Let’s make stuffed animals! It’s wonderful
that there are so many talented bloggers,
and site owners out there who have been
generous enough to share their designs
with us. (To the tune of 180 patterns and
counting!)
And although many of these patterns call
for using felt or non-pile fabrics, some do
call for using fake fur (or you may simply
want to substitute fake fur for the non-
pile fabric called for in the pattern). So
here are some tips for working with fur:
To cut fur fabric, place it fur side down,
backing side up.

here are some tips for working with fur:
To cut fur fabric, place it fur side down,

And when laying your pattern pieces onto
your fur fabric, you may find it easier to use pattern weights to hold down the pattern pieces
instead of pins. Then you can trace your cutting line around the pieces with a fabric marking
pen and simply cut following the lines you’ve drawn.
If your fur has a nap to it (where the pile runs in one direction), make sure to lay out and cut
out your pattern so that all the pieces run in the same direction (usually with the pile running
down). This way, all of the pile in your finished item will run in the same direction.
Don’t double your fabric as you usually would with a non-fur fabric. Instead cut your fur fabric
in a single layer. This way, you won't be trying to cut through two bulky layers at once and
you’ll avoid cutting into the fur. (See more tips on working with fur on the next page.)
