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 bring trouble to the owner, and repairs in 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. From small defects on the product, a hole may form, and from large defects, a seam rupture on the back or under the arm.After assessing the degree of defects, you can decide how to sew up 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 tear off the lining and insulation from the inside. If you get to the place of the gap, you should cut and apply a patch. It is not recommended to cut the fur for the patch with scissors, as the pile deteriorates. The patch is sewn to the place of the rupture, without pulling the skin and fur. Stitch with a regular marker line. If you tap the place where the patch is applied with a wooden mallet, the fur will become more even. To qualitatively sew a fur coat on the back, you need to remember that mink fur is heavy and durable. For hand sewing, a thick leather needle is used, it is necessary to sew in the direction of the pile.
It is not very easy to sew up a sleeve on a fur coat, for this you will have to rip the side seam and tear 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 tears are even, you can sew it with your own hands by putting a patch.
It will be more difficult to sew a sleeve under the arm: for this you will need to insert and sew on a piece of fur. It can be purchased at the studio, or, alternatively, cut out of your clothes if you plan to reshape it in the future. With small gaps, the core can be glued independently 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 fabric or gauze coated with a layer of rubber soft glue should be applied to this place. Thus, the seam will be fixed, and the mezra 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 glued butt-to-butt, no defects will be visible.
A mink coat along the length of the sleeve rarely needs to be repaired, since the product is mostly torn under the arm.
Valuable mink fur must be properly stored and carefully inspected before purchase. A common problem for the owner of the product is a tear along the seam. The seam should be sewn up with dense threads, and the fur pile should be turned outward, so that the seam itself will not be visible later. If you sew the product yourself, then you need to repeat with a needle all the stitches that have diverged. In order to avoid sprawling of the seam, step over the edges of the gap. If you repair the product by machine, then the goat or overcast line is best suited for firmware. A mink coat along the seam can be glued with a contact tape, then stitched with an overcast stitch like a goat. Sew up the seam, thus, will be the most accurate and fastest option. Having connected the parts butt-to-butt, they are stitched, and then the fur is simply combed with a comb. The quality of fur and seams indicates the duration of wearing 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 change from season to season. Women do not like to wear a fur coat of an old cut, although it is expensive. It is possible to alter it in accordance with the fashion trends of the season. To do this, a fur coat should be given to a fur coat repair studio, to professionals. If a mink coat suits a lady in appearance, but the product is worn or torn, it can also be repaired in an atelier or sewn at home with your own hands.
Signs by which you can understand that mink fur needs restoration look like this:
the edge of the sleeve is shiny and has lost most of the hairs;
scuffs are visible in the hem and near the pockets;
holes are found in the mezdra or the seams are torn (most often, under the armpit);
from constant wear, bald patches formed on the canvas;
the lining is torn;
hooks or buttons came off along with bits 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 coat should also be taken to an atelier for tailoring and repairing fur products.
To remake and update 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 sets the list of works and materials for it. At the same time, 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 coat, it is better to trust the professionals. Clients prefer to do their own restoration if the repair cost is too high compared to the cost of the fur coat or if it is already quite old. In the latter case, it must be borne in mind that the mezdra can crack during repairs, so the game is not worth the candle. A woman, moreover, must have some needlework skills so that the restored piece of fur does not stand out from the rest of the fur coat.
Most often, a heavily worn mink coat is torn at the seam under the armpit. This damage can be repaired by yourself. For repairs, you will need a silk thread in the color of fur, needles, bandage, casein glue or Moment. The process of repairing fur coats is shown in the video. Sequence of work:
lay 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 Moment glue;
leave the coat to lie for 2 days.
You should not immediately hang a mink coat on a hanger and put it in a closet.
The mezdra is torn either due to the long period of use of the product, or due to poor-quality fur production. The edges of the hole are sewn with a furry stitch. After finishing work, the seam is carried out with a thimble soaked in water. If it is not possible to sew up a hole, it is worth trying to glue a strip of skin or fabric on the edges of the damage brought together. To do 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, it can be restored more firmly by not sewing the edges to each other, but by gluing them together. The restoration steps look like this:
connect the edges and secure them with safety pins;
put a piece of gauze on top;
smear the seam with glue on top;
let the product dry;
cut off excess gauze.
If the mezra 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 repair them, you need pieces of fur in color. The stages of patching a fur coat look like this:
we rip off the lining and synthetic winterizer insulation;
cut out a piece of additional fur in the shape of a hole;
we sew a patch with threads in the color of fur;
knock on the seam with a hammer so that the seam becomes even;
sew up the insulation from the inside, then the lining.
When a hole appears on the sleeve, in order to get to the damaged area, the seam is ripped, including the lining and insulation. The same is done with the formation of a hole in the armpit. If the hole has uneven edges, it is cut to the state of an oval or square.
Astrakhan fur coats lend themselves best to restoration at home. Mink products are best left to a professional. The photo shows fur coats that were successfully repaired at home.
Fur coat before and after restoration
There are several tricks so as not to spoil the fur product during restoration at home:
Fur should not be stretched. This will deform the coat.
Cuts and tears of small sizes are best glued rather than stitched.
To align holes before patching, it is worth using not 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 pulp 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 it needs to be done less frequently, the dry cleaner will let you know. The temperature in the room where the fur coat is stored should not be too high - 18 degrees is quite suitable.
Before you hand over an expensive thing to a fur coat repair studio, you should read reviews about this company. Ateliers for tailoring and repair must be chosen responsibly. Sometimes repair services for mink coats are offered by a master working at home. Such craftsmen often repair the product no worse than the atelier. But be aware that there are many scammers out there. Masters can be chosen only on the recommendation of reliable friends.
How to alter a fur coat at home? Remaking 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 selection. Natural fur coats are luxurious, but not always practical. Therefore, the bottom of the fur coat, the bottom of the sleeves and the selection are most susceptible to wear. It's a shame when a mink coat, after one season, wears out and loses its attractiveness.
This can be easily fixed with your own hands at home. Shorten the fur coat, eliminate the scuffs, and you get a new fur 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 alteration of the fur coat 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 at the waist, hips, chest and lines do not match your height (with your natural lines on the figure), this can be corrected. Unzip 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 seam of the connection, either raise it or lower it. Balancing the location of the seam, you can change the model of the fur coat and the visual proportions of the figure. How to shorten a fur coat due to the 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 a women's and men's hat with earflaps. back to index ↑
The fur coat is most subject to wear and tear, as it is most exploited. The fur wears out, because of this, scuffs form on the bands. How to remove scuffs? The best way is to replace the pick. Don't worry, it's not difficult! 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 conventional machine. 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 in a zigzag.
So I once sewed a fur coat from the skins of an imported fox on my Janome typewriter in a zigzag pattern. The machine handled everything perfectly, did not even skid in place. It sews like suede. If the progress is poor, you can use tracing paper or a Teflon foot. Watch my next video tutorial on how to properly replace the pick and hooks on a fur coat:

Sleeves on a fur coat are no less prone to abrasion of the pile. When, after winter wear, bald patches and bald spots are visible on the bottom of the sleeves, then your favorite fur coat loses its value. It is very easy to remove scuffs and give the sleeves their former 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 to shorten the bottom of the sleeve of a fur coat. More about this in the next video tutorial:

And finally, the last 4 stage of updating the fur coat. Here you will learn how to process the bottom of a fur coat with slits on the sides with facing and lining on the fly. This method makes it easy to climb inside the fur coat and perform any repairs. For example, sew up a hole, fit a fur coat along the side seams, replace the hook, put in a heater, 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 the updated fur coat on myself.

Improper storage, as well as bends or scuffs of the pile, often spoil not only the outer fur product, but also unsettle its owner. The only consolation is the fact that such defects can be corrected independently. From this article you will learn how to repair a mink coat with your own hands.
At home, such sewing repairs are carried out manually - with an overcast seam or a goat seam.
Important! In no case should you use an ordinary line machine - it stretches natural fur during operation and damages the core.
For easier and better work, the open seam must be glued with a special contact tape (without heat treatment) and stitched with an overcast seam.
In order to eliminate a hole or a gap, it is necessary to pick up a piece of fur with the same pile as in the damaged area.
Important! For a patch, you can take a part cut from the belt, side seam or selection.
To sew a mink coat with your own hands, you must follow the following algorithm:
Using a blade or tailor's (clerical) knife, carefully trim the edges of the damaged area, giving it the desired shape.
Important! When working with fur, you can not use scissors - they cut off the pile.
Gently baste the patch, trying not to pull on the fur.
Finally sew on the patch with an overlock stitch.
At the final stage, the place of repair should be lightly tapped with a wooden hammer through thin fabric or paper - this is necessary in order to even out the fur.
You can eliminate small fraying on the folds by tucking them into the inseam. To do this, you must follow this algorithm:
Rip off the bottom lining and the seams that secure the hem.
Carefully sweep away the bald spot.
Duplicate using cold contact tape.
Cut out the damaged area with a blade or knife.
Next, you need to sew the edge together with the contact tape, using the overcast seam.
Turn the fur product inside out, tap the seam through fabric or paper.
Sew the lining back in place.
To repair the fur of a fur coat by replacing the lining, you need to contact the master.
Important! 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 product can be repaired.
In order to restore your favorite fur coat, you need to stock up on the following materials:
Threads of the right color.
A set of needles.
Bandage.
Coat glue.
If your fur coat was torn along the seam, then this option will be the most painless and not scary. It is enough just to carefully, but at the same time, securely sew up the damaged place where the fur coat was torn.
Important! In this case, it is necessary to flash the seam twice, and fasten the threads of the first seam in such a way 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 seal it with his own hands, or take the fur product to the studio for a specialist to do it.
Important! It is necessary to immediately decide on the place of 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 placed horizontally without twisting it.
Do-it-yourself fur product repair is 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 inconspicuous distortion 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 gently as possible, while using a thin needle so that damaged skins do not continue to tear.
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 adhesive composition you like.
Cut off a piece of the bandage - it should be slightly larger than the seam where the two skins are fastened together. Next, you need to soak the cut piece of bandage with glue and attach it to the seam.
Leave the fur product to dry.
Important! During drying, you can not pull, 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 repair.
