Do-it-yourself mink fur scarf

The fashion for hats is changing rapidly, but there is a constant accessory that goes through the whole history of mankind - a scarf and its variations.

Kerchiefs, shawls, stoles, trimmed with different types of fur, will become real decorations of your wardrobe.

Definition of a scarf, differences from a scarf

There are three main types of headscarves for women:

A scarf is the main option, it is square, not to be confused with a rectangular stole, as a rule, there is a fringe at the edges. Fringe can be silk or wool.
The shawl differs from the scarf in size (it is 1-5 centimeters larger), as well as in density . The shawl is denser, and therefore warmer. Pavlovo Posad shawls always have fringe silk.
The scarf is triangular in shape, it's like half a scarf . It is a rectangular equilateral triangle. Fringe is often absent.

Choose a fur

The most popular type of scarves made of mink fur are scarves trimmed with fur.

It must be remembered that the color of the fur must repeat any color on the canvas.

What kind of skins can they be:

Mink is the undisputed leader, often occupying large areas on a scarf.
Arctic fox - used for rim, including circular.
The red, black-brown fox is also sewn along the perimeter of the product.
Sable .
Raccoon .
Rabbit

The advantages of a scarf and a scarf over a hat

We will analyze in detail the benefits of tailoring a scarf with your own hands. Why does it make sense to put off the cap to put on such a new thing:

Scarves and shawls do not fit snugly to the head, do not bend hair, hair follicles suffer less.
Hair is greasy less, you have to wash your hair less often.
The scalp is breathing.
Scarves and scarves are perfect for a fur coat, an expensive coat.

Model Options

There are three main ways to decorate with fur:

Circular rim around the perimeter. These kerchiefs are more convenient to wear on your shoulders, it is inconvenient to tie under the chin. Depending on the size, such a model can be an analogue of a boa, or a full replacement for a jacket with a long sleeve.

A fur trim around the face. It is sewn from mink, sable, rabbit. Suitable as an addition to a fur coat with a hood.

The fur scarf is the warmest option, it covers almost the entire head, in winter it can replace a hat.

We sew a scarf trimmed with fur around the perimeter

Would need:

Finished woolen scarf or shawl, canvas 145 x 145 cm.
The skin of a fox or several mink skins or old fur products.
Threads in tone shawl or leather part of the fur.
Furrier needles.
Furrier knife or razor blades.

Working process:

It is necessary to cut the skin over the mezra with a thin knife or razor. We use a plastic or metal substrate, we ignore the wooden one, since the particles of the tree will get stuck in the pile:

We find all the attritions of the fur, the thin spots of the mezra, mark them with a ballpoint pen.
We mark on the skin strips of the necessary width, the length of all these strips should be equal to the perimeter of your product.

Advice! It is always necessary to observe the direction of the pile.

We cut our blanks.
We remove the fringe from the scarf, just cut it off carefully with scissors, grabbing about a centimeter of fabric.
Fold our scarf in half, iron it well.
Can be glued with double-sided non-woven.
We should get a double-sided canvas.
We process the edges in a convenient way.

Important! If your fur consists of pieces, sew them together before joining them with fabric. In the same way, all fragments of the rim are first transformed into one large ribbon.

Sew the resulting strips on the hands to the edge of the fabric with a seam over the edge. We straighten the fabric, we stretch, our seam should not pull.
Do not stretch the Mezdra.
Sew the skin on all sides of the strip.
You should be especially careful with the last fragment of fur.

We sew a fur hood

A scarf trimmed with fur only in the area around the face is called a hood.

Advice! For such work, a fur collar is suitable, you can not even rip it open.

Would need:

Ready scarf or scarf.
Any fur with a low pile, better mink, sable.
Lining fabric - flap.
Threads in tone shawl, or leather part of the skin.
Furrier needles.
Furrier knife or razor blades.

Working process:

We prepare the skin for cutting, marking all the unsuccessful areas on the mezdra.
We cut out the necessary shape.
For sewing, it is better to use lined fur. Lining fleece or shawl fabric.
Cut out the lining details, sew to the fur blank with a seam “over the edge”.
If you have a finished collar with a lining - this is ideal.
On the scarf, we note when trying on where the fur should be.
Sew our fur design with a lining to the scarf.

Try on.

Caring for a fur scarf

In order for this headdress to please you more than one season, you need to remember several rules of care:

As soon as you return home, shake the fur well, remove the remaining snow or hoarfrost.
Let it dry well and sag.
Comb dry fur with a brush.
Store the scarf so that it does not crumple.
If you sewed a product from a real Pavlovo Posad shawl, then do not wash it, give it to dry cleaning.
