the torn edges of the fur to each other as accurately as possible.
Important! Be as careful as possible! Otherwise, even an imperceptible skew may affect the appearance of the repaired product.
Next, you need to carefully sew the pieces of torn skin to each other. Try to do this as carefully as possible, while using a thin needle so that the damaged skins do not continue to rip.
After that, it is worth preparing the glue for further work. Glue Moment like no other is suitable for this procedure, however, you can use any other glue you like.
Cut off a piece of the bandage - it should be slightly larger than the seam where the two skins are joined. Next, you need to soak the cut piece of bandage with glue and attach it to the seam.
Leave the fur garment to dry.
Important! During drying, you cannot fiddle with, change the position of the fur coat, hang it in the closet. It will be much better if you leave the fur coat in the position in which it was during the renovation.
