Many have had to deal with a situation where an old fur coat or sheepskin coat in good condition hangs in the wardrobe, but its style leaves much to be desired. Fashion in terms of fur coat styles changes no less quickly than any other. Some styles are replacing others, and graceful models that fit the figure are becoming increasingly popular, rather than the previously common voluminous and dimensionless fur hoodies. Having altered a fur coat will help you turn an old fur coat into fashionable and modern clothes.

Having altered fur coats: how we are ready to help

They bring us products purchased at clothing markets, in branded stores and in fashion houses - budget, expensive and very expensive fur coats. The extensive experience of our craftsmen and professional equipment allow our studio to extremely carefully, delicately and efficiently alter or recut fur coats made of any type of fur.

We change the style, volume and length of the sleeves, and decorate the product with other fur, leather or fabric. Even the most drastic decisions are possible. Here are just some examples of what you can do:

  • alter a fur coat into a short jacket . An unfashionable large fur coat hung in the closet for a long time, now it has become a favorite and, most importantly, a very stylish thing.
  • alteration of a fur coat with a trapezoid silhouette into a coat . Options are possible with the coat: it can be either high-waisted or with a transverse layout of the skins. We would like to note that our company does not have a stock of skins; the skins needed to replace them are purchased by you from specialized organizations.
  • converting hoods into collars . Has the hood suddenly gotten in the way? Let's turn it into a cute shawl collar.
  • making a hood. Do you need a hood? No problem! We will make it from your fur; for this you can shorten the fur coat a little or sacrifice a hat made of similar fur.
  • reduction of the shoulder girdle. Previously, fur coats were cut with huge shoulders, into which large shoulder pads were installed. We will remove the old shoulder pads and trim the shoulder and sleeve to the correct size.

Service cost

Not every woman knows how to sew and wants to spend time at a sewing machine. And if the item has lost its appearance, it is better to buy a new one, but this theory does not apply to a mink coat. On average, a mink coat can serve its owner from fifteen to twenty years. But what happens is that the thing loses its appearance (it becomes small, the color fades, moths eat it, there can also be various chemical damage to the fur and lining). Therefore, turning to a seamstress is the best option. The cost of the service is affected by:

  1. The complexity of the work (from ordinary repairs to changing materials);
  2. Duration of work (if the winter season has already begun, and you urgently need to put on a fur coat, then you will have to pay extra money for urgency);
  3. Condition of outerwear.
  4. Type of work (alter or sew a fur coat, increase it by one size, reduce the length).
  5. The workshop and its level will also affect the final cost.
  6. If there is not enough mink fur to fulfill the client's wishes, then you will have to buy new fur, and it is not cheap.
  7. If altering a fur coat is not the client’s only desire, the cost will increase (for example, you will want other buttons, or a beautiful brooch).

Advantages and features of altering a fur coat

A fur coat is not only a beautiful outerwear, but also practical, as it always makes you feel warm and cozy. Therefore, if you have almost decided to throw away your old product, do not rush! After all, alter a fur coat either with your own hands or entrust the work to specialists from the studio.

One old item can make stylish fashionable clothes and accessories. The most common products are:

  • car coat;
  • neckpiece;
  • a cap;
  • fur jacket.

If, by a lucky chance, you have several fur coats from different furs and a leather item in your wardrobe, you will be able to combine them. The result will be a fur coat made from strips of fur and leather. An item created with your own hands will be unique. After all, you won’t be able to find anything like this in boutiques!

There is an unnecessary fur coat, alteration begins with the preparatory stage.

By this we mean:

  • determining your favorite style;
  • checking the fur for damage. After all, if a product hung in the wardrobe for a long time, then moths could eat it. If such areas are found, they should be cut out or replaced with new fur;
  • find patterns. All patterns for altering a fur coat can be made independently, taking into account your parameters and the dimensions of the existing product. As a last resort, they can be redrawn from any fashion magazine;
  • estimate the footage of suitable fur so that it is enough for the model you like.

The hardest thing will be to decide on the style, because you will immediately want to have different beautiful fur coats and jackets. But the choice will be simplified if you consider the following points:

  • desired length;
  • parameters and size of the old product;
  • own size.

The fair half of humanity, which is tall and has a standard figure, will suit any model. But if you have a non-standard figure, an elongated fur coat is recommended. If you can get a fur poncho from an old fur coat, then it will be ideal for overweight women.

Beginners are always interested in how to alter a fur coat with their own hands and what parts they use from it. To get a new product, sometimes it is enough to make small changes. Most often it can be supplemented with:

  • natural leather;
  • suede;
  • other fur;
  • leatherette.

If such additional materials are available, they must be used when developing a new model. When thinking about whether it is possible to outlive a fur coat , it is worth remembering that there is a chance to simply update it. If the appearance is not badly damaged by moths.

A once fashionable product can only be slightly refined without resorting to drastic changes. There are several ways to do this. Eg:

  • shorten, that is, cut off damaged parts;
  • lengthen - sew on something new;
  • sutured if the owner has lost weight.

When an old product cannot be updated, you will have to completely change the style. Doing this yourself is quite simple, but the duration of the procedure and complexity depend on the quality and type of fur. The only thing craftswomen need to remember is that they need to work with natural materials very carefully.

What else can you get from old fur?

The work of more experienced craftswomen can be used as a basis. If the inside of a mink coat has been preserved in fairly good condition, then it can be used for stylish and original accessories. Most often, craftswomen make boas, muffs, hats and even fur collars from it.

Professionals advise first to practice on some product that you don’t mind, and when starting to remake a fur coat, you should not use a stitching machine. Otherwise, there is a risk of ruining the fur.

Tailors and furriers will help you not only choose the style and finishing options, but will also accurately fit the product to your figure. to alter a mink coat , because new fur clothing will cost much more. In addition, in terms of the quality of fur, it can be many times inferior to the old one. An old mink coat makes an excellent hood with original ties and vests. If the item has become a little short, then the problem can be solved simply by inserting leather or suede pieces into the waist or sleeves.

What do you need to know when going to the studio?

  • First: outline for yourself what you would like. A sewing workshop is not a shopping center where you can shop around and choose a new style every time. Save your time and the tailor’s time if you haven’t yet decided whether you will order his services or not.
  • The second concerns the style. In order not to speak with the tailor in different languages, prepare, look through magazines, find a model you like on the Internet, then show the tailor what exactly you would like to receive.
  • Be on time. The master's time is scheduled by the minute, and if you are late, you will have to wait until the tailor finishes with the rest of the clients.
  • Remember: a tailor is also a living person. Don't be too critical of his work at the first meeting. When a product has just been basted, it is difficult to recognize the future new thing. The atelier master looks at things differently, so trust his professionalism.
  • Respect is an integral part of any job. Appreciate your master - he will reward you with excellent work.

Review

Having altered the fur coats, my husband gave me a mink coat. I bought it without trying it on. I wore it for a week and realized that the stand-up collar was pinching me, not comfortable, as if it was pressing on my throat. The “Mobile Tailor” studio began to remake it. We added 5 centimeters of fur to the stand. Previously, it was fastened end-to-end with a flip hook, but now it is fastened with an overlap on the hook and has become wider. More comfortable. The price was a pleasant surprise and so was the turnaround time. I recommend to all! Lydia T. , st. Roshchinskaya, metro station "Elektrosila"

Review

Having altered the fur coats, my mother left me a mink coat. The fur coat is beautiful, but it was 3 sizes too big for me. It hung there for two years until a friend advised me to contact your studio. The fur coat was altered quickly and carefully, and then, after dry cleaning, it became super, like new. I am very pleased. Daria Sh. , Pyatiletok Avenue, Prospekt Bolshevikov metro station

We sew a fur vest

Most often, an old fur coat is turned into a fur vest. After all, usually when worn, the sleeves of the product become greasy and wiped. And since the vest simply doesn’t have them, the altered item will look like it came from a store. In addition, the vest is universal - it can be worn with jeans or with a beautiful dress. This is a very comfortable outerwear for women who travel by car most of the time.

Put on your fur coat and stand in front of the mirror to determine the length of the vest. Then carefully, from the inside out, mark the cutting line using chalk or a piece of soap. Remember to leave about 2cm at the seam. Place the item on a hard surface (table) and carefully cut with sharp scissors. Hem the cut area using a machine. If you don’t have one, you can hem it yourself. It is better to do this with oblique stitches, not forgetting to tuck the fur inside with a needle. When sewing, do not forget to capture about 0.3 cm of the inside. First sew the product in one direction, and then go back. Don't pull the stitches too tight.

We rip off the sleeves of the fur coat with a blade, starting from the inside out. That is, first you need to rip the lining and only then the seams on the fur itself. This way you won't cut the product. The resulting armholes must be hemmed using the same method as the bottom. If you want, you can make a deeper neckline on the chest. Just don’t forget to first make outlines with chalk from the inside and only then start cutting.

All seams that you get in the process of altering the product must be wiped with a damp sponge and placed under a press. For example, place a heavy book on top of them. This is necessary to align the seam.

You can decorate the resulting vest to your taste - sew on large buttons decorated with rhinestones, for example.
